Christy (2025)

Sydney Sweeney dresses down, weights up, and goes through the "ugly actor process" (not unlike Dwayne Johnson in The Smashing Machine) to portray real life figure Christy Salters, a tough as nails fighter who busts her ass to make her mark on women's boxing while suffering through sexism, homophobia and domestic abuse. As cynical as I am about these biopics, this is both a harrowing and inspiring story with standout performances by Sweeney and Ben Foster; although, if you've seen one sports underdog movie, you've seen 'em all.

The Housemaid (2025)

A woman with a troubled past becomes the live-in maid for a wealthy household that seems to house a lot of secrets within. It's a twisty-turny psychological thriller with mysteries abound that keep unraveling. Lots of weirdness and inconsistencies throughout. It all falls apart towards the end, but it's an entertaining ride getting there. It also poses the question: Who would win in a fight? Amanda Seyfried or Sydney Sweeney's cleavage?

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)

Avatar has a new skin. While the first two films introduced us to the forest and the sea clans, we now have the ash clan. All that's missing is the air element...

James Cameron does it again. By creating a rich, fully inhabited world that you would rather live in, you forgive all the flaws in this epic sprawling picture, filled with warring clans and transparent allusions to racism. Visually, it's a 10/10 movie; like your desktop wallpaper come to life. Cameron has masterful command over the material and takes us to dazzling, staggering heights filled with beauty, wonder and imagination. Individual moments shine, but most of it feels like CGI on overdrive with things exploding in the background, which overshadows the drama and emotional stakes. The new villain Varang (Oona Chaplin) oozes with sensuality, while the most interesting character remains the teenage Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), but there are too many storylines and the whole thing loses focus quickly. The fundamental flaw of these movies is that they're way too fucking long. And it's starting to feel repetitive at this point. I enjoyed it, but I also breathed a sigh of relief when it was finally over.

Note: Luckily, this film does feature a conclusive enough ending if Cameron chooses not to continue with his planned sequels. We'll see what happens.

Anaconda (2025)

Behind the scenes on an Anaconda movie turns into a real life anaconda movie in this meta reboot featuring a tight knit of childhood friends who team up to make their filmmaking dreams come true. It's funny to a degree, although the trailers do a good job of ruining all the surprises. It's very broad comedy, but preferable as an alternative to a soulless remake. Familiarity with the original film is not required, but recommended for maximum fan service enjoyment.

2½ shy whizzes out of 5

Anaconda (1997)

A documentary film crew on an expedition in the Amazon crosses paths with a snake hunter searching for a legendary giant anaconda in this cheesy horror adventure flick. The standout here is Jon Voight as the former priest turned jungle raider. The blend of practical effects and early CGI is jarring at times, but all part of its odd nostalgic appeal. Kind of like a budget Jurassic Park. 

It's a dumb creature feature, but kind of enjoyable for the same reasons.

Troll 2 (2025)

Troll, except now there's 2 of them. Not to be confused with this Troll 2.

If the first one was Godzilla, then this is Godzilla vs. Kong. That is to say, there's nothing truly original about this. It's a Norwegian film riddled with Hollywood clichés. As always, the slow motion telegraphs emotion and the contrivances are there to wring some forced drama out of the proceedings.

This movie is bad; not in a fun way. It made me long to see The BFG again.

Troll (2022)

Deep in the mountains of Dovre, an ancient troll has awakened from its slumber, while a paleontologist teams up with her estranged father to investigate it in this Norwegian folklore-inspired monster flick, which feels like the local Nordic version of Godzilla. It's mostly the CGI that brings the quality of the production down, but the whole thing just feels so painfully generic, and once you involve the military, these films become significantly less fun. Honestly, Trollhunter is looking much better by comparison.

Dust Bunny (2025)

A delightful dark fantasy told through the eyes of a child. 8-year-old Aurora is terrified of the monsters hiding under her bed, including a literal bunny made up of dust. She procures the services of her mysterious next door neighbor to handle the problem, although he doesn't believe the monsters are literal. It's a simply told horror tale that lulls you in a state of calm on the surface, but the charming performances (including first-timer Sophie Sloan) carry you forward. 

Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Hannibal) makes his big screen directorial debut.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025)

Taking place at another Freddy Fazbear franchise location with its own tragic backstory, we're introduced to a new animatronic known as the Marionette. It's somewhat spookier than the first film, and therefore better, but it still can't escape the shackles of its PG-13 prison, catering to the kiddies in the audience. It'll most likely work best with those who recognize it for all the fan service. 

2½ music boxes out of 5

Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)

A guy struggling to keep custody of his younger sister has to take a crappy security job at a Chuck E. Cheese knockoff with animatronic creatures that come alive at night. But Night at the Museum, this is not. Visually, the robots look great (courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop), but it's missing the stark horror and simplicity of the games. It's an amusing horror comedy that does the best it can with its PG-13 premise, but if you want to see the better (albeit, unofficial) adaptation of FNaF, check out Nicolas Cage in Willy's Wonderland.

Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025)

Billy has a voice inside his head telling him who to kill. He meets a girl named Peggy who is suffering from her own demons. It's a remake of the 1984 slasher film, flipping the script and making him fight for good, killing only evildoers through a sixth sense. It's a decent enough effort in a paint-by-numbers kind of way, as predictable as it is to figure out where it's heading the whole way.

1½ Nazi Santas out of 5

Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker (1991)

After the last film failed to make an impact, this one goes in a completely different direction, with killer toys that seem to deliver themselves. None other than Mickey Rooney stars in this film (who denounced the original film), making his auspicious Nutshell debut in the oddest of roles, as toymaker Joe Petto. This one shares more in common with Puppet Master or Demonic Toys, which brings me great joy. Sadly, it ended just when it was getting interesting.

This was the last of the SNDN series, aside from two reboots in 2012 and 2025.

Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation (1990)

AKA: Bugs

Brian Yuzna steps in as director in a sequel that bears little resemblance to the previous three films (no guys in Santa suits here). It represents a clean break from the series, similar to Season of the Witch. In fact, this one also deals with witches, as a journalist investigates a bizarre burning incident, leading her on a dark odyssey. Even though it contains some cool, grody Cronenberg-esque special effects, it's clear the script was repurposed and Christmas seems to be an afterthought. It's so bizarre and nonsensical, it's to be admired, really.

Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out! (1989)

After a good first installment and a garbage retread, we split the difference with a ho-ho-hum sequel to the SNDN franchise. Laura is a blind girl with latent clairvoyant abilities, undergoing experimental sleep studies where she shares a psychic link to a survivor from the last film. I kinda liked this one; it attempts to do something different with the series. But with so many directions it could have gone, but it settles for the road most travelled. The whole thing feels staged in slow motion and bound to put you to sleep with milk and cookies.

Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972)

AKA: Deathouse

AKA: Death House

AKA: Night of the Dark Full Moon

After being discovered burned alive, Wilfred Butler's estate is bequeathed to his grandson, with the express order that it is to remain untouched. Twenty years later, Butler House is suddenly up for sale, and death soon follows.

A proper spooky mystery film, this holiday slasher predates even Black Christmas. The beauty is in its simplicity, which is unique to the era it was made. This one is all but forgotten to time, but it deserves its flowers.

Secret Santa (2018)

Things are getting heated over Christmas family dinner and people are at each other's throats as the truth comes to light. I don't want to give too much of this black comedy away because it unfolds so organically, but it's so gratifying to see a realistic depiction of family dysfunction with a macabre twist. It's such a ferociously funny and vulgar anti-Christmas movie, it cured my holiday ails.

3½ skull fucks out of 5

Santa's Slay (2005)

Wrestler Bill Goldberg plays a jacked demonic Santa with attitude, free from a thousand year curse. The first four minutes of this movie is killer. The rest fails to live up to it, but still pretty damn fun if you're tired of the typical Christmas offerings. The one ingredient a lot of Christmas horror movies are missing is irreverence and this one has a heaping dose of it. With repeat viewings over the years, it's bound to become a staple of the season. Pair it with Krampus.

