Tyler Perry's Straw Movie Review - I have watched some good and bad films in 2025 but "Straw" easily wins for the worst movie of the year. This Netflix original is full of overacting, comically 1-dimensional characters, lazy script and overall presentation just completely miss the mark. I spoil the crap out of this movie in the hopes you won't waste your time watching it.

Materialists Movie Review - A24 presents a very basic, normal movie for once, called "Materialists". Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans have a love triangle situation going on, in this new romantic drama. It's been a very long time since we've seen a movie like this and honestly, it was a very pleasant, easy watch. Not too shabby.

How To Train Your Dragon Review - Hiccup and Toothless return to the big screen, like you have kinda already seen them before! Dreamworks tries their hand at the Disney playbook of remaking a beloved property in "live action". How To Train Your Dragon (2025) is basically an HD remaster with all the thrills, emotion and music intact from the original. Just like those remasters though, sometimes things get lost in translation.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning has been in theaters for a few weeks now and it has made an impressive amount of money. Yet, it's far from profitable. The film had a hefty $400 million price tag, which means it needs to make at least $800 million to break even! Tom Cruise still clearly has box office pull but that number is wildly off track. I give my thoughts on this fiasco and how they could have increased theater attendance.

Look out Mad Max: Fury Road! It looks like From The World of John Wick: Ballerina is on pace to dethrone you for the prequel flop award. Ana De Armas stars as the action star, although Keanu Reeves was clearly pulled in because the studio got scared it would bomb without him. Their fears were sound but it's bombing even with him involved. In fact, he might be one of the factors why it's not doing so hot, given his $15 million dollar price tag, to be involved. I give my thoughts on this news and how the "girl with guns" action flicks can avoid this in the future.

Dangerous Animals Movie Review - Jai Courtney plays an unhinged fisherman/killer in Dangerous Animals. A Shudder movie that features an unlikable lead and a small amount of shark kills. It's not a terrible time at the movies but I would wait for streaming before spending your hard earned cash on this silly premise.

Ballerina: From The World of John Wick - Movie Review - Ana De Armas gets to play in the world of John Wick in the first movie spinoff of the popular Wick franchise. Ballerina is not some lame prequel story though. This film goes hard! Ana De Armas proves she can carry the movie alone but unfortunately the studio felt Keanu Reeves was still needed to get people into the theater. His inclusion is ironically the only thing that feels out of place in this new entry. That said, Ballerina was an awesome movie experience and a fitting addition to the John Wick universe.

I rank 31 films featuring law & disoorder. You could classify most of these as mob movies but a few are more in the sub-genre of heist. In either case, most are fantastic, with only a few stinkers. Make sure to check out the other movie critics putting these rankings together!

Lilo & Stitch Movie Review - Well here we are again. Another Disney "live-action" remake is upon us. That was fast. It seems like just yesterday, Snow White was in theaters, taking up screens. Now, for Memorial Day, it's Lilo & Stitch's turn. If you have seen one of these Disney remakes, you've seen them all. Lifeless cash-grabs that only exist to prey on nostalgia and take money. Awesome. Here's my review.

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning Movie Review - Tom Cruise and his team return for the 8th installment to the Mission Impossible franchise. Unfortunately, there aren't enough Tom Cruise stunts in the world to save this slog of a film. The story is long, the script is dumb and the characters just don't seem to be as into it as they once were. Mission: Impossible has been a really fun, solid franchise that unfortunately appears to have finally run out of steam.
