The End of Oak Street (2026)
This movie was a blast through and through. Interesting choices throughout, really felt like I didn't know where it was going. Would have loved a Disasterpeace collab again for the music.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026)
I've been chewing on this one all day. What a flick. In the same vein of "I Saw The TV Glow", I was absorbed the entire runtime by the aesthetics, the music, the visuals, and the performances. By the end, it wasn't immediately obvious to me what had just happened. The film seems made for those who had their awakenings from slasher films as children - captured in the 80s-esque camp aesthetic that Jane Schoenbrun used in "I Saw The TV Glow" as well. But, underneath, is a more hopeful film about letting go of shame and learning to feel desire. It's beautiful, off-putting, and much funnier than the previous film as well. Really enjoyed it through and through.

Absolute blast of a movie that was funny, sweet, and smart.

Backrooms (2026)
After watching again, my issues remain the same. The performances are strong, the overall aesthetic is incredible (music, sets, props, costumes). The third act just still feels very disjointed (not uncommon for horror movies) and leaves me feeling disappointed by the end. I’ll still be back for more if and when it happens.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)
A worthy continuation of Peter’s story from No Way Home. Sadie Sink is an incredible addition and unsurprisingly delivers alongside Tramell Tillman and Jon Bernthal. I was concerned the movie would be overstuffed but it wonderfully juggles the cast and storylines with sharp pacing, emotional beats, great performances and awesome action. Favourite MCU movie of the last few years by far.

Backrooms (2026)
Loved the set design, loved the uneasiness of parts of the film. A middling second act and an abrupt ending left me wanting more… but not because it piqued my interest but because it felt half-baked. Lots of great stuff here but needed more time in the oven.

Obsession (2025)
Worth every bit of hype I read about it. An absolute blast of a time. The kind of movie that makes you feel unsettled and icky after watching (but in the fun way!)

Normal (2025)
Bob Odenkirk’s transition into action star is always a blast to watch. This movie is no exception. Is it stupid? Yes. Does it have anything deep to say? No. Is it fun? Absolutely.
