House Maid 2025

The Housemaid (2025), directed by Paul Feig and based on Freida McFadden’s novel, is a glossy, twist-heavy psychological thriller that revives the steamy 90s erotic-thriller vibe. Sydney Sweeney plays Millie, a parolee hired as live-in help for the wealthy Winchester family, led by the glamorous but volatile Nina (Amanda Seyfried). What starts as tense class drama in a stunning mansion quickly unravels into secrets, manipulation, and danger, delivered with brisk pacing and addictive pulp energy.

Seyfried steals the show with her manic, scene-chewing Nina, while Sweeney anchors the film as the quietly resilient Millie. Their charged dynamic, plus solid support from Brandon Sklenar, fuels sharp commentary on power, gaslighting, and privilege—though some twists arrive predictably.

The production shines: sleek, opulent visuals contrast with escalating chaos, and the cinematography smartly amplifies tension and isolation. The tone swings between serious suspense and gleeful absurdity, especially in the wild third act, landing several satisfying shocks and a bonkers finale.

Overall, The Housemaid is juicy, sexy, violent fun—unapologetically trashy with a feminist bite. It’s not perfect (some plot turns feel forced, and it runs a touch long), but the strong leads, wicked humor, and sheer entertainment value make it a standout guilty-pleasure thriller.

Marty Supreme

Marty Supreme (2025), directed by Josh Safdie, is a frenetic sports comedy-drama starring Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a ruthless, fast-talking table tennis hustler in 1950s New York chasing ping-pong greatness at any cost. Loosely inspired by Marty Reisman, the film pulses with Uncut Gems-style energy—manic pacing, anachronistic music, and a globe-trotting quest fueled by deception and raw talent. Chalamet delivers a magnetic, nerve-rattling performance as the abrasive yet captivating antihero.

The movie thrives on kinetic direction, vivid period production design, and Chalamet’s tour-de-force lead turn. Supporting players like Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, and eclectic cameos add flavor to the chaotic world of mid-century hustles. Safdie weaves sharp commentary on ambition, class, and self-mythology into explosive rallies and dark humor, though the relentless intensity and unlikeable protagonist can feel exhausting or narratively loose.

Overall, Marty Supreme is a bold, polarizing thrill ride—electrifying and immersive for fans of its chaotic style and Chalamet’s brilliance, but potentially overwhelming or shallow for those wanting tighter plotting or warmer characters. It’s divisive, unforgettable, and leaves you buzzing one way or another.

Oscar Shaw

Oscar Shaw movie about a man who’s a retired police officer goes to a bar consistently every day meet up with his best friend Tyrese Gibson‘s character and from there we see kind of a generic black film of a cop looking for revenge after some hood dude decided to kill a cop former cop and we just have Michael Jai  White trying to do some bad ass stuff. Take care of a child from the hood and then has to do all this vigilante stuff behind the cops back without getting caught. I say the movie is a two out of five compared to other films I’ve seen from Michael White. It was a paint by numbers but some entertaining moments but I’ve seen better and I’m more of enjoying Michael Jackson when he’s fighting more than gun play maybe it could be his age, but the movie was just OK. Wasn’t anything raving about the solid two out of five?

Goat

GOAT deserves $1B and a franchise.

Sony Animation (Spider-Verse, K-Pop: Demon Hunters) crafts another bold, original universe: gritty anthropomorphic animals in a world of class divides and roarball—a brutal, co-ed sport dominated by bigger animals.

Stunning animation: lush painterly visuals, inventive designs, fashion, and explosive action that tops Zootopia.

Classic underdog tale elevated by heartfelt teamwork, unity, and real sports parallels (team sales, aging stars), plus quiet inclusivity via strong female players.

Sharp humor (character, pop culture, animal gags) and excellent voice cast: Caleb McLaughlin leads, Gabrielle Union shines, with Nick Kroll, Jenifer Lewis, Aaron Pierre, Patton Oswalt, and more.

Minor flaws: some crude kid jokes, rushed third act, predictable arc.

Bottom line: Rocks. Early best-animated contender of 2026; fresh and franchise-ready. 9/10

How to make a Killing

How to make a killing is released in theaters and no one knows about it. Did it make a sound I saw how to make a killing so here’s the good and the bad spoilers look on paper how to make a killing sounds great. It was written and directed by John Patton Ford, who made the awesome Aubrey Plaza crime thriller Emily the criminal it Starz Glenn Powell as a man who has to bump off his billionaire relatives to get an inheritance. He’s been screwed out of and it’s got a stack supporting cast of funny people and heavy hitting actors unfortunately for me, this is the first big disappointment of the year first, let’s say what’s good about the movie. It’s got a great title and premise the double meaning of how to make a killing is genius and I can’t believe no one‘s made a movie with that title previously also the premise is clever and should’ve led to a lot of fun and excitement. Likewise, the supporting cast is dynamite Zach Woods and Topher Grace are hilarious and their minor appearances Bill camping at Harris brings some necessary weight to the proceedings while Margaret quality adds necessary intrigue she really brings the movie to life then I’ll give John Patton Ford some credit for a couple of smart uses of dramatic, irony, and how he subtly shows the passage of time, but overall, I felt that the strong talent and promising premise were mostly wasted. This type of story needs punch style, and a playful, dark sense of humor, but far too much of it was too serious and dry. The filmmaking was mostly gene
