According to Letterboxd, I watched over 300 movies in 2025, making it a challenging task to narrow down a list of my favorites.
From vampires to aliens, from Indian cinema to Hollywood, from indies to blockbusters, here are the best movies I watched in 2025.
Check out my 2025 Faves list on Letterboxd to see a few more honorable mentions.
A bunch of people I follow on Letterboxd were raving about Lokah: Chapter One – Chandra, a new Malayalam film that serves as the start of a supernatural cinematic universe.
I had the chance to see it and I totally understand what all the hype is about.
Here’s my quick review on Instagram…
Full review is available on Trashwire here:
Two movies I was really looking forward to were released this weekend, and I had the chance to see/review both.
First up was War 2, the latest in the YRF Spy Universe.
My full review is on Trashwire here, or check out the YouTube review below.
Next was Coolie, which was one of my most anticipated movies of the year. But did it live up to the hype?
Here’s what I had to say about it on Trashwire or check out the video review on YouTube below.
I realized how long it had been since I updated this blog and wanted to share some of the great movies I’ve watched lately. I’m including my reviews from Trashwire, but I’ve been reviewing (almost) everything I watch over on Letterboxd as well.
First up is Sinners, which instantly made my favorites list for 2025.
The next one I want to shout out is a smaller film that had a limited release, but was one of the few movies to make me cry this year, Bob Trevino Likes It.
As most people know, I really love South Indian cinema, and Kuberaa was another immediate fave for me.
Sorry, Baby is a brilliant blend of comedy and drama that I absolutely loved.
And last but certainly not least is Weapons from director (and Whitest Kids U’ Know co-founder) Zach Cregger. This is my most recent watch and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I saw it.
I saw the new Ghostbusters movie Frozen Empire and reviewed it for Trashwire. I compared it to mac and cheese because it’s fine and kids like it, but it’s the kind of generic meal you just don’t want to eat every day. You can check out the full review here.
Next up, I checked out the new indie horror Late Night With the Devil, which I liked a lot—aside from the AI art controversy.
Then I took a little trip to the MonsterVerse with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which was big, stupid nonsense…and I really enjoyed it!
I also watched a few smaller movies that I liked a lot.
First up was Frida, the new documentary about Frida Kahlo.
Then I also checked out Shayda, a really great indie that made me want to go spend time with my mom.
