PLOT: Matt Hagan (Tom Rhys
Harries) handsome actor who is nominated for an Oscar is terribly disfigured by
a mobster Markos Szabo (David Denick) sleeping with his girlfriend. He goes to Dr. Caitlyn Carr (Naomi Ackie) who
gives experimental drug with even more horrific results.
WHAT IS
RIGHT: Tom Rhys Harries is great as Matt
Hagan! He came from poverty to Hollywood
then slowly becomes a monster! Naomi
Ackie is good as Dr. Corr to help Matt.
She is smart and compassionate.
David Denick as Markos Szabo is perfect as gleefully wicked as a
gangster leader. It is bloody with
cringe moments!
WHAT IS WRONG: It is not the
original story of the character and NO Batman.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YESSS!!! It is gory and good. It has romance, tragedy and vengeance!
HOPE
HORROR
PLOT: Hope Harbor is in a small town in South
Korea where strange things are happening and starts with a death of a cow.
WHAT IS
RIGHT: The cast is mostly Korean. Special effects are good it is funny and
action packed!
WHAT IS
WRONG: The movie is long and despite
that they may make a sequel. Little
spoiler: The English cast are the
aliens!
SHOULD YOU
WATCH: Only if you want to see something
different than the standard Hollywood horror/action movie.
PLOT: Odysseus (Matt Damon) has been away many
years from home after the destruction of Troy.
WHAT IS RIGHT: It is an epic! The acting is fantastic! Especially from Matt Damon Robert Patterson
is great as the evil Antinous. He is
just amazing! He character has a back story. John Leguizamo is excellent as Eumaeous, a
blind sheep herder.
WHAT IS WRONG- The film is
based on the epic poem by Homer but I am sure there may have changed a few
things.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES!!! The movie is GOOD! Acting, adventure
and magic and it all comes together.
SPIDERMAN:
BRAND NEW DAY
ACTION/SUPERHERO
PLOT: Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is still fighting
crime but he feels alone for no one knows him especially the girl he loves and
his friend. He is stressed and a new
threat he must fight to save the city with the help of the Punisher!
WHAT IS RIGHT: The amazing
stunts and the action! The movie tells the good and the bad about being a superhero. The Punisher played by Jon Bernthal is great
as for Spiderman’s sidekick and comic relief!
WHAT IS WRONG: Many characters are in the film and if you don’t
know it can be confusing.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YESSSS!
Best superhero movie made this YEAR!!!

will enjoy this one.
MORTAL KOMBAT 2 2026
ACTION/FANTASY
PLOT: A sequel to Mortal Kombat in 2021 Fighters
from earth and other realm must fight to save their world.
WHAT IS GOOD: The
fight scenes and Karl Urban (The Boys, Dred) as Johnny Cage, an experience
fighter who is arrogant and funny as a macho action star passed his prime.
WHAT IS BAD: Very
violent, and curses a lot.
SHOULD YOU WATCH:
If you are a fan of this franchise then YES!
THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU
ADVENTURE/FANTASY
PLOT: The Mandalorian and Grogu have a mission that
puts the two in danger.
WHAT IS
RIGHT: Special effects are amazing and
the action is great! Comic moments with
the Mandalorian and adorable Grogu are very good.
WHAT IS

