Song Sung Blue: Good Times, Hard Times, and Songs That Stick
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Song Sung Blue (2025) Craig Brewer Just kidding about the “last theater visit of 2025” thing from before! With an abundance of time in Kansas City before the Roos basketball game this evening, half of our group ventured to Screenland in Kansas City (by the way, one of the coolest theaters I’ve ever been to, and with a great chicken bacon grilled cheese to boot!) to…

Marty Supreme: Chasing and Catching Greatness
Marty Supreme (2025) Josh Safdie As evidenced by its mentioning in my Anaconda review, I was absolutely stoked to make Marty Supreme my final theater visit of 2025, and I was only a bit worried that my uber-high expectations may not be completely met. While I haven’t decided on a rating for this film at the start of my review, I do know that Marty Supreme definitely met my expectations, and it’s easily one of the…

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…

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…
