Five Nights at Freddy’s 2: If Chuck E. Cheese Didn’t Have a Soul
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (2025) Emma Tammi Most of the movies that I want to see over my Christmas break come out on or after Christmas, so this weekend is kind of bare. Given that, it makes sense that Morgan and I tagged along with Abby and her friends to see Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 tonight, even though I dragged it through the mud in my Ella McCay review. Equally fortunately and…

Avatar: Fire and Ash: A Dazzling Retread
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) James Cameron Story time! I was originally going to go to my local Regal to see Avatar: Fire and Ash, but Reddit convinced me to see it in IMAX 3D. Then I changed my showtime from 6:15 to 2:00 because I got out of school early, only to have the movie start, get one minute in, and then have the screen malfunction…

David: Getting Closer to Godliness
David (2025) Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes In an effort to take the pressure off of my fantasy football team on this playoff Sunday, I headed to the theater for an early screening of David, which I’ve had on my list for a while if only out of desperate interest. I’m not a big Angel Studios fan, but with the studio hyping it up so hard and believing it could take…

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…

Hamnet: To Be Sad or To Be Very Sad
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Hamnet (2025) Chloé Zhao After a quick Chipotle break in the car and Morgan being added to the watch party, I ventured back into the same auditorium (not the same seat, though; I moved from E8 all the way to E7—Morgan sat in E8) for Hamnet, which I’ve been getting excited for for weeks. Fortunately, the film was just about as good and absolutely heartbreaking as I…

Sentimental Value: There Were Never Such Devoted Sisters
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Sentimental Value (2025) Joachim Trier Am I a little bit cuckoo for scheduling a 9:35am showing of Sentimental Value ahead of my 12:40pm showing of Hamnet at the same theater? Yes, but that’s not my fault; if Cinemark had offered reasonable times to see this film, I would’ve gone at a reasonable time, but alas. I’ve gotten behind on my international films this year, so I was glad to take…

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…

Zootopia 2: The Film Bad Guys 2 Told You Not to Worry About
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Zootopia 2 (2025) Jared Bush and Byron Howard After an insanely long and treacherous day of travel back to Fort Worth, I was ready to sit back and relax in my happy place and finally take in a great animated movie in 2025. Thankfully, that’s exactly what happened, and I was more delighted than I thought I’d be by Zootopia 2. I didn’t watch Zootopia for the first time until…
