This is the new 2025 version, not the 2010 film, which I actually haven’t seen. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie, from the animation to the story to the ending. It’s definitely geared toward kids, but adults can still take real pleasure in watching it. " On the rugged isle of Berk, a Viking boy named Hiccup defies centuries of tradition by befriending a dragon named Toothless. However, when an ancient threat emerges that endangers both species, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader."

After really loving the first film, I felt this sequel fell a bit short, though it was still entertaining overall. The back half of the movie is what really kept me engaged, as the beginning was a little tough to get through " Two decades after an identity crisis, Anna's blended family faces new challenges. Tess and Anna discover their past may be repeating with the next generation."

I watched this on the plane. I wasn't too impressed. They should have stuck with just the orignal. " Two decades after an identity crisis, Anna's blended family faces new challenges. Tess and Anna discover their past may be repeating with the next generation."

Wow, I really loved the plot of this movie, but at the same time, I found myself wanting so much more from it. The cast was great, but something about the filming style made the whole thing feel a bit… odd. The ending was strong and really delivered, but the middle section could have used more color, energy, and action to keep the momentum going. I think they delved into the odd concept a bit too much and it showed in the way it was filmed and the dialogue. " Two conspiracy-obsessed men kidnap the CEO of a major company when they become convinced that she's an alien who wants to destroy Earth."

I thought this second film was good, but not quite as strong as the first. For someone who doesn’t know much about The Wizard of Oz , the first movie provided a lot of essential setup and world-building that I really enjoyed. This one, on the other hand, focused much more on the action and execution, and I found myself feeling a bit bored at times in the theater. I also preferred the songs in the first film . " Now demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba lives in exile in the Ozian forest, while Glinda resides at the palace in Emerald City, reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, she'll need to reunite with Glinda to transform herself, and all of Oz, for good."

This new comedy-drama leans much more heavily into drama than comedy. The acting is top-tier, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman delivering outstanding performances in the lead roles. While the plot wasn’t my favorite, largely because the story is intentionally uncomfortable to watch, it does highlight just how effective the acting is. The film’s cynical tone made it difficult for me to enjoy, which is why I ended up giving it a lower score, but there’s no denying that the performances and dialogue are exceptional. " Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Theo and Ivy: successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. However, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentments soon emerge when Theo's career nosedives and Ivy's own ambitions take off."

I wasn’t a fan of this Fantastic Four movie, even though I really liked the cast. Somehow I found myself bored when it felt like I shouldn’t be. The cast did what they could, but the dialogue was pretty plain and the pacing felt slow. I’m glad I finally watched it, but overall, it just didn’t work for me. " Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing face their most daunting challenge yet as they defend Earth from Galactus and Silver Surfer."

This new Channing Tatum film is marketed as a comedy, but it’s much more of a fast-paced drama/crime story. I enjoyed the plot, though it started to feel a bit stretched after a while, and some of the suspense lingered longer than necessary. The ending is a mix of good and bad, not exactly what you hope for, but it does deliver a strong monologue. It ’s pretty wild that this is based on a true story, which automatically adds an extra layer of intrigue. " After escaping from prison, former soldier and professional thief Jeffrey Manchester finds a hideout inside a Toys "R" Us, surviving undetected for months while planning his next move. However, when Jeffrey falls for a divorced mom, his double life starts to unravel, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat and mouse as his past closes in."

Hard to believe I watched this film since it's not something I ever go for, but it surpassed my expectations. It had a good plot and storyline, I'm just not a fan of Anime. Solid music and I like how music was incoporated to the plot. " When K-pop superstars Rumi, Mira and Zoey aren't selling out stadiums or topping the Billboard charts, they're moonlighting as demon hunters to protect their fans from ever-present supernatural danger."

A star-studded cast featuring Aziz Ansari, Keke Palmer, Seth Rogen, Keanu Reeves, and Sandra Oh. I enjoyed the film overall, but Keanu Reeves felt like a weak link. His character and performance didn’t quite fit the tone. Everyone else delivered solid performances, with Aziz Ansari especially carrying much of the film’s weight. It’s worth a watch if you’re drawn in by the cast or the premise, which is what hooked me, but it’s not the kind of movie that will stick with you a year from now. " A well-meaning but inept angel named Gabriel meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker and a wealthy venture capitalist."

Almost made my recommendations list, but something about this film felt just a bit undercooked. The production could have been tighter, and the directing didn’t quite hit that A+ mark. I’m also not fully on board the Austin Butler hype train like many others seem to be. That said, it’s a solid film that kept my attention throughout. I just wish it had been executed with a bit more finesse. " When his punk-rock neighbour asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, New York City bartender Hank Thompson suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters who all want a piece of him."

This French-language film is quietly captivating. It feels as though you're watching real life unfold, like you're peering over someone’s shoulder as they navigate everyday struggles. The story follows Souleymane, "an asylum-seeking cyclist who delivers meals in Paris. With only two days to prepare for a crucial interview that will determine whether he’ll receive a residence permit". He faces mounting stress, exhaustion, and uncertainty.