show of the cancel series. If you never

OBSESSION
HORROR
PLOT: Baron ‘ Bear Bailey’
(Michael Johnston) has a crush on Nikki (Indie Navarette) but is too shy to
tell her. Baron goes into a occult shop
and picks a One Wish Willow and makes a wish for to love him. She does in the
worse way.
WHAT IS RIGHT: The two
leads-especially Indie Navarette. She
plays a nice but tough girl but when she is possessed she is funny and
frightening! I do hope she is not type
cast as a crazy babe. It is a cautionary tale of be careful what you wish for
just might get it.
WHAT IS WRONG: It is a slow-burn
but the jump-scares are scary!
SHOULD YOU WATCH: Absolutely
YES! Made for about a million dollars it
shows you don’t need tons of money to make a good movie!
MASTERS OF THE
UNIVERSE 2026
PLOT: Adam
(Nicholas Galitzine) is on earth searching for his magical sword that
transforms him into He-Man.
WHAT IS RIGHT:
They put money in this film unlike the movie in 1987. Galitzine is fantastic as Adam not so much as
He-Man. James Purefory as Adam’s father King Randor is great if only in the
movie briefly. A fine actor as well as
Idris Elba as Duncan /Man of Arms protector of King Randor and family. Camila Mendes as Teela is good as a female
fighter. Jared Leto as Skeletor is over
the top! He is creepy and comical. Stay
around for the post credits.
WHAT IS WRONG: The
movie is using the cartoon as well as the movie with the same name in
1987! There is a WTF sequence in the
film which is jaw-dropping! It is a
jokey in parts which kills the tension.
SHOULD YOU WATCH:
MAYBE. If you enjoyed the
cartoon series you might enjoy it. It
has the characters many people remember and the special effects are great.
BACKROOMS
HORROR
PLOT:
Clark(Chiwetel Ejiofor) is a salesman at a furniture store who has found
many rooms that could be from another
world.
WHAT IS RIGHT:
Actor Ejiofor who is a great actor has been in Dr. Strange and many
other blockbusters but he shines as a man frustrated with his job and
life. The directing and writing is
strange but that is what makes this film so interesting.
WHAT IS WRONG: The
ending. You really don’t know what is
going on.
SHOULD YOU WATCH:
If you want something different than sequels of Hollywood big movies
this is the movie for you! Scary, odd and very, very different.
CITIZEN VIGLANTE
ACTION
PLOT: Sanders
(Armie Hammer) is ex soldier living in Europe and is killing migrants, judges
even cops for justice among victims.
WHAT IS RIGHT:
Armie Hammer! The actor was in
Man From U.N.C.L.E and was intense but in this film he is even more
INTENSE!!! There is no smile on this man
face! He only has determination and assassination
his mind!
WHAT IS WRONG: The
film is direction by Uwe Boll. They say
he is the foreign Ed Wood. He makes bad
movies but he produces them as well.
Many may think the film is racist for he kills immigrants but he kills
everybody!
SHOULD YOU WATCH: If you like exploitation the film gives it to
you! It is action packed, sleazy and
bloody!
SUPERGIRL 2026
ACTION/ADVENTURE
PLOT: Kara
Zor-El/Supergirl(Milly Alock) helps a
teenager Ruthye(Eve Ridley) to get revenge on Krem (Matthias Schoenaerts) leader of Bringands who killed her parents.
WHAT IS RIGHT:
Alock is good in spots but the star belongs to Lobo (Jason Momoa)! He is a bounty hunter and assassin. He seems to enjoy all the wrong things he is
doing! He NEEDS a solo movie.
WHAT IS WRONG:
Many people will not like this version of Supergirl because she swears,
drink and doesn’t care about humanity! Her
back story tells why. Krem played by Schoenaerts
is NOT a memorable villain! He eats a
lot and looks annoyed and kills people.
SHOULD YOU WATCH:
If you interested in this new Supergirl you will find it very different
indeed. If not WAIT for streaming.

the Thorns and by odd events gets on the team.
WHAT IS RIGHT: The voice cast which includes Gabrielle Union
as Jett, Jenifer Lewis is Flo, a warthog owner of the team the Thorns and Mane
Attraction an arrogant horse, Aaron Pierre.
They match their animal characters very well.

