Watch a new action movie that you’re excited to watch in 2025

Ana de Armas is an action star fully capable of carrying the torch left behind by Keanu Reeves. She plays the game and takes advantage of every tool she gets her hands on. No on is safe, not even John Wick.

I've been wanting to rewatch this for a long time. I liking the film, but never felt it lived up to my expectations. It was worth rewatching and see if it was better or worse than I .

Visually stunning from start to finish. Every scene is beautiful. And that may be an issue as a lot of scenes linger just a bit too long. Sometimes the movie lingers on great performances or beautiful shots. Yeah, some scenes could be cleaned up. Back to those performances. Bridges is always a win. But, have to give credit to Erivo and Pullman showing so much depth and skill. Dakota Johnson, on the other hand, continues to disappoint. Her performance is very flat and boring. Thankfully, the rest of the cast showed up to act. And then there's the plot. Several characters with varying motivations and goals all stuck in a single location with an unstoppable forces looming over all of them.

The only contender to Rogue One for being the best Star Wars movie. And they both have a similar look and feel. The fight for survival with the heroes on the run from the start to the end. `

Not a fan of this, but really enjoyed the effects and gore.

Amazing experience to see this on the big screen. Aside from the shit CGI added over the years, this was a perfect movie to see in theaters.

Since its release Rogue One has been my favorite Star Wars film. It was the part of the Star Wars world I always wanted. The film did not disappoint my childhood dreams. And nothing from that stupid Andor show does can change that. Yeah, I didn't love Andor. But, I have a hard time enjoying any series. I didn't need two seasons of a show to get anything more out of this film. This movie is perfect.

60th Academy Awards
Nomination
Best Actor in a ing Role, Morgan Freeman
- Break through role, Morgan Freeman shows his capability and his screen presence. He makes Christopher Reeve shiver in his boots. It is worthy of the win? Not quite. But, it's a wake-up call for anyone not paying attention.

As for the movie? It tackles an interesting subject with a journalist fabricating a story. The consequences of his action take a huge tole on his personal life, career, and those around him. For all the damage caused I don't think the ending does him justice. He's quite the vile blue collar character that tarnishes everything he touches.

The subject of his story gets the chance to see the lime light. The Fast Black is the character to pay attention to as he brings all the charisma and energy to this movie. Never a character to love, but to see him unravel in the end and his true ruthless manner to come to light is something else. He is far from the worse character in movie history, but it's a real shocker to see it from an actor like Morgan Freeman.

Kaitlyn Santa Juana was great as the lead, trying to save her family, and the series. The movie feels fun and energetic. The kills are hilarious and brutal. And while KSJ is a great lead, her ing cast really pulls this all together.

52 Years in 52 Weeks - 2001

Blind watch today, but quickly ed the trailer scenes. And then the end in completely familiar to me. I guess I saw this when it was new on cable, but it still felt fresh today. I only ed parts as they were happening.

As for the movie, it is rather average and standard for a mystery thriller from this era. Benefits are the cast and their performances. The biggest con is the story. It's just unremarkable with no twists or thrills or mystery that matters.

Miss the good ole days when my favorite racecar drivers died every other race. Shame modern racing has changed so much.

- Watch an action film starring Billy Blanks

Stretch to say starring Billy Blanks, but you'll notice him in the background. Jet Li's first US production, I think. It has a familiar Rumble in the Bronx premise, but set in sunny LA. There's also a touch of Karate Kid, which itself is not all that original. Most of the movie is not great with characters bickering with one another and getting their asses kicked. It's not until the final act does the action get good. Also, the YouTube version is mostly in Cantonese. It was a tough watch to get to the good stuff. Could be better with subtitles or a proper dub.

Tom Cruise used this as a blueprint for some of his M:I stunts, right? This is insane, to say the least. I was watching this on a plane ride and even the older lady next to me couldn't keep her eyes off the screen. It's free to watch on YouTube. No excuses!

Watched on Friday May 23, 2025.

