Insidious: The Red Door (2023)

Insidious: The Red Door is the latest installment in the franchise with Patrick Wilson staring and directing.

Patrick Wilson has been in a lot of James Wan's films. This is his first attempt at directing. He doesn't do too bad of a job either. You might recognize him from the other Insidious movies and The Conjuring, he's also Nite Owl in Watchmen, and King Orm from Aquaman. In terms of acting he has to deal with a lot in the film as a father who has sort of lost his mojo. Solid performance and good entry into directing.

Ty Simpkins played Dalton in 2010 and again here in the latest Insidious. It's nice to see that child actors can sometimes still end up as good actors when they get older. You might recognize him from Jurassic World as Gray, or Harley Keener in Iron Man 3 and Avengers: Endgame.

Newcomer Sinclair Daniel did a great job but had a line when she was being introduced that was totally unnecessary and just woke. She was believable and likable after that. She's also gorgeous which doesn't hurt. She hasn't done much and this is her first movie, though she's done some TV series.

The result for Insidious: The Red Door is a B-. It's above average for a horror movie in 2023.

The Smashing Machine (2025)

The Smashing Machine (2025) is written and directed by Benny Safdie , better known for his work in front of the camera in films like Good Time and Oppenheimer . Safdie’s eye for gritty realism translates into this film, but the story suffers somewhat from being too loyal to its source material. The authenticity makes it a strong character study but keeps it from being as entertaining as other films in its genre. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson delivers one of the most surprising performances of his career. Known for action-heavy roles in films like Fast Five and Black Adam , here he shows a range of emotions rarely seen in his past work. This is clearly his Oscar push, and it is likely he will receive at least a nomination for his work. Also from Oppenheimer, Emily Blunt, plays the girlfriend character with frequent emotional swings. The volatility works for the role her performance brings depth and unpredictability to the film. I mentioned to my wife that everyone knows a gi...

The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025)

The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) is directed by Renny Harlin , who also helmed The Strangers: Chapter 1 earlier in the year. Much like its predecessor, this sequel leans into style and shock value, but Harlin does a slightly better job balancing tension with atmosphere. Filmed back-to-back-to-back with the rest of the trilogy over 52 days in Slovakia, the production feels rushed but not without improvement. Madelaine Petsch , known for Riverdale and Sightless , returns as the lead and noticeably carries the film. Her performance is sharper this time, showing more range and conviction despite the quick filming turnaround. She brings much-needed emotional weight that the script itself often lacks. Ema Horvath , who appeared in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and What Lies Below , gets more focus here. While her character is central to the story, the writing doesn’t give her much depth beyond moving the plot along. Still, she holds her own against the chaos. Richard Brake ...

One Battle After Another (2025)

One Battle After Another (2025) is written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson , who is no stranger to ambitious projects after films like Licorice Pizza and, one of the best films of all time, There Will Be Blood. His direction once again shows his knack for blending complex characters with striking visuals, though the film occasionally falters in how it handles some of its supporting roles. Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio , known for The Wolf of Wall Street and Titanic , is nothing short of amazing. He completely commits to the role, bringing intensity and emotional depth that anchors the movie. Oscar winner Sean Penn , best remembered for Mystic River and Milk , transforms himself into a truly awful villain. His presence is unsettling and effective, giving the story one of its strongest dramatic cores. Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro , from Sicario and Traffic , plays the calm and collected Sensei with quiet authority. His controlled performance contrasts...
