Boy Kills World (2024)

Boy Kills World is the oddly titled, oddly written action comedy.

The film is written and directed by Moritz Mohr, who has only done shorts before. While there are some technical problems in his direction, the writing was funny and even though it wasn't original it was a fun take. Tyler Burton Smith helped with the screenplay. You might know him from video games more than movies since he did Alan Wake II, Quantum Break, and Sleeping Dogs. He also did the screenplay for the poor remake of Child's Play.

Bill Skarsgard has a few movies coming out this year namely The Crow and Nosferatu. The latter of which I'm most excited for. He has to act since his character is mute and deaf. He constantly looks at people's lips when they talk and it seemed like either the CGI was on point or he did a lot of his own stunts. Either way, he got shredded for the role.

Speaking of shredded, Jessica Rothe has her abs out the entire film. I wondered what happened to her after Happy Death Day and its sequel. Turns out not much. She's a diamond in the rough in my opinion and wish she could get more roles.

Yayan Ruhian is a stuntman who has been in a lot of martial arts films since his breakout in The Raid: Redemption back in 2011. I expect him to either be a guest or at least featured in a Corridor breakdown of stuntmen react.

The film left me with a smile. while there are some pacing and camera issues, the action and comedy made up for a lot. Result: B

Supergirl (2026)

Supergirl is directed by Craig Gillespie , known for I, Tonya and Cruella , and written by Ana Nogueira . The film attempts to launch a new corner of the DC universe while simultaneously giving Supergirl her own coming of age journey. While the movie does succeed in giving its protagonist a genuine character arc and lays some groundwork for future stories, the script often struggles with dialogue and plot points. Several lines land awkwardly, pulling scenes out of their emotional moments rather than enhancing them. In many cases, the performances feel less at fault than the direction, as stronger takes or rewrites could have improved several key exchanges. Milly Alcock , known for House of the Dragon , carries the film and easily emerges as its greatest strength. She brings vulnerability, confidence, and determination to Supergirl, making the character feel relatable even when the material around her falters. Alcock does everything she can with the dialogue she is given, and her per...

Jackass: Best and Last (2026)

Jackass: Best and Last is directed by Jeff Tremaine , who has guided the franchise since the beginning, and stars Johnny Knoxville alongside many of the familiar faces that helped make Jackass such a cultural phenomenon. Marketed as both a farewell and a celebration, the film splits its focus between archival footage and newly filmed material. While the nostalgic moments remind audiences why the series became so popular, the heavy reliance on older footage makes the movie feel less like a proper sequel and more like a retrospective with a few new additions. Johnny Knoxville , known for Jackass and Bad Grandpa , remains the face of the franchise and still brings his usual enthusiasm and willingness to suffer for entertainment. Even as age has clearly slowed some of the more dangerous stunts, Knoxville continues to provide the energy and personality that holds the film together. His presence helps maintain the spirit of the earlier entries, even when the material itself feels less a...

The Drama (2026)

The Drama is directed by Kristoffer Borgli known for Dream Scenario and Sick of Myself. T he film feels determined to present itself as something profound and artistic. Borgli leans heavily into style and ambiguity, but the result is a movie that often feels more interested in appearing meaningful than actually being meaningful. The pacing is hurt by constant quick cuts between scenes, rarely allowing a moment to breathe or an emotion to settle. Just as a scene starts to build momentum, the film jumps somewhere else, making it difficult for any dramatic moment to land with the weight it deserves. Zendaya , known for Dune and Challengers , plays her role with an extremely restrained approach. Unfortunately, the performance often feels one-note, with much of her emotional range limited to variations of frustration and disappointment. Whether this was a directorial choice or an acting one, it creates a distance between the character and the audience that the film never overcomes....
