Image
  Copyright  ©  Netflix, Kantana Motion Pictures Title : Ziam Alternative Titles : ปากกัด ตีนถีบ (original Thai) Director : Kulp Kaljareuk Release Date : July 9, 2025     Good streaming performance will not always mean a good movie. We haven't done any Thai movies in a while, so this movie was a great opportunity to go back to those. Hunger  was good. Once Upon a Star  was good. Is this as good as the others mentioned? Today's movie is Ziam , the Thai action-horror movie released by Netflix. During its release time, the movie gained the number one spot in the top 10 for a while. However, it gained mixed-to-meddling reviews from critics and audiences, who praised the action and visuals but criticized the story and characters. Even if this movie has a somewhat interesting concept, Ziam  is a rotten fish that should be worth throwing away. Summary    " In a fight for survival against a horrifying army of zombies, a former Muay Thai fighter ...

  Copyright  ©  Walt Disney Title : Zootopia Director : Jared Bush, Byron Howard Sequel to : Zootopia  (2016) Release Date : November 26, 2025     Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are back! Ever since Inside Out 2  became the highest-grossing film of the previous year, Disney thought of an idea: direct sequels to their past iconic animated movies, whether it would be with Pixar or not. Disney Animation has been failing again and again, like with Strange World  and Wish , so this year might get them back on their toes. Today’s movie, also the last movie of this month, is Zootopia 2 , the sequel to the iconic movie, Zootopia . Linked with a $150 million budget, the movie gained a smash success of approximately $233 million in box office gross.

Look, we have rom-coms, holiday comedies, and plain comedies that nobody will even care about seeing. It may not be good at first, but the reviews were really convincing. Today's movie is the 2025  Naked Gun , the legacy sequel of the titular franchise. Other than gaining a moderate box office success of $102.1 million against a budget of $42 million, it gained positive critic reviews, thanks to its high jokes and cast performances. Audiences were also delighted to praise its combination of humor and fighting. For bringing back slapstick that screams classic, The Naked Gun  successfully hits the funny bone that Hollywood was missing all along. Summary    "Lieutenant Frank Dre...

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run Revisit: A Cute Threequel Feature That Clearly Ran Out of Ideas

Image
  Copyright © Paramount Pictures, Paramount+, Nickelodeon Movies, United Plankton Pictures Title : The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run Director : Tim Hill Based on : Characters by Stephen Hillenburg Release Date : March 4, 2021     The ups and downs of the current SpongeBob movies will determine the franchise's legacy. It is a sure thing that the series is getting milked after the original  SpongeBob SquarePants Movie . Even though we can mostly get bad things from the post-Hillenburg era, we can also get a few good things sometimes, like Plankton: The Movie . The question right now is this: is this movie any good? Today, we will revisit The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run , the third SpongeBob movie that was released on video-on-demand as a premium Paramount+ offering. For a good reason, the movie flopped (domestically in the US and Canada) with a $4.8 million box office gross against a $60 million budget, which is thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic in the past. ...

Frankenstein (2025) Review: Guillermo del Toro Reinvents Classic Gothic Tale Into A Drama

Image
  Copyright  © Netflix Title : Frankenstein Director : Guillermo del Toro   Based on :  Frankenstein  by Mary Shelley Release Date : November 7, 2025     Guillermo del Toro is back in the game on Netflix. If a movie is by that one man, then it's a hint that it may be worth checking out. Since he adapted Pinocchio,  which made people universally praise his modern adaptation, we could see no issue in him adapting another tale. Today's movie is Frankenstein , the new Netflix movie based on the iconic, centuries-old tale by Mary Shelley. Using a $120 million budget, its gross is a relatively small $313,461, thanks to its streaming service's limited theatrical release strategy. In contrast, it was broadly praised by critics and audiences for its acting performances, production, and tragic story. With daring performances mixed with an emotionally tragic narrative, Frankenstein  stands out as a sublime monster that can play God. Summary   ...
