The Pros:

So much fun!

I grew up watching both He-Man and She-Ra so I was excited to give this one a whirl and I’m really glad I did. It was so much fun, and I was smiling during the entire film. I loved the mix of action and comedy. It really made this such a great popcorn watch without taking things too seriously. This film recognized its predecessors and tried to do something nostalgic for fans while still giving new fans something to be excited about.

Bring on the sequel!

There will be no spoilers in this review, but make sure you stick around the for the end credits scene. I jumped out of my chair with excitement!

Awesome performances!

Skeletor is one of my favorite villains ever and I was a little nervous when I heard that Jared Leto was playing him, but he did a FANTASTIC job! The sarcasm worked and Alison Brie made a terrific Evil-Lyn. She deserved some more screen time though…

My girl, Camila Mendes (Riverdale) kicked ass as Teela, but I knew she would eat up this role.

Nicholas Galitzine did a fantastic job as Adam/He-Man and Idris Elba was such a scene stealer.

This was such an electric cast, and I loved the dynamic between all of the characters so much. It really enhanced the overall story and made me root for the characters that much more.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios

A little too long.

The pacing was mostly on point, but I do think that things felt dragged out a little bit in the middle. I would have preferred this film to be just under two hours, but I still enjoyed everything. Not all of the comedic moments hit for me, but I dug the campy vibe so this wasn’t a major con for me.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

(4 out of 5 stars)

Masters of the Universe (2026) is an absolute blast to watch! 

Overall, this film exceeded my expectations. It’s the perfect film to watch if you want to just lose yourself in the movies for a little while and travel to the world of Eternia!

I’m in the mood to watch Secret of the Sword now!

Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Scary Movie” (2026) in Theaters: Packed with Cameos but Light on Laughs…

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

They’re back!!!

Scary Movie (2026) released in theaters on June 5th 2026. The horror comedy film is the sixth film in the franchise, starring Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-five minutes.

Twenty-six years after the first film, Shorty, Ray, Cindy, and Brenda are targeted once again by a masked killer.

Here is the trailer:

Scary Movie 6 parodies numerous horror films and gives fans a lot of cameos and nods at the original, but does it actually deliver on comedy? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Paramount Pictures

The gang is back together again.

The best part of this film was seeing the original cast back together again. I recently re-watched all of the Scary Movies to prepare for my watch and I can definitely say that Shorty and Ray’s presence was missed after the first two films.

There were a lot of other cameos and supporting roles as well by familiar faces, which was a lot of fun to see.

The younger cast didn’t really do anything for me. I didn’t find any of them funny, but I guess they delivered on what they were told to do…

Images courtesy of Paramount Pictures

Loved the nods to the original.

There was definitely some nostalgia watching this. I loved all of the nods at the original. I did chuckle a few times during this film and most of the time that happened during these moments. It would have been nice to see a few more cast members included. I still think that leaving Shannon Elizabeth out of this was a mistake…

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Paramount Pictures

Really not that funny…

Look, there were a lot of people in my theater laughing so maybe I missed something here, but I rarely laughed during this one. Scary Movie 1 and 2 are hilarious to me and I’m a huge fan of White Chicks so I did have some high expectations here and they were definitely shattered.

I think I maybe laughed out loud at one part and chuckled here and there, but there were SO MANY jokes that did not land and a lot of them were really painful to sit through.

I think part of the issue was that they tried to do too much here. It just didn’t translate well for me at all.

Also, it seemed like there were several missed opportunities. (Example, Brenda should have been able to go full Ma, but nothing happened with this other than a comment or two on her hair looking like Octavia Spencer’s).

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Paramount Pictures

I’m 50/50 on this one…

(2.5 out of 5 stars)

Scary Movie (2026) had a lot of great cameos, which were fun to see, but it offered very few laughs in return.

This wasn’t awful, but it really wasn’t great, which was so disappointing.

