I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) review

 


I was never a big fan of the original I Know What You Did Last Summer if I'm being honest. In terms of slasher movies it was a ways down the list paling in comparison to let's say Scream. With that being said it's not almost 30 years later and the Fisherman gets a reboot / sequel hybrid that tells a very similar story with legacy characters peppered in for good measure. If you've seen the original you know the story here, a group of friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident on July 4th. They flee the scene after calling the police and paramedics leaving beind a grisly scene. A year passes and so begins a wave of violence and tragedy as each friend is stalked and picked off one by one. 

I always feel that characters are the most important part of a movie like this. A slasher needs likable characters you want to root for to survive and well this movie may have some of the worst characters I've ever seen. All really terrible people full of cringey dialogue and really ill timed comedic moments. Madelyn Cline is the stereoptypical 'queen' of the group and her performance is flat, uninspired and so very bland. The same can be said for everyone else here including returning characters like Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr who do little to nothing to help elevate everything else around them. Also the lack of any police activity and the lack of wanting to help the victims was so beyond odd that it was just bewildering to watch unfold.


I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025 is a poor, poor slasher. Besides a pretty decent twist it is so cringe worthy, full of lame kills and characters that border / cross over into becoming so annoying it's hard to take at times. I really didn't enjoy my time with this movie at all and who knows what the future holds for the franchise but as of right now it's pretty much dead and buried as far as I'm concerned.

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
