  Jack Quaid 2025!
  Novocaine delivers a fresh take on the hapless hero, brought to life by the always-entertaining Jack Quaid. While the film does tend to overuse its painless gimmick, it still makes for fun, nonsensical violence.

  Mickey 17 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Another Bong Hit
  Mickey 17 is a darkly comedic sci-fi experience, anchored by Robert Pattinson’s dual performance. While the story is intriguing, it does lean heavily on over-narration to compensate for its complexity. At over two hours, the film occasionally drags. Still, its unique concept and wry humor make it a compelling watch.

  The Monkey 2025

  ★★★ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  A Splatstick Spectacle
  With The Monkey, Oz Perkins attempts to balance horror and comedy within its absurd premise. While the film’s tension-breaking jokes can be hit or miss, its real strength lies in the gruesome, blockbuster-worthy gore that showcases the cursed toy’s evil influence.

  Captain America: Brave New World 2025

  ★★★ Watched 16 Feb 2025

  Captain America: Brave New World delivers great action and revisits long-forgotten loose ends from past Marvel films, though it often feels more like a Hulk sequel than a Captain America movie. Harrison Ford is a standout, and beneath the overstuffed plot lies a solid political thriller. Despite its flaws, it was still a fun ride for me.
