  Copyright  © Independent Film Company, Shudder, What's Wrong With Your Dog? Title : Good Boy Director : Ben Leonberg Release Date : October 3, 2025     A new horror film switched things around in its typical formula. Instead of a human survivor, this movie tells the story from the pet's POV. Today's movie is called Good Boy , the indie horror movie starring a dog protagonist. Against a budget of only $700,000, it made its own success of $7 million. Critics praised its originality and emotional depth, but audiences either liked or hated its storytelling depth. For its unique take on the supernatural horror genre, Good Boy  is a modern horror movie that lives up to its name. Summary    "A man moves into a new home that has supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities start to threaten him, his brave dog comes to the rescue." - Google Reasons     The good tricks that Good Boy  learned are the unique concept, heartbrea...

  Copyright  ©  Netflix, Netflix Animation, The Roald Dahl Story Company, Jellyfish Pictures Title : The Twits Director : Phil Johnston Based on :  The Twits  by Roald Dahl Release Date : October 17, 2025     Roald Dahl's works have become staple material for kids' movie adaptations. Because Netflix got a humongous success out of KPop Demon Hunters , maybe their animated films that come after it can get some attention as well. Today's movie is The Twits , Netflix's latest animated adaptation of the titular novel. For those who do not know, it is based on a novel about a cruel couple, Mr. and Mrs. Twit, playing tricks on each other, and their caged Muggle-Wumps have to fight back and free themselves from their abuse. Its critics were mixed to positive about its animation and humor, but they panned the creative liberties and predictable formula. However, audiences were more positive to praise the chaotic energy and moral lessons. In spite of being diffe...

  Copyright  ©  Paramount Pictures, Infrared Pictures, Safehouse Pictures, Circle of Confusion Title : Novocaine Director : Dan Berk, Robert Olsen Release Date : March 14, 2025     It's still sad to see that Paramount has been derailing on making animated films, but at least when it comes to making full-on live-action films, they're still doing fine. I was initially not interested in this one, so I tried it out when it came to Amazon Prime. Today's movie is called Novocaine , the action comedy movie starring Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder. Released in March with a budget of $18 million, the movie made a moderate flop with only $34.2 million from worldwide theaters. Despite the performance, critic and audience reviews were positive for its unique premise, action, and humor. For an out-of-the-box concept in the action comedy subgenre, Novocaine  is a movie that will not guarantee pain, but rather smiles. Summary    "When the girl of his dreams gets...

Copyright  ©  Universal Pictures, Blumhouse Productions, Atomic Monster Title : M3GAN 2.0 Director : Gerard Johnstone Sequel to : M3GAN (2023) Release Date : June 27, 2025     Look, almost everyone wanted a sequel to this hit horror movie from 2 years ago, but that does not mean it is going to be that good. We were going to be hyped for a sequel only to realize that the reviews convince us to watch it on streaming instead of at theaters. Today's movie is M3GAN 2.0 , the sequel to Blumhouse's robot horror movie, M3GAN . Made with a budget of approximately $15-$25 million, the movie received a box office gross of $39.1 million. Critics were mixed about the shift from horror to action, but audiences praised its hyped mixture of action and campy humor. Thanks to having no horror chip in its code, M3GAN 2.0  is a marketing tactic that slays less than its first model. Summary    "Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and emb...

  Copyright  ©  Universal Pictures, Monkeypaw Productions Title : Him Director : Justin Tipping Release Date : September 19, 2025     Because New Line Cinema won Weapons  after its bidding war, a random sports horror movie is in the hands of Jordan Peele. This year, horror seems to be taking the positive-to-mixed route, but one of the new flicks has taken the genre to a recent low. Today's movie is Him , the football horror movie produced by Jordan Peele. Against a budget of $27 million, the movie flops with an approximate $25 million from theaters worldwide. It gained negative reviews from critics for style over substance, and audiences were mixed with polarized views on its story. Albeit it has a unique concept for the horror genre, Him  is a mediocre football match that is more like a music video than a movie. Summary    "Cameron Cade is a rising quarterback who suffers a potentially career-ending injury after being attacked by an unh...

Copyright  ©  Beijing Enlight Pictures, Chengdu Coco Cartoon, A24 Title : Ne Zha 2 Alternative Titles : 哪吒之魔童闹海 (original Chinese)  Director : Jiaozi Sequel to : Ne Zha (2019) Based on :  Investiture of the Gods  by Xu Zhonglin Release Date : January 29, 2025 (China), February 14, 2025 (United States, limited), August 22, 2025 (United States, dubbed)     Hollywood has now found their highest-grossing animated film ever made. We all thought that Inside Out 2  was going to keep the highest-grossing rank after dethroning the 2019 Lion King  remake, but we happened to be all wrong. Just a couple months after, a Chinese animated sequel took the crown from Disney. Today's movie, also known as our final movie of the month, is called Ne Zha 2 , the sequel to the record-breaking 2019  Ne Zha  movie. As well as being the first animated movie to hit the 2 billion mark, it gained a whopping $2.33 billion in box office success against a cheap $...

  Copyright © Universal Pictures, Amazon Prime Video Title : War of the Worlds (2025) Director : Rich Lee   Based on : War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells Release Date : July 30, 2025     No wonder Amazon has truly gone to ruin their reputation with an original movie. Netflix is rising with KPop Demon Hunters  for the most part. Even Hulu got a few followers thanks to Predator: Killer of Killers . What about some others that are competing against Netflix? We sure do have one that tarnished the service's name instead of attracting customers. Today's movie is the 2025 War of the Worlds , the infamous Amazon Prime original movie starring Ice Cube, and I am not joking. When it got released on July 30, it got a brutally negative reception from critics and audiences for its product placement and acting. Thanks to so much criticism on the internet, it gained a 3% critic score and a 20% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, labelling it as one of the lowest-rated movies of th...
