Somehow I missed the fact that Sam Raimi directed this film. If I had known that Raimi was involved I think I would have moved this a little higher up on the list (not to mention a score by Danny Elfman as well!). Sure I was partially interested when I saw the casting of Rachel…

Hokum (2026) – Damian McCarthy
Wow did I love this one. It has also moved up McCarthy’s other films, Caveat and Oddity up on my To Watch list. This was a wonderful little horror movie that totally got under my skin and was just wonderfully creepy. It’s all mood, tone, and framing, and it works so well. Adam Scott plays…
Masters of the Universe (2026) – Travis Knight
First off, I quite enjoyed this one. It’s a fun popcorn movie that doesn’t take itself to seriously, and leans into its inherently fun nature. That being said, I had a couple of miscasts that kind of knocked me out of the film on occasion. I adore Allison Brie. But I feel she was completely…
Hoppers (2026) – Daniel Chong
This is my kind of Pixar movie. As much as I love a good Toy Story, I find that Pixar does it best when it explores new territory, and Hoppers definitely does that. We are introduced to Mabel Tanaka (Piper Curda), who, thanks to her Grandmother’s (Karen Huie) love and attention, has learned the importance…
The Mummy (2026) – Lee Cronin
I wanted to like Cronin’s Mummy movie. I really did, as I really dug his Evil Dead Rise. What he delivers with this take on The Mummy is disappointing if taken as a Mummy movie. If it had simply been rebranded and made a spin-off within the new Evil Dead franchise, it would have worked….
The Sheep Detectives (2026) – Kyle Balda
The Sheep Detectives is a charming murder mystery with a bit of a twist. Based on the novel Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann, the film features a fun cast and a great take on the traditional British murder mystery. Despite featuring a murder, this ends up being delightful family fare and an engaging mystery….
The Midnight Train (2026) – Matt Haig
Matt Haig seems to have a predilection for tales about death and reimagining of one’s life choices to find a better way to live, love, and be well… better. I was given an advanced reading copy of Haig’s latest novel, The Midnight Train, but it sat for awhile on my To Be Read pile (like…
War Machine (2026) – Patrick Hughes
Alan Ritchson leads a group of fellow soldiers, all determined to be Rangers, in a fierce battle with an otherworldly presence. Ritchson has proven himself to be an enjoyable performer, and is working at refining his acting skills (and they are improving), and Hughes who not only directed the film but had a hand in…
Cold Storage (2026) – Jonny Campbell
David Koepp has his fingerprints on some of the biggest movies ever, he’s scripted some very succesful films. You know he can tell a story. His novel, Cold Storage has been on my to be read shelf for quite some time now. So long that it seems he’s had time to make a movie version…
Fringe (2011) – The Last Sam Weiss, and The Day We Died
While Peter (Joshua Jackson) remains in a coma, watched over by Walter (John Noble) and Astrid (Jasika Nicole), the strange destructive events continue and Olivia (Anna Torv) teams up with Sam Weiss (Kevin Corrigan) to find a way to outsmart the Device and allow Peter to stop it. Written by Monica Owusu-Breen and Alison Schapker…
