Spider-Man swings back into the MCU with Brand New Day, kicking off a bold new chapter that feels darker, more mature, and visually inspired by the comics. Does the fresh direction live up to the hype? Here's my spoiler-free review.

Movie Reviews: The Bride! & They Will Kill You
This week's double feature couldn't be more different. The Bride! aims high with its gothic, artistic take on Frankenstein but left me wanting more, while They Will Kill You embraces its bloody, over-the-top survival horror roots and delivers a fun, entertaining ride despite its obvious Ready or Not comparisons. Here are my spoiler-free thoughts on both films.

Movie Review: The Odyssey
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is everything I wanted from a blockbuster and more. Shot entirely in IMAX 70mm, this breathtaking adaptation of Homer's classic delivers spectacular visuals, an emotional adventure, and one of the best cinematic experiences of 2026. Here's why I think it's a flawless 10/10.

Movie Review: Evil Dead Burn
Evil Dead Burn delivers everything fans expect from the franchise—gallons of gore, terrifying Deadites, and stylish horror. While it doesn't surpass the original or Evil Dead Rise in my rankings, its stunning cinematography and relentless brutality make it a worthy addition to the legendary horror series.

Movie Reviews: Over Your Dead Body & Pretty Lethal
A troupe of ballerinas fighting for survival against ruthless criminals sounds ridiculous on paper, but Pretty Lethal somehow makes it work. While the movie occasionally stumbles with its ballet-action gimmick and underuses Uma Thurman, it's still a fun, gory, and entertaining thriller led by a charismatic cast.

Movie Review: Supergirl
Supergirl takes the DC Universe into cosmic territory with an entertaining revenge-fueled adventure led by Milly Alcock. While the film delivers enough action and humor to satisfy casual audiences, its heavy Guardians of the Galaxy influences and messy action sequences prevent it from truly soaring.
