The Review: Black Phone 2

Black Phone 2 (9/10)

This was a really good movie. After watching the first movie years ago and then more recently with my lady we found out that they were making a sequel which was confusing considering how the first movie ended. How in the hell could they begin to make another one? Turns out they could make a very good one. This takes place four years after the last movie in the early 80s. Finney is an angry ass kicker now. His dead friend Robin's brother Ernesto likes Finney's sister and invites her to a show. Finney's sister Gwen is having dreams about old murders happening in the woods from the 1950s. Gwen signs up as a camp counselor in training after discovering that her mother worked there when she was younger. Finney wants no part of this but decides to go. Its a super Christian camp. They get through this crazy ass storm and arrive. There are no kids there because of the snow storm.

The Review: Nobody 2

Nobody 2 (4/10)

Everything that made me enjoy the first Nobody movie is why I didn't like this sequel. It didn't need to happen. It felt almost beat for beat like the first film. I was jokingly saying to myself that “I bet there is some violent Home Alone trap at the end.” There was. This movie wasn't horrible or anything but I don't think it should have been made without some new ideas or a better story because the first movie was very entertaining. I just know that they will make another one of these with the same story except more than his wife will get involved. Meh.

The Review: His & Hers

His & Hers 9/10

All the spoilers. My lady and I watched this crazy ass six part series on Netflix recently. This lady named Anna returns to Atlanta to get her job back as a news anchor. The problem is that she has been missing for a year and someone else has the job now (naturally). Soon as she gets back there has been a murder in town of a well known woman named Rachel. Anna's estranged husband Jack is a detective in this place, Dahlonega, and is investigating with his new partner from Boston named Priya. So far we know that Anna knew Rachel and Jack was boning down with her. Rachel was married to a very well known business man. Oh, and when I said that Jack was boning down with Rachel I meant very recently as in the same night she was murdered. Rachel was stabbed 40 fucking times so whoever did it was not playing around.

The Review: Bugonia

Bugonia 8/10

All of the spoilers! Me and my lady watched this movie the other day. I didn't really know anything except a lady gets kidnapped and on the bus ads she looked greasy. This weird ass movie was super good. This starts off with this CEO named Michelle Fuller who runs a pharmaceutical place starting her day exercising, fight training, and jogging before heading to work and speaking corporate jargon. She did not come across as very likable. Just...there. We then head on over to Teddy and his cousin Don. They are beekeepers and training for something as well. Something sinister. Teddy won't stop talking about conspiracies and such and sounds way too much like people you can easily find online. He says an alien race known as Andromedans are killing the bees and forcing humanity into servitude.

The Review: King of The Zombies

King Of The Zombies 6/10

We stumbled upon this strange movie while just trying to find things to watch. This is just over an hour and a easy and odd watch. This pilot named Mac is up in the air with Bill Summers and Jefferson Jackson when he realizes that the plane is low on fuel and they can't get in contact with anyone. They get a faint signal and decide to land there. And by land there I mean completely crash the hell out of the plane. By the way, when Jefferson popped up on screen me and L both gasped at the same time “A Black!” Its a thing I do with old movies. Its rare to find one where a Black person isn't a servant in the background and has speaking roles. This movie had plenty of Black people which caught my ass off guard. They end up at this weird ass dudes place named Dr. Miklos Sangre and his wife. Jefferson knows some weird things are up and mentions zombies which was still a new term in 1941. He sees the Dr.'s wife doing some spooky shit one night and vanishes into a wall. Fast forward a whole lot of nothing really but some funny parts and the pilot gets his ass turned into a zombie and someone has ruined the plane so it really can't take off. During a ritual Mac gets the spell broken as the Dr. falls his goofy ass into some flames freeing all the other zombie folk. Maybe that is how zombie rules were back then. There was a cute maid named Samantha in this who looked like she time traveled.

The Review: The Old Guard 2

The Old Guard 2 (1/10)

I saw the first movie. It was fine. This one? This did not need to be made. I am not gonna recap this because this could have been the first maybe 20 minutes of the film but they had footage from the locations they filmed in and damn it they were gonna sue them. The team minus the traitor are tracking an arms dealer. The lady mentioned in the first movie is pulled from the sea and wants to destroy all humans. The oldest immortal is no longer immortal. Andy is still not immortal until she is because traitor man. Woman that was focus of first film is relegated to background character until she is needed to forward paper thin story. Fight scenes for no reason. Music nothing to write home about. This was just terrible in every sense. And then they have the nerve to threaten me with another sequel?! Hell no! This needs to just fade away.

The Review: All Her Fault

All Her Fault 10/10

This show had me and my lady in a headlock! She mentioned hearing about it and that it was good so we decided to check it out and within the first few minutes we had our jaws on the floor. The premise sounds simple: family has son that was kidnapped and they try to find him. No. This show has so much more than that and I want everyone to watch it but since its on Peacock maybe two people I know will have access to it. That is what sucks about that channel. They have like two good things a year you wanna watch and Olympics.

