Weapons review


From Director Zach Cregger of Barbarian fame comes Weapons one of the most visceral, heart pounding horror movies of the year. The story is quite peculiar as one night at 2:17 am in the morning an entire classroom (except one student) just up and run of their homes vanishing into the night. Right off the bat we've got a fascinating mystery and one that unravels, and unravels in more and more unbelievable ways as the movie progresses. I for one loved Zach Cregger's movie as long term readers of this blog surely remember it was one of my favorite movies of the year a few years back. Well it's safe to say that Weapons will be high up on my favorite list this year as it is bold, intense and utterly captivating cinema. 

Performance wise it is pretty much flawless with Josh Brolin and Julia Garner putting in incredible feats of acting both playing pretty troubled and flawed characters. Not to mention how this narrative is told as it tells it's story from each main characters perspective before all culminating in one of the most bonkers third acts I've seen in quite some time. 


So the question remains then. Is Weapons just all hype as I myself was led to believe before seeing it?? well it most definitely warrants every single bit of hype around it and then some. Zach Cregger is one of the most brilliantly talented horror Directors working today and much like Barbarian this is utterly mind bending stuff. It's tension filled script is full of tension, laughs and scares. Weapons needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible but be warned it is not for the faint of heart. One of 2025's best!

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.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up. It begins on Day 391 of No Man's Land as the final battle for Gotham comes to a head as Captain Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Riddler and even Penguin all suit up and get loaded for combat as all men led by many more GCPD officers open fire from a top a massive wall as Jim Gordon says ''For Gotham'' this of course is going to be the end of the season but let's go all the way back to day 87 of No Man's Land where we see Gordon talking to someone on a radio.

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...
