Opus (2025)

B
“I think Opus does ask a question about competing ideas for society and tribalism centered around charismatic geniuses made by our society’s marketing. Does it answer this question – no, and I don’t think it can” –

“Captain America: Brave New World surprised me by not being what I thought it would be. It kept the history of Captain America films as the best subseries in the MCU by holding to likable stories and strong, relatable themes to give a good superhero movie” –

“Love Hurts isn’t this amazing piece of high cinema, and it’s not trying to be at all. Still, it is filled with entertaining actors giving fun performances and fantastic action work that takes the right amount of time for anyone’s attention span.” –

Dog Man (2025)

“Dog Man is going to be a solid hit and one of the best movies purely made for children I’ve seen in a long time. It’s not about adults at all. This is for the Dog Man lovers, and it hits it out of the park.” –

“Wolf Man was an uninteresting and lacking monster movie and it starts the year off weakly. If you want to see an interesting monster movie, go find where Cuckoo is streaming and watch that banger.” –

“This movie does skew a bit towards “dad movie,” but with most of the awards bait films & family films being the main thing in the theater, a movie with stealing diamonds, driving fast cars to escape, & shooting big guns with the Italian Mafia on top” –

“While The Brutalist is a film that is beautifully shot and has impressive acting, it’s a film I think people should see and decide on their own. It’s just a film that I don’t know if it’s a film I’m ever going to feel one hundred percent comfortable with.” –
