Send Help: Raimi and McAdams Thriving on Survival
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Send Help (2026) Sam Raimi As I’ve become a bigger cinephile over the last few years, I’ve had a couple instances where I accidentally start an actor or director’s filmography in a really unconventional place. That’s what’s happened with Sam Raimi and Send Help today. I haven’t seen any of the original Spider-Man trilogy (I’m so sorry), nor have I seen any of the Evil Dead movies, so Send Help became the first Sam…

No Other Choice: A Thriller Making All the Right Choices
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. No Other Choice (2025) Park Chan-wook To my surprise, Gabe and I seem to be making a habit of seeing movies together over the weekend. Our venture to Grapevine for No Other Choice was our second movie in as many weekends, and I think this may be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. As the cinephile in the friend group, I feel it my duty to take my…

Is This Thing On?: If We’re Asking About Bradley Cooper, Then Yes, He Is
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Is This Thing On? (2025) Bradley Cooper After a long holiday hiatus, my return to the theater—the Fossil Creek Regal, to be specific—was glorious. I brought Gabe along this time to see Is This Thing On?, a movie I’ve found myself getting more excited for since I first heard about it. Especially after rewatching and loving A Star Is Born earlier in the week, I was pumped for a…

Anaconda (2025): Low Stakes, Big Snake, Good Remake
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Anaconda (2025) Tom Gormican Being the perfectionist I am, I’ve kept a close eye on my Letterboxd statistics for 2025, and I currently have 248 films in my diary. With Marty Supreme on the docket for tomorrow, I needed to get something else in to make it number 250, so Anaconda at 9:45pm it was. I wanted to see this movie anyway, so even though the circumstances weren’t ideal, I…

Ella McCay: An Old-Fashioned Revival Dead on Arrival
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Ella McCay (2025) James L. Brooks Anytime Morgan goes out of town for the weekend, one of my first thoughts is, “how many movies can I go see?”. Unfortunately, this weekend doesn’t hold a lot of movies that Morgan wouldn’t also want to see, so Ella McCay won tonight in a fierce battle with Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. As much as I didn’t like the first Five Nights at…

Jay Kelly: Can I Watch Again? I’d Like Another One
Jay Kelly (2025) Noah Baumbach Boy, have I missed Serious Sandler! Jay Kelly has been on my list since before I saw the first trailer thanks to Adam Sandler starring and Noah Baumbach directing, but that first trailer had me believing that this could be special. Then the reviews started rolling in, and I got nervous. I’m happy to report, though, that I personally had my worries proven wrong and was spellbound…

Rental Family: Fake Families, Real Feels
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Rental Family (2025) Hikari What a finish to Thanksgiving break! I have never watched so many consecutive new releases as I did over the last week, but it’s been so fun. Rental Family was a film that caught my attention from its first trailer—I have a thing for films that highlight people’s goodness and humanity—and the product absolutely delivered. I have yet to see Brendan Fraser’s Oscar-winning turn in The…

A Very Jonas Christmas Movie: An Inauspicious Start to the Season
A Very Jonas Christmas Movie (2025) Jessica Yu When I first saw the announcement for this movie, I told myself I wouldn’t watch it, but here we are. Not only did I watch A Very Jonas Christmas Movie—Morgan, Abby, and I made it our first Christmas movie of the season. Unsurprisingly, this movie was underwhelming given its Disney Channel-level budget and writing. Even though I love the Jonas Brothers, their acting skills…