Spoiler-Free Review of “CHUM” on Demand: A Bland Rip-Off that No One Asked For…

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“The sea takes what it wants…”

CHUM released on Demand on June 5th 2026. The survival horror film stars Alice Eve, Eric Michael Cole, Lisa Yaro, Elle Haymond, and Jim Klock. It runs for approximately an hour and twenty-five minutes.

A wedding party in Malta find themselves surrounded by dangerous sharks after their yacht capsizes.

Here is the trailer:

CHUM has a familiar, but decent enough set up, but does it do enough to be worthy of your next shark watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of IFC films

Welcome back, Alice Eve!

It was a real struggle for me to come up with any pro for this movie. I’ll just say that it was great to see Alice Eve on the screen again and I’d love to see her in more (just not this).

She hasn’t aged a day and was the only spark of life here…

The Cons:

Images courtesy of IFC Films

Terrible acting and atrocious effects.

I don’t even know where to start…

This film was bad…really, really bad.

My bar is always set pretty low for shark films. I don’t expect much, but they are my guilty pleasure and I love them…even the bad ones. But, it was very hard to find anything redeemable in this particular film.

The effects were laughable. It really looked like AI slop or something similar. There was no real sense of suspense because of this and any of the shark action was watered down as well.

The acting and plot were pretty much non-existent.

A rip-off of other films.

My biggest issue with this film was that it was not original at all. Sure, most shark flicks follow a very similar formula. We usually get a couple or a group of friends who get stranded and then our toothy friends show up, leading to them getting picked off one by one until we get one bad-ass survivor in the mix.

This film just really phoned it in with every aspect. It stole from one of my favorite films of last year in such a bland and uninspiring way.

I was beyond disappointed with this one.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of IFC Films

Unfortunately I’m out on this one…

(1/5 stars)

CHUM is a complete rip-off of Dangerous Animals and Jaws: The Revenge with laughable effects and cringe-worthy acting.

I should have just re-watched Dangerous Animals instead…

Sorry, Alice Eve!

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts on CHUM in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Backrooms” in Theaters: A Mind-Bending Trip!

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“You’re still stuck right where you started…alone…”

Backrooms premiered in theaters on May 29th 2026. The psychological horror science fiction film (based on the popular web series) stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell, and Mark Duplass. It runs for approximately an hour and fifty minutes.

After an unhappy furniture salesman finds a secret door within the walls of the store, he discovers a space beyond reality. His curiosity leads him down a dangerous path, as he soon discovers he is not alone.

Here is the trailer:

Backrooms reels us into an Alice in Wonderland-esque world, unraveling a chilling mystery before our eyes. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of A24

An eerie concept!

I really enjoyed this world and thought it was so intriguing and complex. I wanted to go and discover all the endless rooms with the main character. Each one had me scratching my head, but I felt fully immersed in this puzzle, making this an interactive watch.

Images courtesy of A24

Enough freaky moments.

Even though this was a bit of a slow burn, there were enough freaky moments in this one. Sure, a lot of it didn’t make sense, but that was also sort of the point. They effectively used the found footage camera approach where it mattered, mirroring the overall tone of the film. While I wouldn’t necessarily say this film scared me, it did present us with some insane moments worth exploring.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of A24

The first half was stronger than the second half…

This might simply come down to preference, but I really enjoyed the first half of this film. I liked the idea of the unknown and once everything started to be revealed, it lost that chilling magic for me. I thought some things felt a little silly and outrageous, but I’m also not a huge science fiction fan so that could be why.

I also don’t enjoy shaky camera effects (even though I think they used them well) because it makes me dizzy so be prepared for that if that’s not your thing…

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of A24

I’m in!

(3.5/5 stars)

Backrooms is eerie, bonkers, and packed with freaky footage.

This film did a solid job with the content, inviting us into an intriguing new world.