SCREAM 7
HORROR/MYSTERY
PLOT:
Sidney (Neve Campbell) is trying to raise her daughter but slasher
Ghostface is following her AGAIN! This time
he wants her daughter Tatum!
WHAT IS RIGHT: Creative kills and franchise is so popular it
has its own tropes! Small spoiler: It is
always 2 people. Campbell is good as
Sidney trying to raise a family and be normal but she has to get tough every
time! Courteney Cox is great as Gale, a
reporter who is friends with Sidney but she is also a bitch! Jasmin Savoy Brown is a stand-out as Gale’s
assistant Mindy. She is just like Gale
just younger!
WHAT IS WRONG: You have seen it all before and you probably
figure out who the killer is and Sidney survives! Are we going to see Scream in Space soon?
SHOULD YOU WATCH: Do you like Scream movies? If a fan you are going to watch it because
the main characters are funny and tough!
PLOT: Ben an adorable, lovable chimp gets rabies and becomes violent.
WHAT IS RIGHT: The kills are
very gruesome!
WHAT IS WRONG: You have seen
this story before. The young people want
to have a party and the monkey goes nuts.
Only in the movies when an animal infected by rabies they become smart!
You want the young people to survive but they do stupid things.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: They kills are
very good but should be ON DEMAND.
WUTHERING HEIGHTS
ROMANTIC DRAMA
PLOT: Another version of Emily Bronte’s
book of the same name. Heathcliff and
Cathy have a passionate, toxic love.
WHAT IS RIGHT: It is visually
dazzling! Vivid colors and lovely country
sides. Owen Cooper and Charlotte
Mellington as young Heathcliff and Cathy are fantastic! Talented actors to look
for in the future.
WHAT IS WRONG: Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the grown
Cathy and Heathcliff are very attractive actors playing the most horrible
people you can imagine! It is hard to
feel sympathy for them and what they do to other people.
SHOULD YOU WATCH:
If you have never read the novel or seen the movies it might entertain
you. This movie is fan fiction for many
things don’t happen in the novel. Those
who read the novel will be in shock! If
you can wait-WAIT!
ZOOTOPIA #2 2025
ANIMATION

AVATAR #3 FIRE AND ASH 2025
FANTASY/ ADVENTURE
PLOT: Jake and his family are sadden
by the death of their son but new threats are coming that include Jake’s enemy.
WHAT IS GOOD: The visual effects
are AMAZING as always. The evil commander
Quartich (Stephen Lang) is GREAT and Varang(Oona Chaplin) is equally menacing
as leader of her clan who will kill anyone in her quest for power. The two are the Bonnie and Clyde of
Avatar. The action scenes are fantastic.
WHAT IS WRONG: There are soap
opera elements are there but it does help the story.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: OH YES! If you are a fan of this movie franchise you
will enjoy it.
SPECIAL NOTE: I wish director
James Cameron would make a superhero movie for he knows how to make an epic,
exciting film many people would watch.
HAMNET
DRAMA
PLOT: Based on the novel by
Maggie O’ Farrell the writer William Shakespeare had a wife and three children
and the son named Hamnet died and he wrote the play Hamlet.
WHAT IS RIGHT: Paul Mescal (Gladiator
2) is Shakespeare and he is good but it is Jessie Buckley as Agnes,
Shakespeare’s wife that is amazing.
Giving child birth alone or with help she shows the agony of it! The film is slow and sober. The ending is closure than a happy ending.
WHAT IS WRONG: It is a novel
so much might not be true but could be.
The film may add things that might not have happened.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES! It is a film about grief and how people deal
with it even in olden times.

BEST ACTRESS
BEST DIRCTOR
FRANKENSTEIN
HORROR
PLOT: Another version of the
novel of Mary Shelly’s novel of an obsessed doctor creating parts of deceased men
to creature new life.
WHAT IS GOOD: The acting of
Oscar Isaac as Dr Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the “creature”! It is like a father and son relationship! Frankenstein made something alive that is
dead and he is not proud of it. The
“creature” is upset because he came into the world and is hated even by his creator. It is creepy.
It is very elaborate. It is a sad
tale of man reaching for greatness at what cost!
WHAT IS WRONG: How did
Frankenstein become so strong from dead men?
The monster is not as great as the Boris Karloff version. It should be better because of AI!
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES! Especially if you like horror and great
acting.
NOMININATED FOR:
BEST PICTURE
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
TRAIN DREAMS
PERIOD DRAMA
PLOT: Robert Grainier is an
orphan who lived 80 years and took odd jobs while the world changed around him.
WHAT IS GOOD: Joel Edgerton! He plays Robert in a low key manner. He does his job, goes home to his wife and
child. That’s it! He does what most people do. He sees things doesn’t understand why but
does his best in the world he lives in.
You root for him because that’s what most people do. William H. Macy as Arn, an older explosive
expert is comic relief and he does it well.
WHAT IS WRONG: It is slow moving
but that is the point-like life. It is
not exciting like an action movie.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES! It is a character study about a man with
life, loss and change.
NOMINATIONS FOR:

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
SECRET AGENT
DRAMA
PLOT: A tech
expert with a mysterious past return to his home town but there is more danger
ahead in Brazil.
WHAT IS GOOD:
Wagner Moura as the tech expert who wants a peaceful life. He sees corruption with his sad eyes and
wants to remain peaceful.
WHAT IS
WRONG: This is a foreign films and they
are different than American films. This
one is no different. It takes a long
while to get going! You also think with
a title like this it is action packed, gadgets and pretty girls. Not this movie. It is slow and sober.
SHOULD YOU
WATCH: It is good but you must have
patience!

