Film 2427 - Avatar: Fire and Ash

Intro: It's always hard to shop for my dad, so for Christmas I got it a series of different presents that included an afternoon to the movies with me. For old time sake. Also, unexpectetly, we watched it in 3D: I didn't know that was still a thing, to be honest.

Film 2427: "Avatar: Fire and Ash" (2025), James Cameron
Watched: At the movies
Language: Italian
Watched with: Dad
Thoughts: I don't consider myself a massive fan of this franchise, but I was definitely obsessed with the first movie when it came out. The novelty of that first adventure — the colours, the visuals, the music — everything was so magically entertaining and, in a way, I was mesmerised by it. Now, with this third film, the magic has definitely worn off a bit.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely enjoyed "Avatar: Fire and Ash", and I'm glad that I went to see it with my dad — with whom I watched "Avatar" the very first time I saw it at the movies. I also have to admit that I found it to be better than I expected. Still, I can't shake the feeling that there's way, way less interest around this new outing than around the two previous ones. I mean, the box-office performance is still brilliant (will it get to two billion dollars, though? I don't think so), and people are clearly going to the theatre to watch it, but the excitement that was once there seems noticeably less intense. Although this is understandable — it's been 14 years since the first "Avatar" came out — it's also impossible not to notice.
I agree with the critics: the "Avatar" saga seems to be recycling the same story over and over again, while mainly relying on spectacle and visually striking elements. Nonetheless, "Avatar 3" is a fun ride for what it is — never boring — and this time it also introduces a great new villain in Varang (Oona Chaplin). I found her to be the standout of the whole experience.
So, while "Avatar: Fire and Ash" probably won’t be redefining the rules of cinema and storytelling any time soon, I still think it’s a respectable third entry in one of the last remaining successful movie franchises we have today.

Worth a watch?: I really enjoyed it for what it is. It's definitely not for everyone - especially if you din't like the first two films - and it runs for 3 hours and 17 minutes so, if you think you're up for that, go ahead and have fun!

Film 2408 - My Oxford Year

Intro: We all heard how bad it was, so for our second movie in Corfu, we decided to see it for ourselves.

Film 2408: "My Oxford Year" (2025), Iain Morris
Watched: From my laptop
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh
Thoughts: One of the worst movies I watched last year—cheesy and clichéd—it focuses solely on capitalizing on the dramatic events of the story. Although I’ve never seen it, it reminded me a lot of "Emily in Paris" in terms of aesthetics and overall blandness.
The chemistry between Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest is simply not there, and I’m sorry to say she doesn’t deliver a strong performance here. Considering she’s the lead, that’s not a good look.
Cast: Sofia Carson, Corey Mylchreest, Dougray Scott, Catherine McCormack.
Box Office: /
Worth a watch?: The story is mainly shock value and romance (forced to the viewer). Bad.

Film 2407 - The Thursday Murder Club

Intro: Before leaving to go on holiday I saw the trailer for this movie and how much they were trying to push it on Netflix. And of course I was intreagued!

Film 2407: "The Thursday Murder Club" (2025), Chris Columbus
Watched: From my laptop
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh
Thoughts: I enjoyed this movie although, I'll be honest, I was expecting a bit more. I mean, it's very enjoyable and the cast is great, but yeah, I was hoping for something a bit more thrilling, almost like of the first "Knives Out".
Reality is, "The Thursday Murder Club" is a perfectly fine movie, the actors do their job perfectly and overall it's a fun ride. Also, it's always nice to see Pierce Brosnan back in action.
Side note: Writing about this movie that I watched in early September, I cannot help but think about Celia Imrie in the UK's "The Celebrity Traitors". Who knew that, only a few weeks later, the world would have witnessed Imrie becoming one of the funniest contestant on the celebrity spinoff of "The Traitors" thanks to her exchanges with Alan Carr and, of course, that fart. Icon.
Cast: Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie, Naomi Ackie, Daniel Mays, Jonathan Pryce, Richard E. Grant, David Tennant.
Box Office: /
Worth a watch?: Not groundbreaking, but surely entertaining. The four main leads are a perfect match together and, overall, "The Thursday Murder Club" is one of the latest best additions to the Netflix catalogue. (If only it didn't have that usual glossy and overly perfect look that every Netflix production has...)