- Watched on the largest IMAX screen in the world!
- Probably the greatest action scene in movie history, and not a single gun shot, not a single death, no explosions, or chases. Just a thrilling, beautiful, tense heist!
- Tom Cruise might be done with playing Ethan Hunt, but he could keep going for years to come.
- Hayley Atwell is not close to being the best Hunt Girl and never got much to do in the film.
- On the otherhand, Pom Klementieff is a badass killer that got to have some fun with the rest of the team and kick a ton of ass.
- Simon Pegg, I hope if there is every a reboot he is the leader of the IMF. It's his team now.
- Greg Tarzan Davis is a great addition to the team.
- Tramell Tillman, first time seeing him in anything, was strong and hilarious in his short appearance. One of my favorite side characters from this whole series.
- I loved seeing Rolf Saxon return. It was funny seeing the delayed excitement when the theater recognized him. And I am glad they gave his character meaning, heart, and truly useful to the success of the mission.
- Angela Bassett and most of her characters scenes add very little to the movie. There are enough stakes at hand with a deep enough understanding of the destruction coming from within the team's dynamic that I felt additional scenes, characters, and runtime was not needed.
- When Tom Cruise is hanging off a bi-plane for 20 minutes, it real obvious when the other character is being filmed on a green screen. It was the one time I was thrown off from the look of the film. And it comes at the worst possible time.

Tom Cruise: RANKED

My wife loved it. I felt it was pointless and didn't match the character arch from E3 and E4 for Obi-Wan. I also felt the antagonist Third Sister was an awfully written character with a really odd and undeserving arch. Her character made no sense at the end. The final fight between Obi-Wan and Dark Vadar was cool, but I didn't feel it was needed after the events of Episode 3. This is a mostly useless series.

Goofy needs to let go and let his son live life. Max has every right to be annoyed at Goof. What's worse is Goof oversteps even after Max gives concessions for Goof to spend time around him during college. Max has nothing to be sorry about.

7. The feature that relates to the above pick

Phycological thriller that turns ghost story with a bit of winter survival. It's a lot for such a short film. I think the movie falls short in the first half. Guy never feels truly threatening to Girl and I think the tension and deceit never leads to anything worth a damn. The ghost story aspect is much better but also makes up the rules and does what it wants. It's flimsy. I also can't find a reason to rewatch the movie. It's pretty straightforward with nothing special.

Not nearly as funny or adventurous as I expected. I didn't care for Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito feels off with his humor, and Kathleen Turner was missing something that kept me from falling for her character. The adventure was also a bit tame and troupey. Nothing felt overly original or exciting. It has its moments and scenes.

Somehow this flies by with great action and pacing. A lot happens to Anakin to become Darth Vader and the film gives everything needed for this to happen.

Florence Pugh impresses. She's great with the action, comedy, and the deep emotional scenes. David Harbour brings a massive presence and character, plus more humor. Sebastian Stan has become the stable foundation. Wyatt Russell is still an asshole. And I have no idea who's Hannah John-Kamen. I must have missed that show or movie. Bob is awesome and terrifying. It's a great team-up movie with a lot of characters I'm enjoying. The film did feel too long. It's pretty much three locations, too. Should be much shorter. I haven't kept up with Marvel movies, but happy to have jumped in on this movie.

One of the better disaster movies.

I'm currently roadtripping around Scotland and this came on the TV at the end of the day. I wasn't giving it my full attention, but it has it's moments that can be quite distracting.

Bad acting, terrible CGI, and a story that barely makes sense.

Best Picture
- This whole film is too melodramatic to really be considered one of the best films from 1987. The story feels too basic and does not have enough meaningful impact to extend beyond a typical romance film.
Best Director
- Best directing? That feels the most undeserved. Nothing looks amazing or special and transcending or unique. It's well made, certainly not bad or cheap or easy. Just nothing special.
Best Actress in a Leading Role
- Cher is good, though. It's really hard to fault her in this role. I have to see the rest of the nominations to get a good feel for her win. Right now, not sure it is good enough.
Best Actor in a ing Role
- She has a moment or two to shine, but never felt like this was a profoundly special performance. I know she has done better.
Best Actress in a ing Role
- This makes no sense to me.
Best Original Screenplay
- Is this just a romcom with some cultural significance? Still need to see the rest, but this already feels like the wrong choice. The easy choice.

Mostly boring miniseries with the two most boring Avengers fighting some of the most boring MCU villains.

