Wicked: For Good (2025)
Largely a snooze fest compared to part one. Really weird pacing issues, hard to track timeline, and no songs that reach the heights of 'Defying Gravity' and 'Popular'. Meh.

Nobody 2 (2025)
Stupider than the first one. But, still a fun action movie. Just shut your brain off and don’t expect anything other than cool action shots.

Nosferatu (2024)
Bonkers movie. Soundtrack, costume design, set design all add up to an incredibly immersive gothic nightmare. So many shots like are a dark fantasy painting. Loved it.

Weapons (2025)
This review may contain spoilers. What a blast this movie was. The story was told in a way that kept it engaging most of the way through. I could have had about 30 minutes cut off (why does EVERYTHING need to be 2+ hours now?). The movie delivered in the same insane way Barbarian did before it. Thoroughly enjoyed start to finish.

Heretic (2024)
This review may contain spoilers. What a ride this movie was. I have a complicated relationship with horror movies. Most of them, in my eyes, don't stick the landing. This one... didn't really either. BUT, it didn't take a huge heel turn at the end. It remained mostly grounded. The first 75 minutes were incredibly tense with Hugh Grant just absolutely delivering on his character. His turn into goofy villain (and now straight up terrifying villain) has been very fun to watch over the years. He delivers on every aspect here. Every scene had me locked in and terrified for where it was going to go – his lines being delivered with incredible subtly – but remaining so exhausting in how tense and anxiety-inducing they were. Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East equally delivered as the naive missionaries knocking on the wrong door. While a lot of the discussion in the movie came across as a post in a atheist-led debating subreddit, there was still plenty to chew on. The final moments didn't quite deliver the punch it intended to, while the point was a decent one. The visuals of what Grant's character had done were a little absurd. Regardless, lots of fun and very tense throughout. Highly recommend.