3 curling matches out of 5

The Creeps (2025)

Extremely cheesy horror comedy about a kid celebrating his 17th birthday in Finland, where killer snowmen attack. It tries very hard to evoke the Gremlins ethos (including a cameo from Joe Dante), which works fine when it's practical effects, but the overreliance on CGI spoils a good thing. Filled with lots of '80s movie and TV references, including a very overt Highlander subplot (featuring Christopher Lambert himself). This all adds up to something that should have been a lot more fun than it was, but maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it.

Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman (2000)

What's the best way to beat the cold and avoid mutant killer snowmen? Spend Christmas at a tropical resort in the Bahamas. Even this one stretches the limits of credulity from its ridiculous concept. It's almost like the I Still Know What You Did Last Summer of the Jack Frost series, except so much dumber. Now the creatures have multiplied, and it takes on kind of a Tremors feel. It really leans into the silliness and absurdity, so you have to be in the right mood for it.

A third film was planned, but scrapped after actor Christopher Allport passed.

Jack Frost (1997)

On his way to be executed, a serial killer's transport crashes into a genetic research truck, where his mutated DNA merges with the water molecules and he becomes a killer snowman able to reconstitute at will, all while swearing revenge on the small-time sheriff who caught him. You know exactly what you're getting with this over-the-top horror-comedy; ridiculous kills and cheesy one-liners. It shares a similar DNA to the Chucky movies, except the immortal soul has been trapped in ice and snow, so he's rendered unkillable.

I remember seeing this on video when it first came out. I was the perfect age for it. It remains one of the underrated gems of the season and a cult classic.

Note: Not to be confused with Jack Frost (1998) starring Michael Keaton.

The Predator Holiday Special (2018)

Santa Claus, his elves and his reindeer encounter a Predator at the North Pole. It's a two-minute stop-motion film included in the Blu-Ray special features for The Predator designed to promote the home release, which probably takes less time to watch than to nut. It's a fun, festive, bloody treat to fit the holiday.

The First Snow of Fraggle Rock (2025)

The caves are decorated with lights, and the Fraggles of Fraggle Rock await the first blanket of winter, but when only a single snowflake materializes, Gobo doesn't have enough inspiration to write the annual holiday song. So he must travel to "Outer Space" (the human world) for further motivation. The Fraggles's best attribute has always been the music, and there are four new songs here, although only one of them is an earworm ("Can You Feel It?"). It's a pretty tame and tepid holiday special designed for the kiddies, and nothing I would ever be interested in revisiting. Worth it only for the nostalgic factor.

White Reindeer (2013)

After a tragedy leaves her world torn apart, a woman is sent down a dark path where she makes some unexpected friends. Not only does this pitch-black comedy make a great counterprogramming to Christmas, but it's one of the best examinations of grief I've ever seen. Make it a double bill with Bad Santa.

Merry Good Enough (2023)

Every year, I search for the ultimate anti-Christmas movie and my hopes are always dashed. Aside from horror, there are always happy endings, and even the most subversive films seem to embrace the holiday spirit by the end.

After feeling unappreciated by her dysfunctional family, the mother to three grown children disappears on Christmas. There's a lot of dark potential to mine in this indie dramedy, but it never quite goes far enough. Close, but no cigar.

Oh. What. Fun. (2025)

Michelle Pfeiffer plays a GILF who is hosting the holidays this year, along with an all-star cast who apparently had nothing else better to do. Each year, I suffer through a new crop of Christmas movies that always recycle the same ideas and morals, which is that family sucks, but they're your family, blah, blah blah. You know that's exactly what you're going to get here. I'm disappointed that this came from Michael Showalter because I was expecting something dark and subversive. It positions itself to become a holiday classic devoted to moms, but you can't force that shit; from all the intentional Christmas Vacation and Home Alone vibes littered throughout. The only reason why this isn't a total piece of shit is because Pfeiffer elevates everything she does and she looks fucking incredible for 67, but that's not nearly enough to save it.

