Predator: Killer of Killers is now streaming on Hulu and if you have not gotten a chance to watch this incredible film yet, do not read any further. While the whole movie is high octane and a ton of fun, there are a lot of Easter eggs thrown in at the end that make me think we absolutely must be getting an animated sequel. Without too many details (in case those of you that have not watched are still reading), we see some fan favorite characters. Knowing that this movie pits those who have killed Predators before against one another, there could (and should) be an epic return to this world with those beloved characters. Count me all the way in, if so.

My immediate reaction to hearing the price of Mario Kart World is $80 made me wonder if it was going to be worth it - but it didn't take long for me to realize it absolutely is. Made exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2, the graphics are gorgeous, the gameplay is flawless, and the upgrades from the other Mario Karts add a lot of great elements to the game. I have been playing basically non-stop since I got the game, and I have not had this much fun in a while. It is a fantastic game and absolutely worth picking up to accompany your Nintendo Switch 2!

From The World Of John Wick: Ballerina is in theaters now and while it delivers on the signature John Wick action sequences, the story leaves a lot to be desired. It is extremely predictable. There is a "twist" but most viewers will see it coming from a mile away. Ana de Armas does what she can to make the film work, but even with all the fight scenes, it feels dull at times. That said, I would love to see her come back as Eve - just with a better story next time around.

The Life Of Chuck is a beautiful and deeply moving film that is filled to the brim with an insanely talented cast. It offers a deep exploration of the important things in life - friendship, family, and human interactions. We are all going to die one day, so it is important to make the most of our time while we are here. This movie blends genres, and, to be quite honest, it had me crying my entire drive home after leaving the theater. It will be ed as one of the greats. If you can see it on the big screen, I highly recommend doing so.

If you are wondering if Dangerous Animals is worth seeing in theaters, all I really need to say it is a movie following a serial killer who feeds his victims to sharks. That should be enough to make you want to see it on the biggest screen possible. In all honesty, though, it truly is a great movie. It is a ton of fun, and Jai Courtney is having the time of his life. This one is a blast to go see with a bunch of friends in a packed theater. Don't miss the experience of the year.

Not every genre or medium is for every person, but there are a lot of incredible stories told in anime form that I believe people should at least give a chance. While Attack on Titan and Dan Da Dan immediately come to mind, those series can certainly be more intense for those who are not anime fans. If I was to recommend a show that I believe even those who claim to not enjoy anime will like, it would have to be My Hero Academia. The world in and of itself is captivating and exciting, but the grounded, down-to-Earth stories that are told boil down to the classic good versus evil, which everyone can resonate with. 

HBO Max's Station Eleven might just be one season, but it is a complete series that tells an intriguing and exciting post-apocalyptic story. To say that I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish is not an exaggeration. It tells the story of several survivors of a devastating flu, spanning multiple timelines, but is easy to follow and understand. If you somehow missed this amazing Sci-Fi series, I cannot recommend it enough. 

Ridley Scott's Raised By Wolves has a high Rotten Tomatoes score for a reason. I was a big fan of the show while it was on and was devastated when it was canceled. I love a good Science Fiction that is able to offer a unique take on things and that is exactly what this series does. Even though you are likely to fall in love with it and get annoyed that there is not more, I cannot recommend streaming the first two seasons on HBO Max enough. You will thank me! 

The Man In My Basement teaser trailer offers more than enough of the story to have me super intrigued. As someone who did not read the book, I have no idea what is happening, but I cannot wait to find out. Willem Dafoe is perfectly creepy, and I would probably take his money too if he offered to pay me that much a day, but something is clearly not right here. I worry that a full trailer will reveal too much and take away from the surprises, so if Hulu releases one, I will skip watching it so that I can go into the movie knowing next to nothing about it.

With a title like Kiss of the Spider Woman, I expected the film to be a horror movie. I knew nothing about it at all going into the trailer, which seems to prove that this is absolutely not the case. That said, it drew me in, and now it is one of my most anticipated movies for the second half of the year. Diego Luna is always incredible, as he is insanely talented, so surely he will be amazing in this movie, and Jennifer Lopez sure can sing. Something about the cuts between the musical (which must be in the main character's head) and the devastating life they are living has me very, very intrigued. I cannot wait.

Tom Felton has announced that he is reprising his role as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway and I could not be any more excited. Felton is incredible in the role, and I am very excited to see him revisit this character at a much different point in his life. This version of Draco is a father and even gets along with Harry Potter. They have some touching moments together that I just know Felton will nail. Hopefully I can get out to New York to see it.

