A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

an updated debbie downer sketch but it's friends showing her funny videos and she has to respond like this to every single one like this:

A ★★★½ review of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) When Sam Raimi finally returned after a nine year hiatus to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it was as if he never left. He delivered an incredibly entertaining film that was a wond...

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is shaggier than I was expecting and isn't quite the triumphant return I was hoping for from director Gore Verbinski, but it is a really unique sort of film that stays oddly entertaining throughout the ups and downs. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★★★½ review of Wuthering Heights (2026) Emerald Fennell is like the female Zack Snyder. She is an incredible director when it comes to the visuals, but she needs to let go of writing her own scripts. Just like Snyder, I am dying to see what...

"Wuthering Heights" needed to be freakier and pervier! letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

Emerald Fennell is the female Zack Snyder. I would like to see her direct someone else’s scripts!

A ★★★½ review of Crime 101 (2026) In 2018, Director Bart Layton completely blew me away with one of the most unique and gripping films I have ever seen; American Animals. I have been waiting for years for him to make a follow-up to th...

Crime 101 is a pretty solid heist film. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★★★½ review of Send Help (2026) I'm surprised by how mixed I was on this! To be clear, the movie is a blast and even lower tier Sam Raimi is better than most movies. But with such a simple and perfect concept and with Raimi finally ...

Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien are phenomenal in Send Help letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★★★★ review of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 28 Years Later stunned me last year. Who knew that a surprise Legacy sequel to two very solid zombie movies from the early aughts would wind up being my favorite movie of 2025? I thought Director Dann...

The filmmaking is a little safer than the last movie, but 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is still a phenomenal follow-up with a brilliant group of characters. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

If they stick the landing, the 28 Years Later trilogy could go down as one of the all time great cinematic trilogies.

A ★★★½ review of Greenland 2: Migration (2026) Greenland: Migration is an extremely rare entry in the very niche subgenre of "Disaster Movie Sequels". Most Disaster movies don't need a sequel because for the characters that survived, once the disa...

More disaster movies should have need follow ups like Greenland: Migration. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

YouTube has completely rotted everyone’s brains and made y’all way too damn cynical. That Stranger Things finale was fantastic.

A ★★★★½ review of Marty Supreme (2025) When people complain that Hollywood doesn't make original films anymore, you can immediately point to this as a perfect example that they do actually. Marty Supreme is a wildly unique and original tal...

Marty Supreme is a phenomenally unique and original film that is just bursting at the seams with amazing energy. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★★★★½ review of Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) It's sort of crazy how much I love these movies. When the first one came out, I sort of resisted it in some lame attempt to be cool. It was that hipster thinking of disliking something that was so unb...

Avatar: Fire and Ash is essentially The Way of Water Part Two, but I don't care, I still absolutely adore these movies. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

So many people complaining about “hIsToRiCaL aCcUrAcY” for the fucking Odyssey of all things, but my hot take is that I’m bored by the minimalist approach and Nolan should have pushed the weirdness further! Fill the frame with crazy shit, not just emptiness!

Some of these Boutique Blu-ray labels need a suggestion box. Who at Vinegar Syndrome do we need to get a hold of to figure out how to get a release for Mirageman or Black Sheep or Shadow of the Vampire?! Or who at Arrow do we talk to about getting the Taxi or Roundup or Admiral series released?!

Finally got to see Kill Bill, my favorite movie of all time in theaters, and this time it was The Whole Bloody Affair. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★★★½ review of Zootopia 2 (2025) I loved the first Zootopia for a couple of reasons. I thought that the characters were wonderful, the city of Zootopia was breathtaking and demanded a docuseries exploring the ins and outs, and that t...

Zootopia 2 is a fun movie, but the plot going for more of an Adventure angle rather than being another Buddy Cop story was a bigger bummer than I was expecting. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★★★★ review of Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) I loved the first Sisu movie, but I was a tad disappointed in the action. They sold it as a WWII John Wick and that wasn't really what it was. There was certainly some great action, but it wasn't exac...

Sisu: Road to Revenge rules. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★½ review of Wicked: For Good (2025) This was an absolute disaster and I'm honestly shocked. The first Wicked was in my Top 10 of 2024 so I was ecstatic to see the finale. But I guess Wicked: For Good was always doomed to fail? Supposedl...

As someone who thought Wicked: Part I was shockingly phenomenal, I thought Wicked: For Good was shockingly bad. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★★★★ review of Predator: Badlands (2025) Dan Trachtenberg rules. He has yet to make a movie I didn't love. He came out swinging with the phenomenal 10 Cloverfield Lane, followed that up with the brilliant Prey, then made an easy entry in my ...

Predator: Badlands rules. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

Predator: Badlands continuing a trend of old school, pulpy, retro B-movie title cards is just one of the many things about it that rules.

First episode of It: Welcome to Derry was WAY better than I was expecting. It felt way more like the phenomenal Chapter 1 rather than the disappointing Chapter 2.

Also.

A ★★★★ review of Black Phone 2 (2025) This review may contain spoilers. Visit the page to bypass this warning and read the review.

Some amazing visuals, an incredible score, and a really fresh and unique story (even for a sequel) really helps smooth out some of my frustrations with certain plot points in Black Phone 2. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★★★★½ review of TRON: Ares (2025) This review may contain spoilers. Visit the page to bypass this warning and read the review.

The best story and action in the series plus a phenomenal score and production design that almost tops Legacy means TRON: Ares is the best entry yet. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

A ★★★½ review of One Battle After Another (2025) Near the end of this movie I started to think about the original Star Wars. Released in 1977, just a few short years after the Vietnam War ended, George Lucas made a movie about the Rebels (the Viet C...

There's so much to love in One Battle After Another, but the actual focus of the story left me so frustrated. letterboxd.com/hanzosteel/f...

Their thinking is so weird… How is this not going to just make more people cancel while also stop those who did cancel from signing back up???