Film 2406 - Eddington

Intro: This was my last film at the movies before going on holiday to Corfu, Greece for two weeks. I wasn't necessarily thrilled to watch it, I'll be honest, but the reviews seemed good and the cast phenomenal. So... why not?

Film 2406: "Eddington" (2025), Ari Aster
Watched: At the movies
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh, Debbi, Yegor
Thoughts: I wish Emma Stone would every now and again go back to some lighter entertainment, comedies or anyway something a bit less art house-wibe only. She's a great actress, one of the most talented out there, and we already know it. It's absolutely understandable she wants to challenge herself with new and different roles and I think that's commendable (and vital for her career). That said, I miss the time Stone would star in a movie that... is just a movie and not a statement or a piece of art. End of my rant (if rant can be called).
Did I like "Eddington"? Absolutely not. I find it extremely long and for the most part uneventful. The ending is tense and well executed, but it comes in too late to save the movie for me. A move that, by the way is two and a half hours long. Also, I've never been a big fan of western, to be fair.
So yeah, this film did not do it for me and although it features a crazy talented cast and shares the director of "Hereditary" and "Midsommar", it was a drag to watch and I couldn't engage with the story at all.
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., Austin Butler, Emma Stone.
Box Office: $13.1 million
Worth a watch?: I'm sure "Eddington" has its fans, but this movie is just not for me (and it's way too long). Watch it if you're curious, love Ari Aster's work or enjoy any of the actors featured here.

Film 2405 - Freakier Friday

Intro: When in Enniscorthy (County Wexford) for a week break, Yegor joined me for a few days and we decided to go to the nearest town, Wexford, to go for a little strall and watch a movie.

Film 2405: "Freakier Friday" (2025), Nisha Ganatra
Watched: At the movies
Language: English
Watched with: Yegor
Thoughts: I have a fond memory of this movie more because of the circumstances (see intro) than the actual movie itself. I think we were the only two adults without children in the whole theater.
I didn't think a sequel of the original "Freaky Friday" was necessary to be honest and yet the nostalgia effect caught me off guard. I don't remember the first movie at all, but I like Lindsay Lohan enough and I'm happy for her current career resurgence and I think this "Freakier Friday" is a good blend of easy and fun entertainment similar to the previous movies Lohan used to be associated with.
This second outing is fine, it doesn't reinvent the wheel by any means, and yet it's a comfy watch, perfect for all audiences and good for the Summer season. Jamie Lee Curtis does Jamie Lee Curtis and she does it well. Probably she's the one who had more fun coming back to this franchise.
Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Chad Michael Murray, Vanessa Bayer, June Diane Raphael, Mark Harmon.
Box Office: $153.2 million
Worth a watch?: Not necessarily a must watch, but definitely a good fit for easy and innocent entertainment that can either be passively watched or used as background noise.

Film 2404 - The House Bunny

Intro: This is the kind of movie I expected Yegor to know and have seen, yet it wasn't even on his list. So we watched it together.

Film 2404: "The House Bunny" (2008), Fred Wolf
Watched: From the computer
Language: English
Watched with: Yegor
Thoughts: I think this is such a fun movie and, shockingly, a very underrated one. Anna Faris is spectacular in this role, she's a comedic genius - not to mention that she really fits the part. She carriers the whole movie with great charisma and energy and I think she should be a way bigger star than she currently is. Hopefully this will soon change.
The list of co-stars here is insane, including 2 times Academy Award winner Emma Stone, Colin Hanks, Kat Dennings, Beverly D'Angelo, and Katharine McPhee, but also cameo appearances from Hugh Hefner, Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson, Bridget Marquardt, Justin Baldoni, and Shaquille O'Neal.

