Score: 6 / 10 Category: Movie (Anime) Platform: Streaming One-line verdict A non-canon spectacle that exists purely to deliver Fusion, peak-era animation, and nostalgia — flawed, messy, but still fun if you’re already in deep.

Score: 7 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Streaming One-line verdict A surprisingly successful revival that fully commits to absurdity and literal humour — as long as you leave your logical brain at home.

Score: 8 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: HBO Max One-line verdict A slow-burning, ominous descent into violence and faith that disguises its supernatural horror behind mood, history, and inevitability.

Score: 6 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: HBO Max One-line verdict A strange, messy, and oddly entertaining horror-comedy that feels like it’s making up its own rules as it goes — and somehow gets away with it. What worked * Going in blind helped. I didn’t expect the movie to be
Score: 5 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Disney+ One-line verdict Strong visuals let down by rushed storytelling, weak motivations, and an underwhelming portrayal of what should have been a god-tier villain.

Score: 9 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: Netflix One-line verdict An emotionally powerful, beautifully shot true story that earns every tear without resorting to cheap sentiment.

Score: 7 / 10 Category: Movie Platform: HBO Max One-line verdict A tightly paced psychological thriller that builds unease effectively and is elevated by a genuinely menacing performance from James McAvoy.

One-line verdict A pleasant surprise that blends mystery, thriller, and fantasy, and ends up being far more fun than it has any right to be. What worked * Going in blind really helped.