Spoiler-Free Review of “PASSENGER” in Theaters: A Solid Enough Ride

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“The road can be a scary place…”

PASSENGER released in theaters on May 22nd 2026. The supernatural horror film stars Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell, and Melissa Leo. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-four minutes.

A young couple make the decision to move out of their apartment so they can take on life on the road together in their new van, but after coming across a crash on the road, they soon begin to suspect that something demonic has latched on to them, following them everywhere they go.

Here is the trailer:

PASSENGER is a decent enough watch with a few note-worthy scares thrown in. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Paramount Pictures

Spooky opening!

I almost wish I hadn’t seen the trailer for this film because it would have made the opening even more chilling. That being said, I still enjoyed the ride and it was fun seeing this in a packed theater. Some of the jump scares were a little cheesy, but they were also a lot of fun. The opening to this film definitely set the bar high enough.

Images courtesy of Paramount Pictures

Dug the vibe!

It’s no secret that I love horror movies from the early 2000’s and I thought that this film could have effortlessly released during that time. Was this movie amazing? No, not at all, but it was entertaining and a lot of fun. I was hooked the whole time and I easily found myself transported back to a time when horror movies were fun and spooky without making me think too hard about what was actually going on.

The characters weren’t insufferable by any means, which tends to happen in films like this. The actors did a good enough job with what they were given and I actually found myself rooting for them, which is a good sign.

It was a simple trip from road A to B and it worked for me personally. It was very easy to turn my mind off and just relax and enjoy the ride.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Paramount Pictures

Nothing new here…

This is a movie I’ve seen before. The plot and formula could have easily been taken from several other horror movies. The ending was a little silly, but as long as you manage your expectations, you’ll still have a good time with this film.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Paramount Pictures

I’m in!

(3.5/5 stars)

PASSENGER is a spooky thrill ride that channels horror movies from the 2000’s in an entertaining way, making this a fun popcorn watch.

Don’t expect anything too unique here and you’ll have a decent time!

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on PASSENGER in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “OBSESSION” in Theaters: A Distressing and Consuming Watch

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“I would choose you over everything…”

OBSESSION releases in theaters on May 15th 2026. The supernatural horror film stars Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson and Megan Lawless. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-eight minutes.

Bear has been in love with his friend, Nikki for years, but has never found the courage to tell her how he truly feels about her. After purchasing a mysterious “One Wish Willow,” he makes a wish for her to love him more than anyone in the world. To his surprise, the wish comes true, but it comes with devastating consequences.

Here is the trailer:

OBSESSION is a terrifying watch that transcends past the supernatural with its fresh take on infatuation, lingering with the viewer after the credits roll. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Focus Features

Inde Navarrette gives an unhinged performance worth talking about.

I wasn’t too familiar with her before this film, but wow is she on my radar now. She went all out with this portrayal in such a chilling way. I’d rank her right up there with Mia Goth in Pearl and Naomi Scott in Smile 2. She was that good!

There were so many tense moments in this and others that broke me emotionally. Navarrette never skipped a beat. She poured every ounce of crazy into the character of Nikki and it worked brilliantly.

Images courtesy of Focus Features

A new take on the infatuation/obsession genre.

It’s already one of my favorite genres, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how unique this entry was. It still fit nicely into the infatuation/thriller genre, but it also took a stab at some other themes without hitting the audience over the head with its message.

The raw and unfiltered moments were so well done. There can be so much said about this movie and I think it tackled loneliness, heartbreak, and the need for acceptance in such a thought-provoking way while still managing to cause goosebumps to appear on my flesh every single time Nikki appeared on screen.

The ending was also exceptionally well done. It refused to sugarcoat things and really left me in such a state after I walked out of the theater. That’s when I know I’ve just witnessed something truly brilliant.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Focus Features

I don’t have many…

While it may not be for everyone, this film checked off a lot of boxes for me. My only con would be that it was emotionally upsetting at times and maybe the lore could have been explained a little bit more.

