28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 8/10 EDIT “Gut-churning, bleak, ferocious, the sequel answers a lot of questions from the previous film with an unsettling exploration of humanity and social commentary. DaCosta delivers one of the best of the 28 Days franchise.” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 7.5/10 EDIT “Justin Tipping’s must-watch sports horror Him is tantalizingly inviting. The trippy, sinister and unsettlingly seductive mind-altering film is a brutal reflection of sacrifice, grit, integrity and the painstaking limits of sports culture. ” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Sep 19, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 9/10 EDIT “Bring some tissues, the bleak dystopian horror is so intensely traumatizing, bone-chilling, & gut-wrenchingly emotional. The brilliant script, Orwellian cinematography, eerie score & superb performances make this an incredible yet horrifying experience. ” – Latin Horror Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 6.5/10 EDIT “Captivating and colorful world building, lovable characters and a heartfelt story that embodies the Spirit of Superman, yet full of excessive exposition, unnatural dialogue, one-dimensional villains and the same beats we’ve seen over and over with GOTG. ” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Jul 9, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 6.5/10 EDIT “Gorgeous camerawork, strong performances and ferocious violence. Serves as more of a setup than a self-contained film, too many underdeveloped plot devices. Not only does it neglect the evolving zombies, but the human element doesn’t hit like the original” – Big Gold Belt Media Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 7/10 EDIT “Expands the world of John Wick with absolutely stunning backdrops, an exciting and gripping vengeful story of consequences, and a heavy arsenal of creative weapon choices and quick-witted resourcefulness. Why is she wearing earrings while scraping though?” – Big Gold Belt Media Jun 4, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 8/10 EDIT “An amusing, cynical & thrilling breath of fresh air for the MCU that offers a second chance for the unconventional anti-heroes. It sets itself apart from ensemble tropes with a deeper exploration of trauma, giving the unlikely team a sense of purpose. ” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Apr 29, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 97% 9/10 EDIT “A deliciously gory, wildly sexy, soulful & visionary masterpiece. ‘Sinners’ reunites Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Ryan Coogler & long-time friend and collaborator actor Michael B. Jordan for their fifth collaboration, in what may be Coogler’s best film yet.” – Latin Horror Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 77% 6.5/ 10 EDIT “ ‘The Monkey’ is a bloodthirsty and macabre display that essentially lacks a direction and offers no clear path or narrative... it relies too much on its quick thrills and grisly blood splatter over fundamental storytelling.” – Latin Horror Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% 7/10 EDIT “While it definitely has its flaws, Brave New World is still an explosive, exciting, and powerful start to Avengers 2.0 Sam once again picks up the shield with some enhancements and proves himself to be worthy of the shield and a seat at the table.” – Big Gold Belt Media Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 18% 2/5 EDIT “Love Hurts is silly, brutal & downright outrageous with a severely convoluted plot.While it features some bad*** orchestrated kills, a notable lead Quan it's essentially unoriginal, & comes off as a poor imitation of Millar-World or BulletTrain ensemble. ” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Argylle (2024) 33% 6.5/10 EDIT “ Argylle is a fun spy action comedy full of Great action scenes, great performances that will you have fully invested in the characters with loads of fun unexpected twists. If you know Vaughns style you can expect silly, wild outlandish and campy ” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 48% 2/5 EDIT “Whannell's reboot is extremely predictable, derivative and painfully formulaic. While it offers some brutal moments of despair and brilliant close ups of Abott's gut-wrenchingly agonizing transformation it brings nothing new to the werewolf genre. ” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) 71% 8.5/10 EDIT “The Syndercut is essentially an extended version of JL with new footage that tied up loose ends, cut out all the cheesy and sexiest JOSStice scenes, improved the horrific CGI, and primarily made all of our beloved heroes much more captivating and GODLIKE!” – GothamGeekGirl Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Shazam! (2019) 90% 7.5/10 EDIT “Shazam!” is easily one of the most fun superhero movies!! Zachary Levi was hilarious as the buff lightening-wielding goofy superhero. After the mega- success of Aquaman, DC is finally onto something.” – GothamGeekGirl Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Army Of The Dead (2021) 68% 7/10 EDIT “From the vision of filmmaker Zack Snyder (300, Zack Snyder’s Justice League) comes ARMY OF THE DEAD: a venturous and captivating new spin on the zombie genre with a splash of Oceans Eleven. Gore, comedy, guts, mayhem …& a Zombie Tiger ?! ” – GothamGeekGirl Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Silent Night (2023) 60% 7/10 EDIT “Woo's gritty action film is the ultimate revenge story full of epically volatile fight sequences, savage gun-play & gloriously coordinated combat tactics. With no dialogue Woo stuns audiences with his brilliant visuals & the movies use of sight and sound.” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Jan 29, 2025 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 63% 7/10 EDIT “A cosmic blast of fresh air and a feel-good time that never takes itself too seriously. It's full of laughter, exciting fight sequences, and a powerhouse trio that each get their moment to shine. These characters were made to be seen on the big screen.” – Big Gold Belt Media Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Origin (2023) 82% 5/5 EDIT “Origin is an impactful biographical drama that should be a requirement in teaching history. The deeply moving and gut-wrenching film is extremely powerful with its use of sound and imagery to evoke emotions of trauma, loss and tragedy throughout history.” – Big Gold Belt Media Jan 29, 2025 Full Review The Creator (2023) 67% 7/10 EDIT “A tantalizing beautiful cinematic display that takes a different approach and stance to the kinship of AI. John David Washington gives a solid performance as Joshua and has a strong connection with Voyles as Alfie who makes a very impressive film debut.” – Big Gold Belt Media Jan 29, 2025 Full Review It Lives Inside (2023) 64% 3/5 EDIT “While it offers an intriguing introduction of Hindu culture and delves into supernatural mythology we don't typically see in horror, it does little to add anything new to the oversaturated possession genre with basic jump scares, and teen horror tropes.” – Big Gold Belt Media Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Blue Beetle (2023) 78% 4/5 EDIT “An admirable introduction of the character to the DCU and an exciting film that had actual consequences. It encompasses themes of family, displacement, responsibility and culture, and it is so authentically Latino, audiences will be cracking up. ” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Jan 29, 2025 Full Review A Haunting in Venice (2023) 76% 4/5 EDIT “A spine-tingling and suspenseful crime-mystery with a cunning twist on the classic whodunit. Knives meets The Orphanage, the film will keep audiences eager for the big reveal with its exciting and shocking moments of intense panic and supernatural terror.” – Big Gold Belt Media Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) 49% 2/5 EDIT “The sequel is messy, bland and unfocused. While it retains its goofy charm, it fails to ignite spark. There were a few funny moments but they were overshadowed by predictable and formulaic moments, loads of plot holes and there are no consequences.” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Jan 29, 2025 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) 94% 9/10 EDIT “The John Wick franchise continues to evolve and offer a fresh perspective on the criminal underworld and delivers some of the best action and gun-play sequences.” – GothamGeekGirl (YouTube) Jan 29, 2025 Full Review
