If a studio does not want to have reviews ahead of a film's embargo, such as Clayface, maybe don't host a public screening with paid tickets ahead of that date.
Crazy thought, I know.

WILDWOOD is incredible. Every fiber of the film is creative, inventive, and emotional. It’s a world you’ll want to be lost in long after the credits roll.
The third act alone is easily one of the greatest achievements in modern cinema—and I don’t say that lightly.

My day is ruined.
The iconic Bigfoot video from 1967 is officially confirmed to be a hoax after new archival footage was found for an upcoming documentary.

WHALEFALL is incredibly intense and will have you holding your breath the whole time.
Austin Abrams is fantastic and completely sells his imminent peril at every moment.
I know it’s cliché to say, but you have to see this in theaters for the sound design alone—it’s next level.

This is an embarrassing piece. And that’s putting it lightly.

IN A VIOLENT NATURE 2 is easily one of the most violent movies I’ve ever seen, with some gnarly kills.
Fans of the first movie will be pleased with the carnage.
This time around the focus is less on Johnny’s POV and more on a character-centric approach through a camper.

BEWARE BOIÚNA is an absolutely wonderful creature feature.
Director Mike P. Nelson does an incredible job creating tension, subverting expectations, and giving a visceral experience—with one hell of a killer snake.
Jessica Rothe and Kiana Madeira are still iconic scream queens.

RESIDENT EVIL is clearly made by someone who loves the games.
Austin Abrams is incredible, and once the movie starts, it never lets up. It is funnier than I expected, but still has some legit scares.
There are plenty of monsters for fans to sink their teeth into as well.

FORGOTTEN ISLAND is an insanely chaotic and endearing film brimming with energy in every moment.
The film has such a vibrant soul, fueled by its wonderfully creative animation style, culminating into a story offering a powerful celebration of friendship.

HEART OF THE BEAST is guaranteed to remind you why dogs are man’s best friend, and become a key supporting argument for why you need one in your life.

I was pleasantly surprised with BY ANY MEANS.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Mark Wahlberg are the life of the film. Their dynamic and performances excel at every turn.
Sure, the movie may be telling a familiar story, but when done well, that’s far from a bad thing.

Congratulations to HELLRAISER for having the most disturbing looking piece of food at all of Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights!

LANTERNS is easily my favorite project in the DCU so far.
The character work is phenomenal, and truly is the core of the show.
Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler are the perfect picks for John Stewart and Hal Jordan—and their dynamic is endlessly entertaining.

Genuinely so sad that Tom Pelphrey no longer seems to be in the running for Professor Xavior in #XMen.
He would have been the perfect choice. ☹️
But rumors can be wrong! That’s my daily dose of copium.

SDCC #7: ✅
San Diego Comic-Con is always the event I most look forward to during the year, and 2026 didn’t disappoint. I got to see tons of cool things, was spoiled with awesome events, and spent time around wonderful people.
What more can you ask for?

Absolutely unreal to attend the world premiere of a Spider-Man film. It truly is a Brand New Day after all.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is a completely fresh, unique, and intimate Spidey story.
The use of Punisher (and Hulk) is perfect, and the duo’s dynamic is incredible.
This is also the best Spider-Man has ever looked in action, like he swung straight out of the comic pages.