Film 2404 - The House Bunny

Box Office: $70.4 million
Worth a watch?: One of the most underrated comedy movies from the early 2000s. Anna Faris is brilliant and this movie should get more recognition.
Awards: Anna Faris was nominated for at the MTV Movie + TV Awards 2009.

HollywoodCiak's Best & Worst of the Year: 2025

It's THAT time of the year again: the best and worst movies of 2025. And let's be real here, it wasn't a good year at all.
Of course I'm only going to include films that were released last year and that I went to see, so I'm sure there will be plenty of snubs and surprises there. Also, this is my personal opinion, on a year I've spent mostly watching tv shows, tv series and old movies because what was put out there didn't necessarily appeal to me. So off we go.

Film 2403 - Showgirls

Intro: I heard about this movie for so long, to the point that I felt silly for never having seen it. So here we are.

Film 2403: "Showgirls" (1995), Paul Verhoeven
Watched: From the TV
Language: English
Watched with: Yegor
Thoughts: I mean, do I see why it was panned by criticts and trashed for ages? Yes. Is it still iconic in it's own way? Absolutely.
I'll be honest, for what it is I didn't like "Showgirls", it's over the top, Elizabeth Berkle's acting is so intense - but is it really her fault? Movies have directors for a reason - and so strange to the point that it's almost impossible to take her character seriously most of the time, there are boobs everywhere, Kyle MacLachlan is absolutely miscsted, the plot is unhinged... But, knowing what we know todays, seeing how the culture has shifted and how iconic this movies has become, now that I've seen it I absolutely understand why. Also, I think Gina Gershon is so entraguing in this movie, so sexy and perfect for the role.
So yeah, "Showgirls" is a crazy ride, but what a fun one.
Cast: Elizabeth Berkley, Kyle MacLachlan, Gina Gershon, Glenn Plummer, Robert Davi, Alan Rachins, Gina Ravera.
Box Office: $37.8 million
Worth a watch?: Definitely worth watching it at least one time. Everybody hated it at the time, aren't you curios to know why?
Awards: The movie has been nominated to the Razzie Awards in three different occasions. Originally, in 1995 it got nominated 13 times, winning in 7 categories: Worst Picture, Director, Actress (Elizabeth Berkley), Screenplay, Screen Couple (Any combination of two people (or two body parts!)), New Star (Berkley), Original Song ("Walk into the Wind"). In 1999, it was nominated for Worst Actress of the Century and Worst New Star of the Decade (both for Berkley) and it won for Worst Picture of the Decade. Lastly, in 2004 in got nominated in the category Worst "Drama" of Our First 25 Years, but lost to "Battlefield Earth".

Film 2402 - Burlesque

Intro: This is one of my favourite gay movies (or movies specifically made for gay people) and it was insane to me that Yegor had never seen it before.

Film 2402: "Burlesque" (2010), Steve Antin
Watched: From the TV
Language: English
Watched with: Yegor
Thoughts: I love this movie, I think it's camp and fun and the sountrack is iconic. Cher and Christina (it's her birthday today!) are a great combo and in general the cast of this movie is so packed with actors you've 100% seen before.
Great fun.

Film 251 - Burlesque
Film 376 - Burlesque
Film 1161 - Burlesque

Film 2253 - Burlesque
Film 2402 - Burlesque
Cast: Cher, Christina Aguilera, Eric Dane, Cam Gigandet, Julianne Hough, Alan Cumming, Peter Gallagher, Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci.
Box Office: $90.5 million
Worth a watch?: One of my favourite musicals. I know it's not groundbreaking or anything, but it's fun and funny, the songs are good and Cher is, as always, iconic. Always a great rewatch.
Awards: 3 Golden Globe nominations for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Original Song for "Bound to You" and "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me", it won for the latter (specifically, Diane Warren). 2 Grammy nominations for Best Song Written for Visual Media anf Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media. Christina Aguilera was nominated for Best Female Breakout Star at the MTV Movie Awards, while Cher got an (disgraceful) nomination as Worst Supporting Actress at the Razzies.

