The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Dir: Emilie Kristine Blichfeldt
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSU7SVKjXCi/?igsh=MWx1Z2UwN3lhandnZQ== This Norwegian dark comedy meets body horror film was written and directed by, and was the debut feature film of, Emilie Kristine Blichfeldt. It debuted at the Sundance Film Festival , and has quietly received a fair degree of acclaim from indie film lovers. The film was supposed to be a more unique take on the 'Cinderella' story, which intrigued me greatly, as did the apparent body horror asp

30 Days Of Night (2007) Dir: David Slade
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSSdVrNDW1G/?igsh=MXFmcWp5dnhnamVvdw== Once, when I was about fifteen, I watched the first twenty-or-so minutes of this David Slade directed vampire horror film, before my friends switched it off, and ever since then, I have wanted to watch the rest of it, if at least just to know what happens. The film has a fairly respectable Letterboxd rating, which is nothing to be sniffed at, so I had moderate hopes that I would enjoy myself wi

A House Of Dynamite (2025) Dir: Kathryn Bigelow
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSP5OCNDWnA/?igsh=MWJ2YzUzMXA4Mmp2ZA== It seemed like it was only a matter of time before Kathryn Bigelow would direct another American war film, so when this Netflix original thriller dropped on Netflix it did not surprise me one bit. She is certainly no stranger to them, having famously directed the Oscar-winning 'Zero Dark Thirty' and 'The Hurt Locker' . I have very mixed feelings about military films, including the two Bigelow

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event: John Cena's Last Match 2025
So, at last the day had come for the greatest wrestler of all-time to hang up the jorts and pump-up the trainers one last time. John Cena debuted all the way back in 2002, and went on to shape the next two decades of wrestling, defining eras and breaking into the mainstream. Seventeen world titles, and countless other accolades later, Cena now approached his final match. It was a surreal evening, and I was so glad that WWE chose to feature a number of NXT talents on the card.

Anaconda (1997) Dir: Luis Llosa
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSNT76LjYV_/?igsh=MXQ0YjZvd3N5eWIzNg== When it comes to creature features, the horror subgenre has its fair share of good, bad, and ugly. I have never been afraid to try out a random or seemingly average horror, and this Luis Llosa directed film was very much on the cards. It is, of course, a bit of a cult hit, and one that has spawned multiple sequels, albeit none that are at all well-rated. This film may not be critically acclaime

NXT Deadline 2025
Deadline is one of the most exciting NXT events every year, but it's actually one that I had never seen properly before, so it's safe to say I was intrigued by this year's edition of the event. Unfortunately, despite my excitement, I wasn't actually able to until a few days after the fact. Regardless, when I finally was able to watch it, I was still extremely hyped to see what would happen, particularly in the two 'Iron Survivor' matches. The night kicked off in awesome fashi

Wednesday: Season 2 (2025) Cre: Alfred Gough & Miles Miller
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSKyd4FjShv/?igsh=emFqdnVla3BtcWVt When this Netflix original series, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Miller, and based on the characters of the iconic 'Addams Family' , debuted on Netflix in 2022, it was incredibly popular, and brought a new generation of eyes onto a set of characters that others have loved and watched for years and years. I had enjoyed it quite a lot, being a big fan of the 90's films, but when it came to this s

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (1998) Dir: Justin Gilliam
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSH95CnjSDi/?igsh=dXduZHp1emR5bngy This 1998 road-trip comedy, directed by Justin Gilliam, is a film I've wanted to watch for years and years, mainly because of its reputation for absurdity, as much as anything else. Based on the 1971 novel by Hunter S. Thompson, which is itself known to be a bizarre piece of literature, the film is famous for its surreal look and feel - something I hoped I'd enjoy a lot. Either way, I felt compelle

Steve (2025) Dir: Tim Mielants
Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSFlB0LjdOu/?igsh=MXFrYTF3c21qdzU4dQ== This Netflix original drama, directed by Tim Mielants, wasn't really on my radar until it dropped onto its streaming service. Social realism films don't always appeal to me - I really have to be in the right mood for them, but this one intrigued me. Cillian Murphy, who co-produced and starred in the film, is known for producing some tremendous performances, and I had a feeling he could do so ag
