Please Don't Feed The Children

 

Steven Spielberg's daughter Destry Spielberg has directed a horror film on Tubi. It's solid, a step above most Shudder films, but still quite generic. There are glimpses of her dad but ultimately it's still quite by the numbers  

Warfare

 

Alex Garland is an amazing filmmaker, and when he retired with Civil War, he ended on a fantastic note. Then Warfare came along and, boom he is once again directing....or co directing and damn, had he not been attached i may have skipped this but luckily he is and what we got was an intense & tight 90 minutes that is quiet for a great period and explosive aswell. 

War of the Worlds

 

File War of the Worlds under films Noone wanted a remake of. 2005 Spieldberg tried it,  and it was fine. Now we get a zoom call version where shit that should take days takes minutes and everyone seems to be able to quickly learn how to hack and compound medicine.  The acting is awful and this felt like an asylum film.

It's Always Sunny

 

2025 is the year comedy returned to film but on TV, the gold standard keeps on kicking ass and that ass is......the gold standard......which is It's Always Sunny. As fucked up as ever, as reflective as ever, with alot of heart, especially in the finale. 

Nobody 2

 

When Nobody came out in 2021 it was a gift during the pandemic era. A quiet family man forced back into the crime world by taking down the mob. It felt perfect for a sequel and now we have it. Nobody 2 is fun and bloody and the cast is having a blast. The plotbis thin but the action sequences are top notch. Definitely could go for thirds.

Jimmy & Stiggs

 

Joe Begos latest film is just as badass as his last. Super simple premise and execution in filmmaking.  An alien invasion that takes place in an apartment, Joe Begos' own personal apartment. It's a neon drenched coke fueled tale of survival with plenty of gore and aliens that will make those of us that used to watch the Fox alien specials feel nostalgic.  

Killer of Killers

 Killer of Killers is a solid animated film. I feel many overhype animated adaptations of movies, comics and games these days if only cause people want to enjoy something other than by the numbers live action flicks. This here is on par with Prey, and it being from the same director makes sense. I dug the art style and the layout of the invasions over the years but the flick was kind of a throwaway, which it being an animated film, can't really throw a flag on it. I feel many films could benefit from going this route. With that said, bring on Badlands.