Film 2401 - Together

Intro: I was curious to see this movie, the trailer seemed interesting.

Film 2401: "Together" (2025), Michael Shanks
Watched: At the movies
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh, Debbi
Thoughts: I'll be honest, not a big fan of this one. It's not bad per se, it just didn't deliver to the potential of its premise.
The imagination is there, the story has some interesting twists - althought the biggest one you can see it coming from a mile away - but ultimately "Together" is not as gripping as you would expect. The body horror and physical stunts are great - the visual effects really help here - but there's something missing and ultimately the movie didn't resonate too much with me. Something similar we've seen last year could be "The Substance", but that movie reaches a level of iconic that is never matched here. Dave Franco and Alison Brie are really committed though, and they're a great pair on the big screen.
Cast: Dave Franco, Alison Brie, Damon Herriman, Mia Morrissey.
Box Office: $32.3 million
Worth a watch?: "Together" could be the baby of "The Substance" and "Midsommar", although this movie never reaches the peak that the other two films are able to achieve. It's not bad, but not great either.

Film 2400 - Materialists

Intro: I think it's kinda funny - in a twisted way - that I finally get to write about this movie that I saw a while ago on a date night with Yegor, the day after we broke up.

Film 2400: "Materialists" (2025), Celine Song
Watched: At the movies
Language: English
Watched with: Yegor
Thoughts: I think this movie has a lot of potential, but I didn't necessarily loved it. The ending is bittersweet - we all knew about it, of course - and the fact that she gets back with her boyfriend is never a good storyline in my opinion, but "Materialists" explores a lot of interesting teams, and very current ones (the title gives it away from the get go, to be fair).
I know this is not a rom-com, we cannot really blame the story for turning into something less expected and exploring heavy themes, still it caught me a bit off guard. I appreciate that this film is more than just a fairytale with an happy ending and actually grounds itself in reality more than other outings in the genre, my issue was more with the tone and pace, although nothing is really wrong overall here.
Dakota Johnson delivers an honest performance and I think she really carries the whole movie. She doesn't have that 'grandeur' when acting, but with the right project she's absolutely able to shine. Both Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal are fine, but she really is the star of "Materialists".
Cast: Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, Zoë Winters, Louisa Jacobson.
Box Office: $108 million
Worth a watch?: Probably not the best movie to watch on a romantic date nor one to talk about the next day your relationship ended. It's not groundbreaking, but overall a good film.

Film 2399 - Weapons

Intro: I decided to wait for the Golden Globes nominations to be announced before writing this review because I was curios to see if this movie would actually get the nomination everyone was talking about.

Film 2399: "Weapons" (2025), Zach Cregger
Watched: At the movies
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh, Debbi, Yegor
Thoughts: This year, no other horror movie has been this successfull and a performance achieved this level of praise and iconic status since "The Substance" came out last year and Demi Moore was nominated for her first Oscar. Amy Madigan seems to be heading in the same direction (and disappointment?).
To be honest, I don't think she really has a shot at winning - especially considering what happened this year at the Academy Awards - but it's nice to finally see a great performance in the horror genre being recognized and brought front and center of the award season ahead. Madigan and her aunt Gladys are the glue of this film, not to mention the most entertaining part of it.
What I liked about "Weapons" is its dual nature: there's a mystery to be solved that feels very mch grounded into reality and there's the horror movie components that lurk in and elevate the story. Yes, one would have to be fun of the genre to better appreciate the scary moments, but this is still a pretty compelling story and entertaining piece of media.
The cast is on point, the screenplay well written thanks to a very intreaguing premise and, overall, Zach Cregger's latest cinematic effort is one of the best movies we've seen in this otherwise lucklaster 2025.
Cast: Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Justin Long, June Diane Raphael, Benedict Wong, Amy Madigan.
Box Office: $268.2 million
Worth a watch?: One of my favourite movies that came out this year and definitely one of the best horrors we got in a while.
Awards: Nominated for 2 Golden Globes: Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture (Amy Madigan) and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