The Review: First Christmas

First Christmas 6/10

This movie was okay even though I still experienced rage while watching. This lady named Halle that was given up for adoption as a baby is a successful author going through writers block. She gets an invite to see her family for the first time in New Orleans. Her actual father has passed away and she is sent a DNA kit to use and confirm her heritage for a letter from his estate. She is hesitant but decides to give it a go. She gets a phone call from her grandmother aka Memaw. She heads to New Orleans and meets a bunch of confrontational psychos who are her family.

The Review: 24k Christmas/The Christmas Campaign

24k Christmas DNF/10

This movie was ass and me and my lady stopped about halfway through and didn't even bother finishing it. This lady makes jewelry and gets set up on a blind date. She belittles the guy with her clumsy ass and leaves him. He comes to her jewelry shop to pick up the rings for his friends wedding but she lost them because clumsy. Who gets married on Christmas Eve anyway? That is so inconsiderate to guests! They go searching for the rings and can't find them. We gave up because the lady was horrible which is a thing that these Christmas movies do now. They make women pretty (questionable) but with a shitty attitude for whatever reason but the guy still chases them down and they end up together. The end.

Best And Worst Of 2025

2025 was a year of things either being incredible or terrible. There were also some disappointments. I made this list of ten of the best things from this year and five of the worst. There were way more bad ones but I didn't want to make this a top twenty worst, because, yeah. Lot of stinkers. Gonna start with the best. You agree with me? Don't matter. Its my blog. Click the title of each of these to see my long review and ratings.

The Review: It Welcome To Derry Finale

It Welcome To Derry Finale 10/10

Holy crap this was an amazing series! Eight episodes and not one of them dragged or was useless which is how any show that isn't some twenty-something episode long series should be. Not one could be skipped. Damn. This starts off with a thick fog rolling across Derry and everyone like “What's happening here?” Except this one woman that is smiling all creepy like Pennywise. The military and their dumb asses are watching from their base tracking what is going down but doing nothing because this is what they wanted!

The Review: It Welcome To Derry Episode 7

It Welcome To Derry Episode 7

Well...shit. This was an incredible episode that broke my lady and thousands of others online. First it starts off with Bob Gray aka Pennywise the Clown minus the evil alien monster inside of him. Just a single father performing a live show for the children. The kids rush the stage after he is done. His daughter, who we know as Ingrid , says the kids loved the show which they did. Ingrid shows up in a clown costume of her own to surprise her father. He names her Periwinkle which is turns out was her mothers name. Also, later looking at the image from his sad show I noticed that the paintings on the wall were of his late wife. Later that night while smoking and drinking this kid emerges from the woods like “Kids like you.” Then there is a scream and the kid says its his mother. Bob Gray and the kid head into the woods. Later while looking for her father the carnival people hand Ingrid his bloody handkerchief that was found in the woods.

The Review: Fake Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Fake Yourself A Merry Little Christmas 2/10

This weekend my lady and I watched this movie. I didn't like it because of what I mentioned in my last post: thinking someone didn't deserve a happy ending. This lady Maya who is a teacher plans on spending the holidays alone since her mother is with her new man and meeting their family. She goes shopping and sees a guy she thinks is cute. She ends up dropping her phone and he picks it up. He heads outside to hand it to her and slips on some ice and is knocked out cold. He ends up in a coma and when she is in the waiting room with her terrible friend it turns out that the knocked out man's doctor is her ex boyfriend. Her best friend for no reason says that Maya is dating the unconscious man. Now everything is downhill from here. By the way, these OWN and Hallmark movies make it impossible to find images to use.

The Review: Christmas In The Clouds

Christmas In The Clouds 6/10

Still on the holiday train with my lady and I am starting to pick up this theme of where I don't like the main character and think they don't deserve a happy ending. This is about Ella Neezer (get it?!?!) who is a CEO that no one likes. The people that work for her are being forced to work on Christmas because she didn't like their presentation while she hops on a plane to Australia with her assistant Bobbi who has a son who has movie asthma. Movie asthma is that kinda asthma where the kid can just cough and die at any moment. As she gets on the plane she ends up sitting across the aisle from her former fiancé, Jake. Awkwaaaaaaard.

The Review: It Welcome To Derry Episodes 5 & 6

It Welcome To Derry Episodes 5 & 6

Ooh, this one was a crazy one! Shaw finally tells Leroy what he plans on doing with the different pieces from where It landed that the Native Americans used to entrap him in the woods. He sends Leroy and a team to go into the sewers from that creepy ass house to go and do...something. Like I have said, this is a terrible plan. Meanwhile the natives are having a meeting talking about “Yep. Its about that time where this town loses its fucking mind.” Rose lets Shaw know this is a bad idea but this man is locked in on using Pennywise or whatever as a weapon of fear. Rose also gives her nephew a piece of the meteor as a weapon to use against Pennywise.
