WELCOME TO THE MOVIE NERDS

Courtesy of Getty Images 2025 was one of the best years for movies in the 2020s and is finally done. Now we’re into 2026, and a lot of exciting, highly anticipated movies are coming out. Here are my top 10 most anticipated movies of 2026. 10. Coyote vs. Acme The Looney Tunes  remain cultural icons and recently had a couple of movies out after it looked like they never would be released. After The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie  came out and entertained audiences,

Courtesy of Netflix On July 15, 2016 Netflix scored a huge home run with the premiere of Stranger Things. The show had everything an audience can love. It had suspense, horror, mystery, great special effects, great characters, romance, etc. The show became a huge pop culture sensation and became Netflix's top show. Seasons went by and the show's quality was the same. Everyone was excited to see how this show would end. On December 31, 2025 we found out how Stranger Things end

Courtesy of Marvel Studios The first teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday  is officially out, and it confirms Chris Evans will be returning as Steve Rogers. The teaser didn’t give much else away except that Steve will officially be a father when he returns next year. Steve Rogers hasn’t been in the MCU  since Avengers: Endgame , where he returned to the past to live a happy life with Peggy Carter, and as an old man, he gives Sam Wilson the Captain America shield and mantle.

Courtesy of Netflix Thanks to one little brave boy on August 30th, 2023, the entire world would soon find out about all the abuse and manipulation taking place at Jodi Hildebrandt’s house down the block. The twelve year old - with open wounds and in a frail state - fled through a window and rang doorbells. One of the neighbors finally answered and the entire story unraveled soon after . . . how deep his mother Ruby Franke was now intertwined with Hildebradnt’s mentorship prog

Courtesy of Netflix Volume 2 of the last season of Stranger Things dropped on Christmas. After the surprising and awesome finale of volume 1, volume 2 is hoping to continue the show's momentum in its final season. But, volume 2 doesn't do that. It derails the show's momentum and leaves fans bored for the show's finale. What does it get so wrong? Let's check it out. First, the nostalgia of Stranger Things is dying if not dead already. Every episode follows the same formula. If

Courtesy of A24 Marty Supreme is the latest film directed by Josh Safdie and stars Timothee Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a ping pong player looking to be the best in the world and win the world championship. This isn't your ordinary sports film. Sure, there's ping pong in it and scenes where matches are being played. But, Marty Supreme is more than that. It is a film about doing whatever it takes to achieve your dream, even if you hurt people along the way. This film has been ma

Even though she is super talented at what she does, the job - and life itself for that matter - is starting to get the best of her. With heavy workloads burning her out, deadlines that never seem to stop coming in and insecurities starting to tower over the strong female she is, Ms. Kazner’s life suddenly takes a turn for the more bizarre when a debonair skelet

Courtedy of 20th Century Studios James Cameron’s third movie in the Avatar series, Avatar: Fire and Ash , is finally out, starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver, and Oona Chaplin.

James Cameron said this was meant to be part of Avatar: The Way of Wa

Courtesy of Netflix After Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the Knives Out franchise was stuck in the mud. The disappointing sequel was seen a huge disappointment for movie goers and Netflix. But after 3 years, our favorite detective Benoit Blanc is back. This time he is investigating the murder of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks. Like all other Knives Out films, we follow Blanc as he investigates a group of people and discovers which one murdered him. But in this film, one actor

2025 was a solid year for Warner Bros. Discovery movies, as many movies did well at the box office and were praised by critics. Because of that and its large library of movies and shows, it was no surprise that Paramount Skydance was pursuing a merger with the company. Paramount’s CEO, David Ellison, made a few bids for WB in September and October that were rejected by David Zaslav. Zaslav had already planned to split Warner Bros. Discovery into two separate companies, with D

Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are officially partners at the Zootopia Police Department, but they risk being separated if they keep messing up. They pursue Gary De’Snake and learn about Zootopia’s dark, hidden secret from 100 years ago as they try to clear their names. It’s been almost a decade since the f

Courtesy of HBO Max and TCM Let’s get the strange part out of the way first. Song of My City  is indeed a montage-like time capsule into the 1970s New York City that can only be captured through a cinematic lens. That much is certain. But how much can the viewer grab onto, perceive and feel when the project in question is only a seventeen minute short film? Surprisingly, a whole lot. Now diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer, filmmaker David C. Roberts has decided to craft

Courtesy of Universal Pictures Wicked for Good  is the sequel to the 2024 hit movie Wicked, based on the popular musical. Once again directed by Jon M. Chu and starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathon Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, and Michelle Yeoh, Wicked for Good covers the second act of Wicked , where Elphaba is still trying to expose the Wizard of Oz, and most of Oz thinks she is a wicked witch.

The last season is being split up into three volumes. The first volume was released on Thanksgiving while the next two will be released on Christmas and New Year's Eve. After such a long wait, does volume 1 of Stranger Things 5 deliver? Let's find out. Volume 1 deals with the same problems as all the other seasons and that is Vecna

Courtesy of Getty Images Movies have been one of the best entertainment pastimes this world has ever seen. The magic of movies is a magic that can't be replicated. Seeing a movie in a theater with a huge audience and experiencing every emotion together is a unique and awesome experience. Lately, there's been something about the movies that don't feel the same anymore. It's like every movie is the same and no movie blows you away like it once did. It's a depressing realization

Courtesy of Viaplay Content Distribution While Vanguard spins quite the different take on Leonardo Dicaprio’s white collar caper of 2012, Jakob Oftebro’s performance as one of Sweden's wealthiest people takes the complex rich man persona to new heights.   It has admittedly been some time since I last stepped back into the world of Viaplay . For those that could use an introduction, Viaplay is an massively underrated Nordic and European streaming service which US viewers could

Unless you’re retired K-9 officer Jake Rosser (played by actor Aaron Eckhart) in the new action movie Muzzle: City of Wolves  that’s releasing into theatres on November 14th. He loves his german shepherds - it can be seen that he even cherishes them more than his own family members sometimes. As much as there are moments that show Jake’s dedication to his dogs though, director John Stalberg Jr’s

Courtesy of Vertical Bunny  is both disturbing and dream-like. We’re dealing with dead bodies and flirtatious parties. It is comfortable but yet emotionally heavy in ways you’d never expect it to be.   At its core, Bunny is a microcosm of the East Village on a very, very busy summer day. The characters, the situations, the camera movements . . . it’s nothing more than a euphoric whirlwind of feelings. Albeit, Ben Jacobson’s first time directing does take just a little bit of

Prey  and Predator: Killer of Killers, both directed by Dan Trachtenberg, were well received by critics and fans.
