Scary Movie (2026) review

 

The gang is back together, The Wayans Brothers have got their baby back and boy has it been a long time coming. After their absence from Scary Movies 3-5 they’re back both in front of and behind the camera. The original movie will always hold a special place in my heart as one of my all time favorite comedy movies be they parody or otherwise. The premise this time around is akin to the original as the Ghostface killer is back to try and kill Cindy Campell (Anna Faris) and her now two children. It's goofy, it's silly and full of blood, guts and titties but man is this just an absolute riot. 

Nothing is safe from being made fun of, from Scream, Halloween, Get Out and more the list goes on and on heck even K-Pop Demon Hunters gets it's own full animated spotlight in a very on brand way. As for the pacing sure it does have it's issues with some scenes really adding nothing to the overall narrative which in itself isn't exactly anything compelling but that's the point here truly. If you want good storytelling go elsewhere as jokes fill the screen time after time almost at a constant rate and while some don't hit for the most part they really do leading to one of my favorite theatre experiences this year. 


Scary Movie isn't going to be for everyone obviously as if you didn't like the originals then you won't like this it's simple as really. If you are a fan however there is more than enough here to entertain you and boy did I laugh and laugh hard at times. The Wayans Brothers are back and comedy cinema is back in business!

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.

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...
