Red Sonja (2025) stars a character who was originally created by Robert E. Howard, but was revamped by Roy Thomas for a Marvel, later Dynamite, comic book series. It’s also the second film adaptation of the material after a 1985 movie starring Brigitte Nielsen. I’ll tell you right off the bat that this new version is better than the Nielsen film, which, for me, straddled the line between being bad and enjoyably bad.

Winston Gooze (Peter Dinglage) is a janitor struggling to raise his son, Wade (Jacob Tremblay), on his own. One day, he discovers that he has a potentially deadly brain disease that his insurance doesn’t cover.

This inadvertently leads to his transformation into a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength (Luisa Guerreiro).
In the early hours of one Wednesday morning, seventeen kids in the same third-grade class inexplicably get out of bed and run off into the night. With no one else to blame, the teacher of said class, Justine Gandy (Julia Garner), ends up becoming a scapegoat for most of the town. And that’s all I can tell you without spoiling something, which I try not to do in the first paragraphs of my reviews.

A part of me doesn’t even know why I’m writing this review because the discourse surrounding this movie has been exhausting, thanks mainly to a certain group of people deciding that they hated the film before it even came out. It’s tempting for me to declare that Zack Snyder has the most toxic fan base of all time, but I really shouldn’t be judging since I’m a Star Wars fan. With that off my chest, here’s my two cents on Superman (2025) for whatever it’s worth.

Spike (Alfie Williams) is a young boy who lives in the British Isles with his father, Jaime (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and his mother, Isla (Jodie Comer). The island the family lives on offers a sanctuary from the hordes of people infected with the Rage virus on the mainland.

Fear Street: Prom Queen is a soft reboot of the 2021 summer slasher spectacular (you should familiarize yourself with the previous trilogy because there will be spoilers). Lori Granger (India Fowler) is a high school senior who everyone thinks is a psycho like her mom, who allegedly killed her dad. Lori wants to be prom queen to prove she’s “more than a Shadyside sob story.” It’s a task made more difficult with another killer on the loose.

The vision is from the point of view of a woman named Iris (Brec Bassinger), who also ends up being Stefani’s grandmother.