A Merry Little Ex-Mas (2025)

First off, when did Alicia Silverstone and Melissa Joan Hart get so old? Fuck.

A couple still on good terms decide to "consciously uncouple," but still insist on spending Christmas together with the kids, even when the ex has upgraded to a shiny new model. It's your typical Hallmark Netflix holiday movie with the edges rounded off and nothing that would make your grandmother raise an eyebrow. Just going through the motions of its AI-generated script. Utter slop.

Fackham Hall (2025)

One of the more clever titles in recent memory (say it with a thick accent), this spoof of stuffy period dramas is a wonderful blend of ZAZ humor and Monty Python irreverence. Like many films of this ilk, it's stuffed with so many gags, you won't be able to catch them all the first time around. Even if you've never seen a Downton Abbey in your life, there's still plenty to enjoy, including the romance at the heart of it. Jimmy Carr lends his particular style of joke writing skill to great use, although it sometimes feels like the edginess is being held back in spite of its R rating. It's funny, but I wish it would have gone harder.

Jay Kelly (2025)

Clooney plays a successful actor (wink wink) going through an existential crisis, who takes an impromptu trip to Europe, while his entourage follows him wherever he goes. It's a very "inside baseball" look at the entertainment industry, occasionally meandering and self-indulgent, but performances are strong and it's easy to get caught up in the glitz. It didn't quite work its magic on me, but it's a solid effort and an examination of a life lived good enough.

Ella McCay (2025)

A young upstart appointed to governor navigates the tricky politics of home dynamics and public office, with a heaping dose of "girl power." James L. Brooks brings his trademark light comedic style to the proceedings, but this feels so hollow and empty at its core that I don't even know what it's trying to say. Performances are good, but almost everyone feels wasted in their role.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025)

An adaptation of the 1992 stage musical, based on the 1976 novel (which was previously adapted into a film in 1985). In an Argentinian jail cell in 1983, a flamboyant man relays the story of his favorite movie to a political prisoner being held for questioning. These Technicolor sequences serve as a fanciful diversion from the stark horrors of prison life. Jennifer Lopez stands out as the titular character, which I enjoyed in contrast to the rest of this drab film. Unfortunately, it's a movie at war with itself that cannot be reconciled.

1½ pairs of shitty underpants out of 5

The Mastermind (2025)

The world's dumbest criminal concocts a half-baked plan to rob an art museum and must deal with the aftermath when things don't go quite as planned. For those familiar with Kelly Reichardt's methodically slow, minimalist style, this ironically serves as an anti-heist movie, focusing more on the banality than the crime itself. I have to admit, this was a very frustrating watch, witnessing its incompetence unfolding at a languishing pace. It gave me a tummy ache.

Nouvelle Vague (2025)

Set in 1959 in the wake of Truffaut's The 400 Blows, which paved the way for French New Wave cinema, it follows the unconventional filming style of Jean-Luc Godard as he improvises his way through his first feature, Breathless. Intentional or not, Jean-Luc comes off as a pretentious prick, always wearing dark shades and appearing nonchalant as he clashes with lead actress, Jean Seberg. All of my praise goes towards the look of the film, which feels like it was authentically made during this era—in black and white, Academy ratio and all in French—while Zoey Deutch perfectly captures the nuances of Seberg.

Blue Moon (2025)

Ethan Hawke plays Lorenz Hart, lyricist to famous tunes such as "My Funny Valentine," "The Lady is a Tramp" and the title of this movie, on the opening night of his former partner Richard Rodgers's hit Broadway show, Oklahoma! The entire film takes place in a restaurant where Hart waxes poetic, bemoans his luck, and harps over a woman half his age. Unfortunately Hawke does such a convincing job at playing the neurotic, overbearing, snobby character that I found the entire movie insufferable and exhausting. It's like Woody Allen except without any of the humor. Also, I couldn't get over the fact that he's playing a five foot character. I kept imagining him crouching in every shot.

