Thoughts on The Marvels
I reviewed The Marvels for Trashwire and did a quick review on Tiktok.
In short, the movie is fine, but that’s not going to stop people from arguing about it on the internet. I’ve already seen some pretty hilariously bad thumbnails with angry pictures of Brie Larson from the usual YouTube angry mob.
The truth is, this movie is more fun than Quantumania or Love and Thunder, but people are so over the MCU by now that it’s going to flop hard.
Here’s my bite-sized review.
Or check out the full review on Trashwire.
Quick thoughts on ‘The Killer’
I really wanted to love this movie. I’m a fan of David Fincher and Michael Fassbender is always impressive, but the main character here is just so cold and stoic that it’s hard to really get invested in the story.

Quick thoughts on ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’
I had the chance to review the new Martin Scorsese film Killers of the Flower Moon for Trashwire. This movie is long and the subject matter is difficult, but I was fully engrossed throughout the three-and-a-half-hour runtime.
Most surprising was that I didn’t love Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance. Something about it just didn’t click for me. Maybe it was the fake teeth, maybe the fact that everyone kept referring to him as “son” or “that boy” when we all know he’s almost 50, but there were a few times when he kind of took me out of the movie.
Lily Gladstone was the standout and she is incredible! I certainly hope she’s in the awards conversation this year.

A few recent bite-sized movie reviews
I’ve been catching up on new movies lately and created a whole bunch of bite-sized reviews for them over on TikTok and Instagram but I figured I would share them here too.
First up is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, which I loved. The animation, writing, and runtime put this just above Across the Spider-Verse for me.
Next, we have Cassandro, which features Gael García Bernal in an award-worthy performance that I hope scores him a few nominations.
And most recently, I saw Dumb Money, which will now go on my list of things I begrudgingly enjoyed Pete Davidson in.
If you’ve seen any of these movies, hit me up on Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube to tell me what you thought of them.
