Inside (2023)

 


Inside is an artsy film about a person trapped inside a home he was burgling for art that he could sell.

Written and directed by Vasilis Katsoupis, who isn't really known for much. There are shots and sequences that felt over-drawn out. There are some convenient plot devices in the film that break the reality of what is happening. Some things are breakable with enough time and effort but other times they are superhuman in durability. In the end, it's an artsy film about art. 

Willem Dafoe plays the main character Nemo. He's on display for any flaws he has in his acting and of course, he delivers what you'd expect from a single-character movie. He plays a failed artist and now steals art from those who were successful. You might remember Dafoe as Green Goblin from Sam Rami's Spider-man. 

I never want to watch this film again and most you'd expect to happen about a person trapped in a home for days on end you'll find. If you just watch the trailer you'll feel like you watched the whole movie and leave the theater feeling dejected. Dafoe is the one saving grace and without him, the film would be a straight-to-DVD film. Result C-

Superman (2025)

S uperman (2025) brings the Man of Steel back to the big screen in a bold, colorful new start for the DC Universe. Directed by James Gunn , known for Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad , this might be his second-best film. It finds the right balance between hope, humor, and action without falling into the over-jokey MCU-esque trap. Gunn’s love for the character shines through, and the world feels lived-in and full of potential. David Corenswet , previously seen in Pearl and Hollywood , steps into the cape and owns it. He’s sincere, powerful, and manages to give Superman the warmth that has been missing in recent versions. It’s a classic take that still feels fresh. Nicholas Hoult , known for The Menu and Mad Max: Fury Road , is the best Lex Luthor we’ve had. He plays the character with intelligence and menace, but never turns him into a cartoon. He’s unpredictable in the right way and commands every scene he’s in. Skyler Gisondo , best known for The Righteous Gemsto...

M3GAN 2.0 (2025)

M3GAN 2.0 continues the story of the world’s most dangerously sassy AI doll, picking up after the first film's events with a new host, new threats, and a few more upgrades. Directed by Gerard Johnstone , returning from the original M3GAN , the film keeps the same sleek look and dark humor, but the energy isn’t quite the same. The scares are toned down, the satire feels more obvious, and the plot plays it safer this time. It’s still well paced and visually sharp, just not as punchy or fresh as before. Violet McGraw , reprising her role from the first film, shows a bit more range this time. She handles the trauma beats well and sells the emotional moments, even when the script leans a bit cheesy. She’s growing as an actress, and it shows. Allison Williams , best known for Get Out and Girls , returns and feels more like a supporting character this time. She’s fine, just not given much to do besides react to the new version of M3GAN and deliver exposition. Still, she’s a steady pr...

Dragon Ball Super: Broly (2019)

Dragon Ball Super: Broly is the next chapter in the Dragon Ball franchise, introducing (again) a character into the canon with Broly. Directed by Tatsuya Nagamine, the same man who brought anime fans One Piece Film Z, but other than that he hasn't done much in terms of movies. The real praise once again goes to the legend himself Akira Toriyama , who extends his universe even further and takes the series into a new leg. Anyone who has invested themselves in his universe will be glad about this addition. One of the promising new characters is Cheelai. She's a white-haired humanoid with green skin and small build. She's not really a fighter but she does seem to be the Chichi to Broly's Goku or Bulma to Broly's Vegeta whatever floats your boat.  There is a bit of inconsistency with certain aspects of the film but only huge Dragon Ball fans will even notice. I imagine this film is going to be confusing for anyone who isn't already a big fan. ...
