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…

Oh. What. Fun.: The Socks-In-Your-Stocking of Christmas Movies
Oh. What. Fun. (2025) Michael Showalter After wasting our time with Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 last night, Morgan lamented that we should’ve spent our time in the days before Christmas watching a Christmas movie. Luckily for Morgan, we spent our time more wisely tonight with Oh. What. Fun., and honestly, yeah, it was kinda fun. While the beats for the most part were nothing new, what made this movie enjoyable was its cast.…

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…

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…

Eternity: The Good Place Plays This Movie
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Eternity (2025) David Freyne My Thanksgiving Break has become surprisingly full with travel and weddings and dinners, so I’m having to puzzle together all of these movies I want to see as well. Eternity was one that I was plenty interested but Morgan wasn’t, so today—when Morgan’s out shopping in Fredericksburg—was the perfect day to go see it. Predictably, it crushed. What interested me most about Eternity when I first heard…

Wicked: For Good: Changes and Being Changed
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Wicked: For Good (2025) Jon M. Chu After the longest year of my musical theater-loving life, it was finally time to settle in for Wicked: For Good and have my mind blown (hopefully). Knowing the musical very well already, I knew to expect a darker narrative, less humor, and fewer iconic songs, and while all of those things were present, the finale to one of the most anticipated…

The Assessment: Parents and Normalcy in Short Supply
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Assessment (2024) Fleur Fortuné For the last night of the Estes Park trip, we wanted to end on a banger, so we sidestepped Happy Gilmore 2 for The Assessment, which was undoubtedly more memorable. The jury is still out on whether that’s a good thing; Sammy and Abby logged their displeasure on Letterboxd, I’m sure my parents would’ve done the same if they had the app, but Morgan…

Lilo & Stitch (2025): Shades of the Original, But Ohana Left Behind
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Lilo & Stitch (2025) Dean Fleischer Camp I don’t remember the last time there was this much hype for a Disney live-action remake (the box office numbers so far have certainly backed it up), and I gotta be honest. I was sold on Lilo & Stitch thanks to that amazing trailer. As the reviews (and spoiler-full Reels) came in, I grew more and more nervous about the film,…