8. FREE pick #1
I love the original aesthetic, sounds, and feel from the original Alien film. The story was fine, but the added lore only builds my interest for more Alien films. The characters are the real let down. They don't feel like a typical Alien crew, instead a generic group of asshole teems about to get killed off in a slasher film. Truly hurts this film. The lead character is strong and smart, I just didn't care for the actress. The only other issue is with the shots that depend on CGI. They would come off more video-game style than big, sci-fi horror feature. It's those moments and the characters that keep me from really loving this movie. I still hope a sequel comes from this movie. I still want more.

Just some Sunday morning cartoon fun.

I was really excited about this movie, but never expected it to be great. The action is bombastic. The visuals are out of a video game. And the characters are cartoonish in the best way. Shame about the story being generic and played out. But, Tom Hardy is a fun lead actor and the action was constant and wild. It's a fun action movie and there is no need to really pay attention to the story. Just enjoy the visuals.

Jesús Franco: RANKED

A Jess Franco Jack the Ripper movie with Klaus Kinksi ends up exactly what you'd want in a gothic horror slasher. Kinski is deranged. The kills are gruesome. The setting is amazing. It feels a lot more put together than most of Franco's other films.

Not sure what is going on half the time, but it's wild and over the top and hilariously fun.

Second viewing, this time in IMAX

So much better this time. Deeper meanings, back stories, and motivations really changed how I look at certain characters. Remmick is a lot better character and villain this time knowing everything about him. Also, seeing this in a great theater with amazing sound blew me away. My local theater is shit! I need to make the longer drives to better theaters. Nearly a perfect movie.

My big issue is the couple random bar patrons that show up out of nowhere in the final showdown. Where the fuck did they come from?

Fun filmmaking and an interesting execution for the story. It all feels real in the best ways. It's just too boring and never all that scary. Would have been cool to watch at the time. Not as much today.

60th Academy Awards
Nomination
Best Actor in a ing Role, Sean Connery
- I am not sure about this one. The accent is terrible and I think he overacts in many scenes. Not sure it's deserved
Best Music, Score - Ennio Morricone
- Not his best score, but it was absolutely wild with it's distinctive 1930s sound mixed with a style from the late 80s.
Best Art Direction
- Never did I feel like this was a film from the 80s. The look of the sets, indoor and out, just looked the part.
Best Costume Design
- When the opening credits mentions Giorgio Armani suits, you know you're in for something special. From the clean, professional suit of Costner's Elliott Ness, to the flashing style for Capone, and even crazier looks for his henchmen like Nitti. Well worth the nomination.

As for the movie as a whole, it was quite entertaining if not a bit melodramatic at times. Kevin Costner is just plain fucking boring. Sometimes it works, often it does not. The story is also complete BS with few characters being real, and so few of those being portrayed realistically. Major plot points and action sets are also completely made up. As a piece of entertainment, it's great. But, it is far from the historical drama I expected.

52 Years in 52 Weeks - 1987

60th Academy Awards
Nomination
Best Actor - Robin Williams

I've never seen this, but always knew what it was and where the draw came from. It's Robin Williams pretty much having free reign to do and say what he wants. It's Robin Williams, not Adrian Cronauer. I always figured that was the case and never cared to watch this movie. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of Robin Williams. Well, not when he plays himself. I find his more serious roles to be the far more entertaining. The main draw of the film for me was a new and different look into the Vietnam war and highlight Airmen in popular movie culture, a rarity compared to the other services.
With all that, the movie was exactly what I expected. Funny in small doses, but often too much. Plenty of commentary on the the war with how it effected civilians and military. And a complete exaggeration of the man the film is based. It's good, but also really damn annoying.

An experience worth going to the movies. An experience I don't think I want to watch again. A perfect example of intense filmmaking and storytelling, without having to explain a single piece of jargon or acronym. If you don't get it, you probably will. And it really doesn't matter. Expert filmmaking.

52 Years in 52 Weeks - 2025

Didn't expect this. Mid-April and a strong contender for movie of the year. Certainly horror movie of the year. Probably the best vampire movie, ever. And then there's the crime thriller that is subtle and heightens the tension before the chaos starts. There's also a story of brotherly love that you never realized matters until the very end. And maybe the most unexpected aspect was the heartfelt and sometimes painful love between the brothers and their lost love. This film perfectly balances each genre while building characters worth caring about with consequences that are painful to watch. And of course the acting is near perfect, the cinematography is beautiful, and the editing and overall direction is tight and perfectly executed.