Hamnet (2025)

A fictionalized account of a young William Shakespeare and Agnes Hathaway, and what would eventually become the inspiration for Hamlet. It's a lot less dull than it sounds, as the bard himself takes a backseat to all the melodrama. Jessie Buckley (as Hathaway) easily takes best actress of the year in one of the most moving, affecting performances I've ever seen. I still don't know how to process it all correctly. So many tears, I never want to see it again.

4 soliloquies out of 5

The Carpenter's Son (2025)

A supernatural thriller based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, featuring the "lost years" of Jesus. It's basically Teenjus, or The First Temptation of Christ. Nicolas Cage is wasted in the role of Joseph. Visually, it looks good, but the storytelling is boring and the pace is slow. It'll put you to sleep if nothing else.

Sangre del Toro (2025)

A portrait on filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and his lifelong fascination with monsters, from Pan's Labyrinth to The Shape of Water. Featuring interviews and rare film footage intercut with his art exhibition in 2019, it explores early influences from Buñuel to Romero to Cronenberg. To no one's surprise, most of it surrounds death and the grotesque and the misunderstood. There's not so much new for those who are already familiar with his oeuvre, and a lot of it feels sprawling and unfocused, but it's worth checking out if you're a fan of his sensibilities. Del Toro is very knowledgeable about different subjects, but this documentary feels superfluous. The films tend to speak for themselves.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022)

"Oh, the pain. Life is such hideous pain."

Guillermo del Toro brings us his longstanding vision of Pinocchio as a lovingly crafted stop-motion production with all the stops. It's a masterpiece of design and one of the best looking films I've seen all year. I like how it goes beyond the original story to show us how Geppetto was inspired to build the puppet. It has that classic story tale feeling, like the original 1940 Disney animation, but it adds a certain pathos and darkness that was missing from that film. I wasn't expecting to be quite so moved by the end of it. I think it's just wonderful.

4½ hourglasses out of 5

Frankenstein (2025)

Guillermo del Toro's long-gestating Frankenstein project finally comes to fruition, and it's a bit of a letdown. Visually, it's gorgeous and aesthetically pleasing, with del Toro's keen eye for the bizarre and unusual. The problem is, we've seen this all before in one form or another. The Creature himself leaves something to be desired. And it goes on for much too long. While I admire a lot about it, it just didn't connect with me as much as previous versions. But it's still worth recommending simply due to the sheer marvel of the production.

3½ cadavers out of 5

Wake Up Dead Man (2025)

The third in the Knives Out series surrounds a murder in the ranks of a parish when a young priest butts heads with the thorny Monsignor. It's a locked-room ("impossible crime") mystery where Benoit Blanc attempts to prove innocence and clear their name. Daniel Craig settles into the role like an old comfortable shoe, while the film itself feels tonally different from the rest, but it's very much worth a spin in all of its complexity and density. I hope Rian Johnson keeps making these films forever because he has a real knack for the genre.

Glass Onion (2022)

Rian Johnson follows up the successful Knives Out with another Benoit Blanc murder mystery that feels drastically different from the first. Taking place on a remote private island, it's a vacation mystery filled with high-tech gadgetry and hidden motives. Daniel Craig remains, but the rest of the cast changes, positioning him to become the next Hercule Poirot. It's an often convoluted puzzle box with the answers hidden in plain sight, which might detract from some of its thrills, but it's still worth the cost for all its opulent splendor. Craig is so great in the role, it might be the part he's remembered for over Bond.

