A Minecraft Movie

Alright, buckle up, because I just saw a movie that completely blew my mind! Seriously, I'm still buzzing. From the very first scene, I was absolutely hooked, and it didn't let go until the credits rolled.

The story? Oh my gosh, the story! It was so clever and well-crafted. It had twists and turns I never saw coming, but it all made perfect sense in the end. It was like a puzzle that slowly came ...

The Threesome

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ movieswetextedabout.com/the-threesome-movie-review-when-ambition-gets-lost-in-melodrama/

"The Threesome is a victim of its own ambition.

The story, which begins by intelligently questioning social conventions and the nature of relationships, gets lost in narrative devices and an unequal treatment of its protagonists. Despite Zoey Deutch's visible efforts to give her character depth, the lack of the same type of personal development ...

Warfare

A squad of American soldiers seemingly randomly select an house in Ramadi and having relocated it’s sleeping occupants to the ground floor, set up a sniper station from where they can monitor the goings on around them. Initially, this all looks harmless enough as the Iraqi locals go about their business, but gradually the spotters become suspicious of repetitive activity, the odd person who seems to be snooping on them - and then, well all hell breaks loose leaving them facing an existential threat that will test their mettle, their equipment ...

Sorry, Baby

When we experience a traumatic tragedy, we often can’t fathom how we’re going to respond to it. Some reactions may follow expected patterns. But others may come across as wholly unpredictable, in large part because we don’t quite know what to make of them ourselves. That can become considerably more complicated when we don’t even know how to speak about them, to find the words to sufficiently express our feelings. And, when you combine all of these elements, you have the basis for the quandary faced by unnerved protagonist Agnes Ward ...

The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants

Meantime, “Mr. Krabs” races in hot pursuit because he knows that his enthusiastic, but gullible, young protégé is being lead on a perilous journey that could end up releasing untold terror on the high seas.

Echo Valley

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/echo-valley-review/

"Echo Valley is an effective thriller that blends emotional and narrative tension with strong performances and technical finesse.

While it doesn't break the conventions of the genre or explore all of its central themes in depth, it offers enough atmosphere, twists, and intensity to merit attention. Michael Pearce once again proves himself to be ...

The Accountant²

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://talkingfilms.net/the-accountant-2-review-ben-affleck-and-jon-bernthal-shine-in-a-surprisingly-superior-sequel/

"The Accountant 2 turns out to be a surprisingly superior sequel to the original, driven by the smart bet on the fraternal relationship between Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal.

Featuring more polished action set pieces, genuinely funny moments, and enough emotional depth to engage the audience, Gavin O'Connor delivers a story that is both ...

A private user reviewed Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025)

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

The best thing about Mission Impossible films is you watched one - you watched all; and you watched all - you watched one.

It's a typical mindless mild entertainment Mission Impossible film - that is all there to this film. Nothing else, nothing more, nothing less ...

A private user reviewed Red Sonja (2025)

Red Sonja

"Red Sonja" is an unpolished, sword and sorcery, romp.

There's a discernible lack of care and polish, in this production. Its by no means in in the same class as earlier cinematic iterations, such as the film from 1985 ...

A private user reviewed The Old Guard 2 (2025)

The Old Guard 2

The longest filler episode I've watched. There is no reason besides money that this film is nearly 2 hours long. It could've been a 5-10 minute intro to catch people up, but instead they drew it out to have an entire film.

With barely any lines to learn, this movie leans heavily on needless action and a confusing plot that leads up to "and next time on The Old Guard". There is no mystery, no ...

Now You See Me: Now You Don't

Twelve years after they dazzled us with their magical skills, the “Four Horsemen” are mysteriously reunited and joined by an enthusiastic young trio who bring some new blood to their most difficult challenge yet. Someone wants them to bring the wealthy “Veronica Vanderberg” (Rosamund Pike) to her knees, but the only way to do that is to pinch her enormous diamond. Needless to say, this is kept in an ultra-secure vault and this one is also buried deep in the Arabian desert. Before they can even think on appropriating this gem ...

A private user reviewed Together (2025)

Together

Despite the ever-growing popularity of horror films, I can honestly say I’ve really tired of half-baked releases that just don’t cut it, and that’s very much the case with this debut feature from writer-director Michael Shanks. By “half-baked,” I’m referring to pictures that aren’t especially scary, fall into patterns of predictable plot developments, routinely incorporate vague, unexplained elements, and fail woefully in their attempts at trying to offer audiences “something more” in terms of meaningful content, themes or insights. Regrettably, this combination of underwhelming qualities often results in meandering narratives that ...

A private user reviewed Ne Zha 2 (2025)

Ne Zha 2

This is quite an entertaining stand alone fantasy adventure that doesn’t really require you to know anything about what’s gone on before. Thanks to the sacred lotus, there’s a bit of reincarnation going on, but will that be completed in time to save the population of the “Chentang Pass” about to be attacked by an army of lava-borne devils? With certain defeat looming, the immortals start to take an hand in things - not unlike the story of the siege of Troy, and just like that take from antiquity, there is ...

The Perfect Neighbor

Started good and actually similar thing happened to me. I have a problematic neighbor and once, he insulted my mother when they were outside, then when he returned he banged on our door and this is when I said enough was enough. I got furious, went outside and started banging on his door and telling him to come out and face me like a man to man. He didn't. But in this documentary, that problematic neighbor shot the door banger neighbor. Anyway, back to the documentary... Like I said it started ...

A private user reviewed Superman (2025)

Superman

Superman (2025) aims high but ultimately falls flat. While it offers a few flashes of visual spectacle, the story feels disjointed and the pacing drags. Characters lack depth, and the emotional beats never quite land. It’s a disappointing entry that struggles to capture the magic fans expect. Sadly, it’s more forgettable than fantastic. 4/10.

A private user reviewed Death of a Unicorn (2025)

Death of a Unicorn

'Death of a Unicorn' is potential-laden, though unfortunately I just never really got my teeth into this one. The whole set-up is severely underwhelming, the whole plot with the rich family just didn't do it for me. It does pick up at the conclusion, which is where I see the potential.

A movie solely about the Kintners and the unicorns could've been ace, especially if it lent into the fantasy side of it; almost if ...

This is a musical not made for people outside of the USA. I had to watch the thing again and wiki Hamilton to try to figure out who was who except for some of the bigger names ...

A private user reviewed Brick (2025)

Brick

Our opening is filled with personal tragedy for our main characters, and they desperately need something new for their relationship to thrive. As bewildering as this is, it's actually kind of exciting in a bizarre way.
New characters enter the picture, and they're in the same situation, and they've been injured in their attempt at freedom.
Again, we've new characters, and they seem just as lost, and the terror of what's happening is strong to set in for them all.
With our now newest character, we see that all is not ...

A private user reviewed Havoc (2025)

Havoc

I'm a big Tom Hardy fan, a so it gives me no pleasure whatsoever, to say that "Havoc", a film he stars in, isn't good, at all.

Its not Hardy's fault, nor for that matter, is it the fault of the cast, in general. This thing fails because it crudely glues together, almost every tired cop film cliche you can think of and hope's it amounts to something.

A private user reviewed Black Phone 2 (2025)

Black Phone 2

As far as improbable sequels go, "Black Phone 2" isn't too bad.

Revive a deceased bad guy you would have thought was done with and craft a tale that feels somewhat like the first film, blended with an almost "Nightmare on Elm Street" premise ...
