Toy Story 5
5.5/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 I’m a little late to the game with this review, mostly because I was looking through my camera roll and suddenly realized I completely forgot to write it. Oops! Toy Story 5 is a pleasant and surprisingly meaningful story that transcends generations to deliver a message that feels important for all of us: don’t let devices…

The Invite
7/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 The Invite is a great film that is extremely stressful, seriously funny, and deeply human. The all-star cast might be the best ensemble I’ve seen all year. Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton are perfectly cast, and the intimacy of spending nearly the entire film with just these four characters makes…

Supergirl
5/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 I don’t get what’s going on. Here we have another strong film that people aren’t showing up for, and I really hope that changes over the holiday weekend. Supergirl is visually fantastic, full of imagination, texture, and scale, even if the story itself does have some noticeable issues. First, the visuals. Craig Gillespie packs so many…

Minions & Monsters
6/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 Minions & Monsters was such a fun film to watch. I’ve always been a fan of the Despicable Me and Minions franchise, but this film may be my favorite so far. This movie felt like it was made for both film fanatics and comedy lovers. The first half of the film is packed with hidden gems that…

Backrooms
6/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 This movie is weird. Good weird. I vaguely remember the image that started it all in 2019 when a photo from 2002 went viral, but I don’t remember watching the YouTube videos from director Kane Parsons that eventually helped turn this eerie internet nightmare into a blockbuster film. Either way, I think this film…

Disclosure Day
6.5/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 I was going to watch Disclosure Day again before writing this review, but after thinking about it for a week I found myself compelled to base this on my first watch, not a second. The film has been replaying in my head for about a week, and I’m happy to say it has become one…

Obsession
6/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 Obsession has already become a cultural phenomenon, and depending on how the rest of the year goes, if it remains a standout, it might even become a cult classic. The film features breakthrough performances from Inde Navarrette as Nikki Freeman and Michael Johnston as Bear. Cinematically, the film feels indie, but also textured and well…

Scary Movie 6
5/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 Scary Movie 6 is not for everyone, and honestly, that might be exactly why it works. This movie feels made for the OG fans, the ones who grew up with the franchise, know the horror references, and appreciate when a joke goes completely off the rails. It is definitely not mainstream, but for horror fans,…

Masters of the Universe
5/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 While the hype is real and I definitely found it to be a fun ride, two big things stood out to me. First, why was there no barrier in the cop car when he grabbed the sword? Second, why did we not (dare I say it) get more Skeletor scenes? I get that…

The Mandalorian & Grogu
6/7 🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩 People are mean… that’s what I have to say about the haters, because this film rocks! It feels exactly like what it was meant to be: a summer blockbuster with characters we love saying goodbye to a series we loved. It was action-packed, overloaded with cuteness, and had one of the best scores I’ve…
