🏆 4.6 / 5 🏆 — 30 Days of Night's hopeless frozen atmosphere and merciless vampires make its tale of survival horrific and gripping and one of the absolute best vampire horror films.
30 Days of Night plunges viewers into a harrowing vampire nightmare, set in an isolated Alaskan town deprived of its only defense against these bloodthirsty predators - the sun. This film depicts vampires with bone-chilling savagery that raises the beasts to a new pinnacle of terror. Echoing…
🏆 4.7 / 5 🏆 — With the right expectations, The Island is a thrilling and action-packed sci-fi extravaganza that is every bit as Michael Bay and explosion-filled as it should be.
I have never understood how this movie receives so much criticism and hate. At its core, The Island is a quintessential Michael Bay film, promising mind-blowing action sequences, stunning visuals, and a narrative that may or may not reach great heights. However, The Island manages to connect viewers…
🔥 3.8 / 5 🔥— Slow to start, but once the bullets fly, Ballerina delivers a ballet of blood and vengeance.
Ballerina twirls into the ever-growing John Wick universe with an inconsistent first act, but once the action kicks in, it delivers an epic performance. Unlike its predecessors, the film slows down after the opening sequence to provide backstory and motivation for Eve Macarro—played by Ana de Armas—which feels more conventional than compelling. The franchise’s trademark has been its minimal…
👌🏻 3.2 / 5 👌🏻 — It’s not the bold new chapter the title promises, but it’s not the disaster the internet made it out to be either.
Brave New World gives the new Captain America, Sam Wilson, a chance to stretch his wings in his first solo film. Unfortunately, his cinematic debut was largely panned by critics, underperformed at the box office, and, depending on who you ask, either broke even or outright bombed. It’s hard to ignore that…
🔥 4.4 / 5 🔥 — Alien: Romulus revives the franchise's terrifying origins and horrifying pedigree, and I can't wait to see more Alien films just like it!
YES!!! Alien: Romulus steers away from the weird sci-fi philosophy, taking the franchise back to its terrifying horror roots. The claustrophobic spaceship corridors, jump scares, and gore are all back, enhanced by the retro aesthetics of the original 1979 film, which make the impressive practical creature effects stand out even more. The movie is…
✅ 3.5 / 5 ✅ — Twisters is at its best when it focuses on chasing storms over chasing love.
Sure, nostalgia plays a significant role, but I still consider the original Twister the ultimate tornado movie (with Sharknado high on the list, too 🦈 ). That said, Twisters ranks near the top as well and was an absolute blast—a fun summer popcorn flick that I will happily revisit along with its predecessor.
Twisters’ character writing lacked the Steven Spielberg touch…