I also felt like I needed to be in the right state of mind to watch this. I’m not sure that I would watch this one multiple times because it had such a profound impact on me with my initial viewing.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Focus Features

I’m in!!!

(5/5 stars)

OBSESSION is a tense and disturbing film that flips the infatuation genre upside down with its fresh and unhinged take.

Inde Navarrette is definitely a Scream Queen after that chilling performance!

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Devil Wears Prada 2″ in Theaters: A Stylish Sequel that Understands the Assignment!

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“Looks like you need a job…”

The Devil Wears Prada 2 released in theaters on May 1st 2026. The sequel to the 2006 film stars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, Simone Ashley, Stanley Tucci and Lucy Liu. It runs for approximately two hours.

After an unexpected setback in her career, Andy Sachs is offered the chance to return to Runway for a new career opportunity where she is reunited with her former co-workers.

Here is the trailer:

The Devil Wears Prada 2 gives fans plenty of nostalgia while creating something new in the process with fun cameos and satisfying performances. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of 20th Century Studios

Great dynamic between the characters.

It’s been twenty years but our main characters haven’t missed a beat. I thought they channeled their original characters extremely well and adapted to their new situation with flair. I loved the banter between characters and thought everyone put on a great show.

The cameos were terrific and can I just say that Lucy Liu has not aged a day! Wow!

The fashion was on point, but honestly I expected nothing less here.

Images courtesy of 20th Century Studios

New and fresh while still bringing the nostalgia.

It’s not always easy delivering on a sequel of an iconic film set 20 years later. I’ve seen a lot of other movies fail in this department, but I thought that The Devil Wears Prada 2 managed to find its groove with its approach.

Everything worked seamlessly to keep the original vibe of the film going while still taking into account that a lot of time has passed since the first entry. The balance worked for me personally.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of 20th Century Studios

A touch too long.

The pacing was fine overall. I thought a few of the story-lines seemed a little forced without enough time to flesh them out, but nothing felt too dragged out.

That being said, I think this movie should have been about an hour and forty minutes tops.

Things were a little cheesy and predictable, but everything was very entertaining nonetheless.

I thoroughly enjoyed my watch.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

(4.5/5 stars)

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a well-tailored sequel filled with fashion and fun galore.

I had such a fun time watching this!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Hokum” in Theaters: A Trippy and Terrifying Gem!

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“They were doomed…”

Hokum premiered in theaters on May 1st 2026. The folk horror mystery film stars Adam Scott, David Wilmot, Peter Coonan, and Florence Ordesh. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-eight minutes.

When a novelist retreats to a remote hotel in Ireland to scatter the ashes of his parents, he learns that a witch may be haunting a suite in the hotel he is staying at, which could be connected to the disappearance of a woman who helped him during his stay.

Here is the trailer:

Hokum lures us into a compelling slow burn mystery with some chilling moments built in. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Neon

So scary!

This movie scared me on more than one occasion. The jump scares never felt cheesy or filler. Each one complimented the eerie overall tone of the film so well. I had goosebumps on my skin the entire time and felt like I was losing my mind in the best way possible.

This movie reminded me a lot of Oddity (from the same writer and director) mixed with 1408. If you enjoy hotel horror flicks, there is a lot here for you to enjoy.

It may be a while before I go down into my basement and I highly recommend investing in some chalk!

Images courtesy of Neon

A solid mystery.

Even though this was a horror movie, I really enjoyed the elements of mystery within it. It really drew me in and I found myself wanting to know more with each clue presented, which ended up turning into quite the insane ride! Wow…

I also thought Adam Scott did a great job here with a note-worthy performance.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Neon

Be prepared for a slow burn.

I wouldn’t say that this was a major con and it didn’t take away from the overall impact of the film by any means. Just keep in mind that it will take a while for things to unfold.

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Neon

I’m in!!!

Hokum is a thought-provoking horror film that unleashes some frightening moments upon its audience, reeling us into an unhinged nightmare worth exploring.