Knives Out (2019)

Who killed Christopher Plummer? Rian Johnson writes and directs this twisty whodunnit where solving the murder is only half the story, and like all great detective fiction, there are layers to the mystery which keep you guessing. Daniel Craig (donning a thick Southern drawl) heads the investigation as famed detective Beniot Blanc, the Poirot of the South. It's an enormously entertaining ride, filled with twists and turns, humor and heart, and a deeply tangled web, featuring an all-star cast all on their A-game. Satisfying from top to bottom.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006)

Screened exactly twice in 2006 and 2011, this year finally marks the official wide release of the complete work, restoring it back to Tarantino's original unified vision, before it was insisted on being split into two volumes at the behest of Miramax's Harvey Weinstein. The result is a four-hour martial arts/exploitation/samurai epic (plus 15 minute intermission) with pacing that flows better as one cohesive whole, with some of the fat trimmed out of it.

Watching this 20 years after the fact in a packed theater makes it clear how well the material ages. Enormously entertaining and never boring, it's an homage to all the greats of the past, blending so many disparate styles in a pastiche of Americana, which doesn't take away from the artists it so liberally borrows from. As the ultimate revenge story (summed up in the title), it favors style over substance, but the mission is clear and the emotions are real: You're with The Bride every step of the way. It's not without its flaws, but there's no denying this is Cinema; there aren't many filmmakers left making epics of this caliber. To put it even more bluntly, this is just a cool fucking film with iconic visuals and a killer soundtrack. And Uma Thurman looks damn good doing it.

Note: Exclusive to this 2025 print is a new chapter entitled "Yuki's Revenge," which was animated using the Unreal Engine, with Uma performing the voice acting and motion capture. Luckily, this is tacked on at the end of the credits and doesn't interrupt the flow of the film. You can view it in its entirety here.

Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025)

Sisu meets Mad Max: Fury Road. The one-man army is back and this time they send a Soviet officer (Stephen Lang) to finish him off. It's more of the same, but somehow I appreciated the theatrics a lot more, especially one such sequence on a train that kept building. It's completely stylish, over the top and bonkers.

Sisu (2022)

Deep within the Finnish Lapland, an old prospector strikes upon gold, but the Nazis try to steal it from him and the tough old coot won't go down without a fight. It's a largely wordless action flick with all the fat cut out of it. Basically, revenge distilled to raw, primal violence. It's rather repetitive in its string of brutal slaughter, but one never tires of seeing baddies get their just desserts.

2½ land mines out of 5

Anemone (2025)

Daniel Day-Lewis briefly comes out of retirement for his first film role since 2017's Phantom Thread. It's a gloomy drama about a hermit living in the woods that is visited by his estranged brother who tries to get him to make amends. What this mostly amounts to are a lot of slooow monologues set against the backdrop of gorgeous natural landscapes accompanied by ambient music. It's brooding and insistent, and there are some interesting visual sequences, but it doesn't really go anywhere worthwhile throughout the entirety of its 2-hour journey. The performances are standout, but that's not nearly my issue with it.

2 hailstorms out of 5

Dead of Winter (2025)

A grieving woman travels alone to a remote frozen lake in snowy Minnesota, stopping at a cabin to ask for directions but inadvertently stumbling into a low rent kidnapping plot. It's a very slow burn survival story, but packed with raw emotion and intense performances. Emma Thompson and Judy Greer do the heavy lifting and make the most out of this low-budget suspense thriller.

3 green tackleboxes out of 5

Keeper (2025)

A couple spending a romantic weekend at a secluded cabin in the woods find more than they bargained for. Weirdness and creepiness permeates every frame of this film. Does it all pay off in the end? Maybe or maybe not, but it's memorable in that way that good horror tends to stick around in the edges of your subconscious. Tatiana Maslany gives an insanely watchable performance.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025)

After a hole opens up in her ceiling, a put upon woman is forced to relocate to a shoddy motel with her ailing daughter. This dark psychological drama really put me on edge. It's a good approximation of being alive, where people are demanding and you're trying your best, but it's never good enough. You're constantly being criticized and made to feel bad for your choices, while you try to find support but there's none to be found. This actually feels like a great companion piece to Die My Love or Nightbitch. In short, motherhood sucks.
