Primate
(2025)

Matt Fernandez

Primate isn’t a revolutionary horror movie and doesn’t go anywhere that creature features haven’t gone before, but it’s an effective and entertaining ride through some ape-s--- situations.

Resurrection
(2025)
|
Timothy Lee
|
Resurrection stands out because it focuses less on the mechanical aspects of what makes films and filmmaking essential and more on the spiritual nature of cinema and why this art form influences us so much.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
(2025)
|
Matt Fernandez
|
It’s not a movie that can stand on its own merits, but more of an Avatar 2.5 that wraps up the loose ends of the last installment while priming us for future conflicts on Pandora. Still, I won’t say no to explosions and alien whale friends.

Wicked: For Good doesn’t capture the same magic as Wicked, but I still enjoyed experiencing Erivo and Grande conclude the story of these two iconic characters. They continued to command every moment that they were on the screen.

The School Duel

The main problem with this approach is that instead of creating an immersive and believable dystopian America fueled by fascist ideology and violence, we instead have a world that feels like it’s ripped straight out of a terrible YA novel or fanfiction.
