Few films date themselves faster than The Naked Gun, a reboot of the beloved spoof franchise that feels like a time capsule from an era when zany humor ruled. Hollywood doesn’t even attempt this style anymore, and when it does, you get atrocities like Scary Movie 5—the kind of dreck that only Tubi would touch Read more

In 2025, when the streaming wars are more about who can bury the biggest turd under the most algorithms, Amazon decides it’s time to dust off H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds—you know, that timeless tale of humanity’s fragility against cosmic horrors. The 2005 Tom Cruise version was edge-of-your-seat tension, practical effects that still hold Read more

I’ve tried to give Adam Sandler the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his rocky reputation among mainstream critics, but there comes a point where reality slaps you in the face. For years, Sandler’s been raking in millions from Sony to churn out low-effort movies that feel like excuses to vacation in tropical Read more

In 2025, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has a glaring problem: if you’ve seen one Marvel movie, you’ve seen them all. Worse, the quality of these films is in freefall. A franchise that should have ended six years ago with Avengers: Endgame keeps limping along, desperately trying to rekindle the magic of its glory Read more

I knew Together was doomed when its marketing campaign boasted that it would break up couples. Nothing screams “date night” like suckering young lovers into a film designed to shred their relationship. Then again, if a Hollywood movie genuinely ends your romance, it probably wasn’t built to last. Dave Franco and Alison Brie, married in Read more

In the cesspool of Hollywood’s 2025 output, Honey Don’t! stands out as a particularly vile monument to creative bankruptcy. Directed by some faceless studio hack who clearly traded their spine for a paycheck, this Margaret Qualley and Chris Evans-starring disaster is less a movie than a soapbox for preaching LGBTQ dogma while gleefully spitting on Read more

A few years ago, James Gunn faced a firestorm over old tweets containing pedophile jokes, seemingly spelling the end of his Hollywood career. But in a twist that proves leftists play by different rules in cancel culture, Gunn not only returned to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 but was handed the keys to Read more

Hollywood knows exactly what it’s doing with a movie like Eden: slap three of the hottest actresses—Vanessa Kirby, Ana de Armas, and Sydney Sweeney—on the poster and let the male gaze do the heavy lifting. Sorry, horndogs, but if you’re buying a ticket for eye candy, you’ll leave disappointed. Eden isn’t a sexy romp; it’s Read more

One of Hollywood’s most eye-rolling trends surfaces a few times a year: pretending they don’t despise the vast majority of Americans. When they’re not churning out fanfiction assassinating political opponents, branding half the country Nazis, or subtly glorifying violence against conservatives—emboldened by tragedies like the Charlie Kirk murder attempt and the recent Dallas ICE shooter—they Read more

Lindsay Lohan’s career implosion is a Hollywood cautionary tale, well-known but rarely dissected. In 2004, she was an 18-year-old rocket, poised to be the next “it” girl, a la Sydney Sweeney. The industry was so confident in her star power that they even pushed a short-lived music career. But her meteoric rise cratered just as Read more

Over the past decade, Hollywood has churned out a parade of pointless remakes, each more soulless than the last. After slogging through a mountain of cinematic drek, I can confidently say the 2025 ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ is among the most useless. This slasher franchise, which even diehard fans admit Read more

The Marvel Cinematic Universe once carried immense weight in Hollywood. But in 2025, Marvel is a shadow of its former self. Every year, Kevin Feige and the suits at Marvel Studios churn out films, expecting the same global excitement as in 2016. It’s been over six years since Avengers: Endgame, and it’s time someone faced Read more

When it comes to the late stages of Tom Cruise’s career, credit where credit is due: at 62, he’s the only outspoken actor in Hollywood who respects both the filmmaking process and the audience’s desire for big-screen spectacles. If more industry figures adopted Cruise’s mentality, Hollywood might not have languished as it has over the Read more

It’s 2025, and the zombie fad has unmistakably run its course. A decade ago, The Walking Dead was a cultural juggernaut, captivating audiences in the United States and beyond at the peak of its popularity. But it’s not 2015 anymore, and even The Walking Dead franchise is a hollow shell of its former glory. When Read more

In 2025, it feels like every year brings a film that audiences are pressured to praise, not for its quality but to signal solidarity with a particular race or demographic. This mindset is toxic for film criticism. Many mainstream critics, paralyzed by fear of being labeled unsupportive, hesitate to call a flawed product what it Read more

At this point, I can’t come up with a logical explanation for why we keep getting Jurassic World movies. The original Jurassic World in 2015 nailed it: stunning practical effects, breathtaking cinematography, solid acting, and a laser-focused sense of wonder. It all clicked. Now ask yourself: Has there been a single Jurassic Park film that’s Read more

It’s no secret why so many people despise the financial sector: it’s hard to shake the feeling that the wealthy fund their lavish lifestyles through systemic fraud, leaving hardworking folks to bear the cost. In the United States, Wall Street is public enemy number one, despite being the backbone of the nation’s economy. But this isn’t Read more