This film exceeded my expectations! I’m not sure that I’ll be sleeping for a while though…

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Hokum in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Over Your Dead Body” in Theaters: Bloody and Bonkers!

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“Can we just pretend to be happy for one weekend?”

Over Your Dead Body released in theaters on April 24th 2026. The comedy action thriller film stars Samara Weaving, Jason Segel, Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, and Keith Jardine. It runs for approximately an hour and forty five minutes.

A miserable couple retreat to the family lake house for the weekend, but they have a secret agenda to kill one another.

Here is the trailer:

Over Your Dead Body is an entertaining comedy thriller that goes all out with gore galore and funny banter between the characters. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of XYZ Films

A twisted thriller with plenty of outrageous moments.

It was fun seeing this one with a packed audience. I’m still not sure why it didn’t get more showings at the theaters by me because this was a fun, popcorn watch.

There were a lot of jaw-dropping moments and this film was not afraid to push the envelope with its blood and gore.

This matched up well with Samara Weaving’s track record in films. There was a good balance of dark comedy and thrills here.

Images courtesy of XYZ Films

Fun cast!

I’m pretty much seated for any film starring Samara Weaving and I thought she had great banter with Jason Segel. Timothy Olyphant stole the show for me though. It was great seeing him play a charismatic psychopath once again. Once he showed up things got a lot better.

Everyone did great with their roles, elevating this film in a lot of ways.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of XYZ Films

Goes off the rails a few times.

I enjoyed my watch but I did think this film went off course quite a few times. That added to its bonkers appeal, but I was scratching my head, wondering where they were going with a few things.

There was also one scene in particular that I thought went a little too far.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

(3.5 out of 5 stars)

Over Your Dead Body is wild, outrageous, and a lot of fun!

Samara Weaving covered in blood is always a blast to watch and you can’t go wrong with Timothy Olyphant.

Spoiler-Free Review of “The Mummy” (2026) in Theaters: A Chilling and Blood-Drenched Horror Entry!

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“Somebody took our child…”

The Mummy (2026) released in theaters on April 17th 2026, directed by Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise). The film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Verónica Falcón, Hayat Kamille, and Natalie Grace. It runs for approximately two hours and fifteen minutes.

While working in Egypt, a journalist’s daughter goes missing without a trace. Eight years later, she is returned to her family, but it’s clear that she has brought back something sinister along with her.

Here is the trailer:

The Mummy brings this nostalgic franchise back to life again with shocking gore and truly disturbing moments. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Images courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures

Truly terrifying!

I didn’t expect this to be so scary and in some ways it wasn’t frightening at all and in other ways, it was your worst nightmare. This film successfully took an already horrifying premise and tweaked it with wild moments that made your skin crawl.

I could tell that this was a Lee Cronin movie because it definitely channeled some Evil Dead Rise vibes with its style and extreme gore. This worked in the film’s favor, making this entry truly pop and shock me with certain scenes.

My stomach is still turning from a few key moments. Yuck!

Images courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures

Effective story-telling.

I thought this was a very interesting rendition of The Mummy films. While I think it was strong enough to stand by itself with its own tale to tell, it really did something different and unique here.

I was very interested in the history behind it all and thought that May Calamawy was great in this film. I was rooting for her character and wanted even more screen time for her, although I get that we needed to focus our attention on the family.

The Cons:

Images courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures

A little too long.

The pacing was mostly on point, but I do think that things felt dragged out a little bit in the middle. I would have preferred this film to be under two hours.

I also thought this family made incredibly dumb decisions and took too long to realize that perhaps sticking around with Katie may not be the best idea…

So am I in or out?

Images courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures

I’m in!!!

The Mummy (2026) is a wickedly twisted film that will chill you to your core.

Overall, this film exceeded my expectations. It wasn’t perfect, but it was very entertaining for fans of the horror genre.

Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
