28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)

My expectations were low for this sequel, but it was amazing and brought the franchise to a new level. It shows a sadistic, satanic group called the Fingers that are even worse than the zombies. Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell were fantastic. It’s incredibly graphic though—definitely an adult-only movie. A 9/10 horror that I can rewatch and would recommend to fans of the genre. Read my full ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ review →

Send Help (2026)

The movie started in a heartbreaking way, showing Linda's unfair treatment at the office. But when she and her boss Bradley crash on a deserted island, the power dynamic completely flips. It starts funny, turns into a psychological thriller, and has a huge plot twist that I loved and didn't see coming. The scenes about office injustice really hit home. A brilliant, surprising movie I'd rewatch. My rating is 9/10. Read my full ‘Send Help’ review →

Hamnet (2025)

Didn’t expect to be so moved—almost cried in final act. Loved imagining how Shakespeare turned grief over son Hamnet’s death into Hamlet (fiction but powerful). Painful side of motherhood, losing a child, Agnes’s strength heartbreaking. Jessie Buckley amazing. First act sweet love story, second slower (wondered where going) but necessary, third pure gold on stage. Themes of grief turning to art, family, loss. Tiny issue: middle act slow/confusing at first, but worth it. Beautiful, emotional historical fiction. 9/10. Read my full ‘Hamnet’ review →

Nuremberg (2025)

I loved this movie. It's a great historical drama that teaches us the disturbing lessons of WWII and the Nuremberg trials, so we never forget. Russell Crowe was amazing as Göring, and I didn't even know he was in it! Two scenes really got me: the argument about "collateral damage" and the final warning about power-hungry people in America, which feels so true today. My only small issue is I wanted to see more of the other Nazis and the trial itself. But still, a solid 9/10 that made me want to watch more movies like it. Read my full ‘Nuremberg’ review →

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle (2025)

This is an outstanding anime film. It’s amazing to see the series finish with a trilogy of movies. The action and visuals are spectacular, but what really stands out is how the story makes you empathize with the villains—like Upper Rank demon Akaza—by showing their tragic pasts. It hooked me from the start. My only tiny issue is the long runtime and having to wait a year for the next part. A solid 9/10. Read my full ‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’ review →

🌟 8 Stars: Highly Recommended – Captivating and Memorable

The Rip (2026)

Sorry, Baby (2025)

I loved this movie's honest vibe and amazing friendship at the start. It gets really sad when the professor assaults her, but the clever section titles were a great touch and even made me smile. Watching her fight through the pain and find strength really stuck with me. It's a tough but good rewatch, and I give it a solid 8/10. Read my full ‘Sorry, Baby’ review →

🌟 7 Stars: Solid Enjoyment – Well-Crafted and Entertaining

The Wrecking Crew (2026)

This action comedy brings two heavyweight stars, Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, together as estranged half-brothers forced to reunite after their father's death. The action is great and delivers what it promises. The comedy is a little less but still enough. It's a very entertaining movie with some slower middle parts, but I loved it. A solid buddy action film I'd rewatch. My rating is 7/10. Read my full ‘The Wrecking Crew’ review →

Anaconda (2025) 

It started like a usual snake movie but became something better. It’s a funny comedy about friends having a midlife crisis and trying to remake the original Anaconda on a low budget in the Amazon. The cast is great and I laughed a lot. It’s also a smart satire on Hollywood being out of ideas and the chaos of filmmaking. I loved the themes of friendship and chasing your dreams. Entertaining and clever. My rating is 7/10. Read my full ‘Anaconda’ review →

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)

This was one of the most anticipated movies of 2025. The visuals are absolutely amazing—that's what people go to see, and it's why it got Oscar nominations for visual effects. But story-wise, it's very weak. It feels like a repeat of the first two movies: Colonel Quaritch is back (again), they're hunting creatures (again), and Jake rallies the clans (again). There's almost no original story. It's beautiful but boring for me. My rating is a 7 out of 10, just for the incredible visual work. Read my full ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ review →
