The Smashing Machine is bombing hard at the box office. The new A24 film was set to put Dwayne Johnson on the map as a serious actor who could potentially be recognized come award season. While that may still very well happen, The Smashing Machine is unfortunately not leaving a dent with the audience. The Smashing Machine is not even coming close to making back its budget. The box office numbers are terrible after 10 days on the market and the 2nd week showed a 73% drop in audience interest. The Rock has not been cooking lately but I'm sure Jumanji 3 will turn things around for him.

The Woman In Cabin 10 Movie Review - Netflix has a new murder mystery thriller called "The Woman in Cabin 10". Keira Knightley, who is typically great, unfortunately sleepwalks through this dull take on the novel. I found The Woman in Cabin 10 to be a very uninspired, watchable film that isn't worth your time.

Kiss of the Spider Woman Movie Review - J.Lo is back in theaters in a musical called "Kiss of the Spider Woman". A musical remake of the 80's classic. Do all the twirls save this film from being the next Emilia Perez? I let you know in a review for Kiss of the Spider Woman!

Tron: Ares Movie Review - Tron is back, babyyyyy. The third installment to the Troniverse is here but the film feels more like a direct sequel to the original. Tron: Legacy is almost completely ignored. Unfortunately, it's ignored for a lackluster story revolving around a new CEO and a rival company on a mission to solve the key to a future arms-race. Tron: Ares is just a loud, dull 3rd entry and makes for a very strange trilogy of films.

It's spooky season! I thought it would be fun to look back on 2025 so far, leading up to Halloween. I watched 26 horror films in 2025 (so far) and rank them from worst to best. Giving you recommendations of which movies to watch this Halloween and which to avoid.

I ranked the 9 new movies I saw in September 2025 from Worst to best! Big movies like One Battle After Another have obviously sparked political debate while simple comedies like Spinal Tap II failed to even leave a dent in the conversation. The Conjuring Last Rites proved that the Warrens are still a hot commodity and for some reason Ice Road got a movie sequel on Netflix. HIM was a big dud and The Smashing Machine left little impact in the story department. Overall, September was a rough one for movies.

Good Boy Movie Review - Indy the dog is having a ruff couple of weeks. He is seeing ghosts in a haunted house and there is no Bruce Willis around to chat about it. I found the atmosphere and the gimmick to be pretty solid but even at the short runtime, it felt very padded out and a bit lacking. Not a bad watch, just nothing too great, either. The dog was fantastic though!

A24's The Smashing Machine Movie Review - Dwayne Johnson tries his hand at some actual acting in this true story about UFC champion, Mark Kerr. Emily Blunt joins him for some outside the ring fights. I went into The Smashing Machine, hoping for another powerful story like we got with A24's other film, The Iron Claw. Unfortunately, this is a much simpler, less emotional story. Not a bad movie but it left something to be desired. Especially, with a 2 hour runtime.

The Strangers: Chapter 2 Movie Review - The dumb continues with The Strangers: Chapter 2. The movie starts up right after the events of the first film. The 90 minute movie offers almost nothing in terms of plot progression. A little backstory for the villains and nothing more. The cat-and-mouse approach has already run very thin and I can't comprehend how The Strangers was given a full trilogy for such a lame concept.
