Enjoy your spots while you can…because when LILO & STITCH drops, it’s surfing in to top them all.

BRING HER BACK is artfully crafted and impeccably acted—especially by Sally Hawkins—but so unrelenting in its depiction of child suffering that it may test even the most hardened horror fans. My review: fastfilmreviews.com/2025/05/21/bri… OFCS

The biplane finale in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING is Cruise at his most unhinged, defying death at 10,000 feet. It rips. But the road there is derailed by flashbacks and endless exposition. When it flies, it soars—but it’s a mid-tier mission.

My ranking of the Mission: Impossible releases 1. Fallout (2018) 2. Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) 3. Rogue Nation (2015) 4. Ghost Protocol (2011) 5. The Final Reckoning (2025) 6. Mission: Impossible III (2006) 7. Mission: Impossible (1996) 8. Mission: Impossible II (2000)

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING really takes its time on explanations and exposition, but when the two action setpieces arrive, they more than deliver. My review: fastfilmreviews.com/2025/05/29/mis… OFCS

Yes, it's another live-action Disney remake—but what sets LILO & STITCH apart is how much the cast adds to the story. This version finds new emotional depth in familiar characters. My review: fastfilmreviews.com/2025/06/01/lil… OFCS

Everyone said THE LIFE OF CHUCK would emotionally destroy me. It didn’t. But Tom Hiddleston dancing? Devastating in the best way.

Every TIFF People’s Choice winner since Silver Linings Playbook (2012) has landed a Best Picture Oscar nom. THE LIFE OF CHUCK is the most recent winner—so yeah, it's obviously getting nominated. No doubt. No debate. Totally locked in.

Keanu Reeves is cinematic Febreze — walk him into any “stinker” and it becomes a cult classic.

KARATE KID: LEGENDS features actor Ben Wang, a star with heart and presence, but he’s sadly stuck in a movie that has been assembled on a corporate conveyor belt. My review: fastfilmreviews.com/2025/06/05/kar… OFCS

If you’ve ever wanted to live inside a diorama of dry wit and pastel paranoia, THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME offers more of the same—all fastidiously arranged by Wes Anderson. My review: fastfilmreviews.com/2025/06/11/the… OFCS

Just realized how much Taming of the Shrew energy is in HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. Astrid was not feeling Hiccup—until that epic ride on Toothless. The movie is stunningly imagined.

THE LIFE OF CHUCK is a vague scrapbook of fortune-cookie wisdom—with one unforgettable moment that truly soars. My review: fastfilmreviews.com/2025/06/03/the… OFCS

Pixar's ELIO is a touching animated adventure with lessons that are easy to spot. They pile up like stars in the sky. My review: fastfilmreviews.com/2025/06/19/eli… OFCS

i honestly can't wrap my head around the concept of continously showing somebody who is standing STILL when there's somebody doing literal FLIPS around them like— i wanna say Denali was ROBBED but we barely got to SEE her? 😭😭😭 #DragRace #AllStars10

Saying ELIO bombed because of “lack of marketing” is rubbish. The trailer was the marketing. People saw it and said “nah.” You can’t advertise your way out of that. If folks aren’t interested, no amount of billboards or hashtags is going to change their minds.
