Project Hail Mary Review - Extraordinary, expansive and introspective Science Fiction.
“The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.” — Thucydides Over the years the term blockbuster has become more and more synonymous with shallow entertainment. Mindless spectacle meant to visually capture your attention while providing little else. It’s something to watch while eating your popcorn and chugging a soda pop. It’s an afternoon killer. Empty calories. Sometime

This NERD's Most Anticipated Movies of 2026 - PART 1
It’s not often that I can start off a most anticipated list having already seen a couple of the movies. But it’s been a weird start to the year and I’ve been sick. And I haven’t felt like doing much of anything. But I must persevere. (It’s a head cold and I’m acting like it’s going to kill me) Movies are important to me and have been for most of my life. So talking about what exactly I’m looking forward to seems only natural. This is probably the twentieth time I’ve done this

The Bride! Review - An unapologetic, beautiful mess & Buckley is the magnetic heart at the center of it.
“There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand.” – Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Christopher Booker theorized that nearly all narratives are variations of seven core archetypes: Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, The Quest, Voyage and Return, Rebirth, Comedy, and Tragedy. Overcoming the Monster: Jaws, Star Wars Rags to Riches: Cinderella, Aladdin The Quest: The Lord of the Rings, Raiders of the Lost Ark Voyage and Return: Alice in Wonderland,

Scrubs (2026) - Season 1: Episode 3 - My Rom-Com Recap & Review
The third episode of the revived Scrubs slows things down just enough to dig into the emotional fallout introduced in the premiere, and it does so with the kind of heart and awkward humor the show has always excelled at.

Shrinking - Season 3: Episode 6 - "Dereks Don’t Die" Recap & Review
If there’s one thing “Dereks Don’t Die” makes crystal clear, it’s this: we are not emotionally prepared to lose thee Derek.
Please do not misunderstand, Derek #2 played by Damon Wayans Jr. is great, but we are of course talking about Ted McGinley's Derek.
Directed by Randall Keenan Winston and written by Sasha Garron and C.J. Hoke, Episode 6 juggles a full plate of storylines, grief, growth, fear, and change, but everything orbits around one looming question: is Derek g

Hoppers Review: Dark, Irreverent, and Funny
Hoppers feels closer to Looney Tunes than classic Pixar, embracing anarchy, irreverence, and rapid-fire absurdity over sentimentality. Daniel Chong layers surreal visual gags, social satire, and moments of anxiety beneath its chaos. The result is a genuinely strange, tonally risky animated film and Pixar’s most interesting effort in years.

The Judge: A Robert Duvall Masterclass
“Look around you. You're standing in one of the last great cathedrals in this country, built on the premise that you and you alone are responsible for the consequences of your actions.” - Robert Duvall as Judge Joseph Palmer When legends of the screen die, as fans we naturally take a look back at their body of work. We remember the greatness. We recall the authenticity. We mourn what will never be. Although ninety-five years old, Robert Duvall’s presence on the silver screen

Netflix's Beast in Me Had Me Hooked… Until They Didn't

Crime 101 Review - A crime caper haunted by the ghost of Michael Mann
“You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away and know when to run.” – Kenny Rogers Homage can act as a love letter. As they say, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." As with all things, there is a fine line between sincerity and insincerity. Even if well-intentioned, a lack of originality in a film’s story—whether in the plot itself or from a more visual perspective—means the audience can pick up on falsities like inorganic di

Send Help Review: Sam Raimi crafts a gory, hilarious & audacious thriller
“We sit here stranded, though we’re all doin’ our best to deny it.” - Bob Dylan Say what you will about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – it is one of a small handful of MARVEL movies that has an actual distinct style; it stands out. Eternals , however ill-received it may have been, demonstrates cinematography choices that resulted in one of the best looking movies in the entire MCU. With Doctor Strange 2 , it would seem that Feige and the powers that be took a
