I keep recommending Chloé Zhao to my friends. Nomadland showed normal people living hard lives with beautiful empty landscapes. Her camera just watches without forcing emotions. That quiet way of telling stories about loss and freedom is something not many directors can do well.

Amour is heavy. Very beautiful but prepare yourself – it's about an old couple who stay together until the end. Their love is also friendship after so many years. If you can handle sad but honest films, watch it. Otherwise skip to My Afternoons with Margueritte or The Lunchbox. Those are gentle...

Bro what? They had Sarah Michelle Gellar, Chloé Zhao, and a talented new actress and still said no? That pilot must have been straight up terrible. Or Hulu just didn’t see the money in it. Either way this whole thing feels like a waste of everyone’s time. Fans deserved better than this...

My favorite that I hum all the time is John Williams again in E.T. That gentle five-note motif on piano then full orchestra when the bike flies – pure magic. It’s happy, sad, and hopeful all mixed together. I whistle it when I feel nostalgic or see kids playing outside. Another one is Alan...

This show is okay but nothing special. The story is predictable: guy returns home, finds secret kid, learns lesson. Seen it a hundred times. Humor is mostly small-town weirdos doing silly things, which gets old fast. Toni's rap career feels forced, like they needed something cool for the...

Man, this one hits different. Imagine losing your family because some kids were being stupid drivers, then you wake up in hospital and decide they don’t get to live happily ever after. The trucker tracking them down one by one sounds cold and satisfying. Milo Hayden fits that role perfectly. No...

Look, Rocky is the king of underdog stories because it never lies to you. Life sucks, you get beat down, but you keep getting up. That’s it. No magic, just heart. The whole series keeps that core even when the fights get crazier. Creed? It’s good, really good, but I feel the nostalgia pulls too...

Strong Jolie performance aside, the film feels like a joyless response to fashion satire without the bite. She brings depth to Maxine, especially in scenes of quiet dread, but the structure is flimsy. The three women's stories promise intersection but deliver mostly parallel isolation. Fashion...

Super pumped! Rick O’Connell is one of the coolest adventure heroes ever, and Evie was the brainy half that made it all click. Bringing them back feels right. Radio Silence has a good track record with fun horror, so this should be a solid mix. Just keep the practical effects and practical...

Terrible idea. Feelings get deep, then ages come out and someone feels lied to even though no one lied. That’s emotional whiplash. Imagine investing weeks in a person only to find out they’re from a completely different life stage. Kids? Careers? Health? All that matters. Hiding it doesn’t make...

I am actually excited for Conan O’Brien hosting again. The nominations themselves are fine, but the show needs energy. Last year felt stiff, and Conan usually brings balance without making it childish. As for the list, I think it reflects a strong year overall. Even movies I did not love, I...

Bong Sun-Hwa is not a perfect person, but that is why I stayed. She makes choices that are risky, sometimes emotional, but they make sense for someone who lost everything. I liked that the story did not rush her recovery. Prison, losing her child, and being betrayed actually changed her...

I’ve been following Smosh since the very beginning, and it’s amazing to see them still trying new things. The whole idea of a hospital where no one knows what they’re doing and roles keep switching is exactly the kind of chaos I’ve loved about them since the 2000s. I don’t even care if it’s...

Some of the names surprised me, like KPop Demon Hunters getting in with “Golden.” I didn’t expect a KPop group to even make it onto an Oscar shortlist. It makes me feel like the Academy is trying to be more open to different kinds of music instead of just classic movie scores. I’m curious to see...

Well, it's not a loss because, in a way, we kind of seen this movie before. Megan Fox already did Subservience. And there are already erotic thrillers about androids before. So it's not a big loss. Although, it can be said that M3gan, as a franchise, failed.