Forgot I watched this before. I some details, but it's mostly a new movie for me. Fortress was always a favorite of mine and this is a less inventive and interesting version. This does have a GREAT villain. The action is cool with its medieval style and kind of modern setting. Plenty entertaining, but is missing something special.

39. Released in the 1990s

American TV Giallo with Tom Skerritt and Elijah Wood. On a very basic level this is entertaining, but it has a lot of flaws and some serious moments had me laughing too much.

27. Watch a sci-fi film from .

Simple concept, simple single location, few characters, and a great idea. It does run way too long, but it's a cool idea that builds great tension and had me questioning what was going on and where things were going. Really wish the pacing was quicker.

1. The most popular horror film on your watchlist.

I've really enjoyed Dastmalchian lately and this was a great film for him to lead. Kind of quirky, a bit scary, tons of camp, and enough genre-film fun to show off what he can do. Just as impressive as his performance was the look and feel of the production. Effects weren't always great, but always fun and somewhat effective. Pacing isn't always great and I wish they didn't move away from the live feed as much, but the content added appears worth it in the end.

SCI-FI x 52 ~ 2025
49. Watch a sci-fi film suitable for children (rated G or PG)

It's real easy to make a bad kids movie. It's something else to make something like this film, full of sci-fi wonder and otherworldly adventures, with kids that don't annoy me, and a lesson worth learning, and a nice little twist in the end.

My short-term goal to watch the movies nominated during the 60th Academy Awards. I will focus on Best Picture, Director, Acting, and Writing categories at first. I will probably skip the documentaries unless they are easy to find on my streaming services. I will also rewatch anything I've seen before.

Let's see how they stack up today, and what ends up being my picks for each category.

The list will start with movies I've seen.

And some sort of stat will be included. I dunno.

I am picking this year because it's the year my wife was born and I think it would be fun to get her involved, for a little while, at least. I've also not seen any of the Best Picture, Director, Actors, and all but one Best Writing nomination. It's pretty much all new to me.

  Best Actor - Robin Williams
  - It is a strong performance to highlight his comedic style and that alone does not warrant a nomination. He was given opportunities to show what he can do with a more serious tone of content and for the most part make good work of the material. It's one of those typical loud and boisterous performances that seems easy for the Academy to vote for. At the time of writing this comment, Robin Williams is the first actor nominated film I've watched and can't really determine if this is truly the best performance of the year or not.

• The Untouchables

  Nomination
  Best Actor in a ing Role, Sean Connery
  - I am not sure about this one. The accent is terrible and I think he overacts in many scenes. Not sure it's deserved
  Best Music, Score - Ennio Morricone
  - Not his best score, but it was absolutely wild with it's distinctive 1930s sound mixed with a style from the late 80s.
  Best Art Direction
  - Never did I feel like this was a film from the 80s. The look of the sets, indoor and out, just looked the part.
  Best Costume Design
  - When the opening credits mentions Giorgio Armani suits, you know you're in for something special. From the clean, professional suit of Costner's Elliott Ness, to the flashing style for Capone, and even crazier looks for his henchmen like Nitti. Well worth the nomination.

• Street Smart

  Nomination
  Best Actor in a ing Role, Morgan Freeman
  - Break through role, Morgan Freeman shows his capability and his screen presence. He makes Christopher Reeve shiver in his boots. It is worthy of the win? Not quite. But, it's a wake-up call for anyone not paying attention.

They are great spectacles of entertainment. I have ranked the movies by enjoyment; which would I want to sit down and watch right now.

I am a regular participant of ACTIONx52 and HORRORx52. And to be honest, these two are more than enough. I am pushing hard at the end of 2024 to complete both lists. It will come down to the wire.

For this challenge, I can only pick films that were released in the year I was born (I'm going with Letterboxd dates to avoid UK/US release date confusion), the total amount of films to watch is the same as my current age.

There is no time limit on the challenge, only to watch all the films before my next Birthday, or I'll have to add another film!

All the films have to be first time watches.
I am also sticking with movies I have access to online. Otherwise, I won't get close to finish.