This year is just about half over, and it has already given us so many great movies. There have been major box office hits, like Disney's Lilo & Stitch live-action remake, and incredible movies that completely flew under the radar, like Companion. Marvel's Thunderbolts* is a fantastic movie. A return to form for Marvel that not only feels grounded, but is unafraid to explore mental health in a way that needs to be seen on the big screen. Unfortunately, it is considered a box office flop, not earning enough to make its budget back, which seems ridiculous to me. But if I had to pick the most underrated movie, it would be Companion. This original horror movie is phenomenal. It has great lead performances from Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher, an intriguing and relatable story, and is an absolute blast. I hate that people slept on it.

There have already been some truly incredible horror films released in 2025, with another one right around the corner. As we approach the release of 28 Years Later, I started thinking about all the amazing horrors that we have had so far this year. From Companion (which too many people slept on), to Drop, to the newly released Bring Her Back, fans of horror have been eating good (no pun intended if you have seen Bring Her Back). As much as I love all of these movies, it is Sinners that immediately comes to mind as the best so far. It is a genre-bending, brilliant film packed with unforgettable performances. 

Blumhouse announced this morning that they have a sequel in the works for their 2019 horror film, Ma. Octavia Spencer is set to reprise her role as the terrifying Ma, and honestly, I cannot wait. Spencer is phenomenal in the first movie, and I am sure she will be just as good in the sequel. While we do not have any idea what the story is yet, I completely trust Blumhouse, as they often nail their follow-up films.

I love reality television because it is something I can turn my brain off and enjoy while watching. There isn't really anything to critique, although it is fun to yell at people making terrible decisions. While I really enjoy the competition shows, like The Challenge, my guilty pleasure lies in the dating series. There are lots of great ones, from Love Is Blind to the new show, Sneaky Links. However, Temptation Island has to be my favorite of the bunch. I simply do not understand going on a show and surrounding yourself, and your partner, with a bunch of hot singles. What do you think is going to happen? There is a reason not many couples make it out unscathed. 

Taylor Swift now officially owns all of her music. Every single thing she has ever written. For me, this news instantly meant guilt-free listening of Reputation, one of my favorite albums of hers. She wasn't wrong when she said that there was no way to improve it, not to mention, I understand not wanting to sing love songs about your ex over and over again. While I honestly do love every single Taylor's Version song, I have found myself listening to the original version of Better Than Revenge quite a bit since May 30th. I don't mind the lyric change, but I do prefer the original line.

Blumhouse has three sequels coming out later this year: M3gan 2.0, Five Nights At Freddy's 2, and Black Phone 2. I can honestly say that I am looking forward to all three of them, and will absolutely be seeing them all in theaters. My kids are most looking forward to FNAF 2 because they are huge fans of the games, but I have to it that for me, it is M3gan 2.0. I really love the first film, it perfectly blends horror and comedy, and just adore Violet McGraw. I am also intrigued by the fact that M3gan is now friend not foe. 

At Netflix's TUDUM 2025 event, some of the cast of Stranger Things came on stage to show fans some of their favorite clips from throughout the years, as well as announce the release dates for the parts of Season 5. It was crazy to see just how young they all were when this first started, and fun to take a walk down memory lane. The release dates are pretty close together, essentially surrounding the holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. This is brilliant because it means that people are off of work and school and will have the time to invest in binging all three parts. When I saw that part 2 was releasing on Christmas, I thought for a second that the finale might not squeeze into this year, but Netflix was able to set it to release on New Year's Eve, so it just barely makes it. This is a brilliant way of making it not feel too long for fans, because even that one day change, making it 2026, makes it feel infinitely longer until we see the end of an era.

Netflix's TUDUM 2025 this past weekend revealed a lot of exciting information. We saw a bunch of trailers and finally got some highly anticipated release dates. Not to mention, a whole lot of talented people showed up in the same room to promote their respective projects. While I cannot wait for Squid Game Season 3, and I am eagerly awaiting the end of Stranger Things (I hope no one else dies, although I am sure that is wishful thinking), it is One Piece Season 2 that has me the most excited because of one character - Tony Tony Chopper. I love Chopper and after the look we got of him in action, it is clear that he is going to translate to live-action beautifully.

Guillermo del Toro ittedly has been obsessed with the story of Frankenstein for some time, so for him to finally be able to channel his ion into a movie telling that story is extremely exciting as a big fan of his. He is a visionary master, there is no doubt about that. I know that he is going to nail this movie already, but after watching the teaser that was released during TUDUM, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind. I truly cannot wait. From the casting choices, to the aesthetic, this one will be great. I just know it.
