I decided I would take it easy with this next blog. With my last blog describing a busy time in my life and the one before that showcasing some pretty dark films, it's only fair to put out something easier to read. Less words. Lighter, fewer thoughts. Just movies. These are some films I would just label as "correct." It isn't controversial about saying these are 5 out of 5s. They are just amazing. Plain and simple. I am going to attempt to not make this list not too boring

A new favorites list! It has been a while since I have returned to this blog topic that is supposed to be reoccurring.

Supergirl and Mental Health At the end of James Gunn's Superman, everyone got the impression that Supergirl was gonna be a little messy, chaotic, but a whole lot of fun. Upon watching the movie it

The 2025 Oscars had a lot of controversies, to say the least. The most striking being the inclusion of work assisted by AI, specifically The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez.

There are around 40,000 screens in movie theaters across the U.S. today. Movie theaters have to play something on them to earn money, but why does it feel like the movies featured are always from IP (intellectual property)? Well, because they usually are. As of writing, when I look at my local movie theaters and the available wide-release films, eleven films come from IP.
