Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special (2022)

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
This was definitely an improvement from the first one. It still used Iron Man as a bit of a crutch, but Happy’s speech telling Peter no...

Jigsaw (2017)
After a seven-year hiatus, the Saw franchise is back. This definitely felt like a modern production rather than keeping to the TV drama...

Saw VII (2010)
Gotta love how all these movies had to be 3D after Avatar made bank. This one also tied up the loose ends of the series finally. It had a...

Justice League: The New Frontier (2008)
I do like some aspects of this film. The period piece aspect of the entire hero world felt different. Usually period pieces are done with...

X-Men: Dark Pheonix (2019)
This movie had the ingredients of a good movie. The story was meh, the characters were lackluster and uninteresting, and just felt blah....

Saw VI (2009)
I mostly loved the fact this whole movie was a big fat middle finger to the Insurance companies. They are 100% a scam and the reason...

Saw V (2008)
So there are two plots going on here. One plot is Jigsaw teaching his apprentice person via previous movie flashbacks. I assume this was...

Superman: Doomsday (2008)
I was not expecting Kevin Smith to make a cameo and throw shade at his Superman script that was turned into Wild, Wild West. I think a...

Endgame (2019)
There are a few parts where it was very MacGuffin-y to move the story forward but fuck, this movie is amazing. The payoffs and the gut...

The Shift (Released 12/1/23)
This is a religious movie disguised as a multiverse sci-fi movie. It uses the multiverse more in a butterfly effect way rather than a...

Saw IV (2007)
It’s even more connected! The story continues to flesh out Jigsaw and the people involved. This one probably has the most memorable set...

Saw III (2006)
They actually did a good job of rounding up the trilogy. If it wanted to, it easily could have ended here. Of course, Hollywood will make...

Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo (2006)
Being taken out of the usual DC locations was a nice change of pace. Japan is also a great location because of its insane lore and even...

Captain Marvel (2019)
I honestly love the sassiness and sarcasm of Carol and Fury. This honestly had a fairly empowering message for women to always push...

Dream Scenario (Released 11/10/23)

Godzilla Minus One (Released 12/1/23)
This movie was way better than I expected. Normally the human story is just filler in between Godzilla attacks. This time around it is a...