MUSICAL DRAMA
PLOT: Cover singers Mike
Sardina (Lighting) and his wife Claire Stengi(Thunder love to sing Neil Diamond
songs at various clubs. The duo is very
close to stardom but tragedy gets in the way.
It is based on a true story.
WHAT IS RIGHT: Hugh Jackman is great as Mike who once was a
soldier and an alcoholic and it is music that saved him. He is charismatic but
hurting. He is not nominated for BEST ACTOR but he should have been. Kate Hudson as Claire is nominated and she is
wonderful as well. She was a fun-loving
woman then something bad happens.
WHAT IS WRONG: Their story is so
fantastic you think it was fiction but it is not!
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES! If you
like Neil Diamond songs-some I never heard of and the good pairing of Jackman
and Hudson is worth the watch.

THRILLER/SCI-FI
PLOT: Michelle Fuller (Emma
Stone) is CEO of a drug company and Teddy Gatz (Jesse Plemons), a conspiracy theorist
and beekeeper and his autistic cousin Don(Aiden Debis) kidnap her thinking she
is an alien.
NOTE: The title means ancient
Greeks folk tale that bees would generate from a dead cow. If you watch the film . It might make sense, might not.
WHAT IS RIGHT: Emma Stone is
fantastic as the CEO Michelle Fuller.
She is driven, aggressive and scheming.
You don’t know how far she will go to escape. Jesse Plemons
is intense as Teddy obsessed that she is really an alien. Don, his cousin doesn’t believe him but goes
along because it is his cousin and he admires him.
WHAT IS WRONG: The director
Yorgos Lathimos is a talented and twisted director! His films are bizarre to say the least! Watch the movies, The Favorite 2018 and Poor
Things 2023. This film is very violent
and strange.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: The ideas are
good and Emma Stone is very good but it is a outrageous film but to me better
than Poor Things.
F1
SPORTS DRAMA
PLOT:
Aging race car driver Sonny Hayes gets to drive again and train a new
comer Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) and has a romance with an attractive, smart
technical director Kate McKenna (Kerry Condon).
WHAT IS RIGHT: The race car driving scenes! You feel you’re inside the car with them
taking the risk! Javier Bardem who is
the APXGP owner who needs Sonny’s help is good and dresses very well. Damon
Idris as Joshua who is very confident younger race car driver. Sarah Miles is great as Bernadette Joshua’s
smart, protective mom.
WHAT IS WRONG: You know the experience older driver helping
the cocky newcomer yet it NEVER gets old.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES!
If you like race car driving, Brad Pitt along with a good cast you will
enjoy this movie.

whatever it takes to achieve his goal no matter what the cost. He is no hero to cheer for but you watch to
see if he is successful. Odessa A’zion
is very good as a married woman who is having an affair with Marty. Gwyneth Paltrow is Kay Stone an actress
married to a very rich man who is horny as hell!
WHAT IS WRONG: When they do biography movies many things
don’t really happen just to intensify
the film. You if are interested
you read more about the person. The film
could have been cut a slightly.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: If you like Charlamet and the rest of the
cast-YES.

His partner Richard Rogers who team up later with Oscar Hammerstein to
create more outstanding songs.
WHAT IS RIGHT: Ethan Hawk is fantastic as Lorenz Hart! He is talented but he drank too much, erratic
and could be gay. The setting is in Sadri’s
Restaurant which was popular in the 40s after Hart watch Oklahoma. He is a sad, creative person. He wants to be better but his bad habits get
in the way. Bobby Cannavale as Eddie,
the bartender is very funny. He is a

WHAT IS WRONG: It is not wrong but the film is like classic
Hollywood. You find out much about the
character through dialogue. It is like a
play on film.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES!
If you like Lorenz Hart, his songs and Hawke’s performance a MUST SEE!
