   My Top Films of 2025

   These are my picks for the very best films of the year. Let’s discuss their impact and contributions to cinema in a year where the horror genre was reinvigorated, super heroic and fantastic familiar faces saved the day, an iconic literary and cinematic Monster was retold and a revolutionary who took us on a ride we will never forget. This is a delayed release so please forgive my timing, but let’s kick off 2026 with a BANG!

   Superman (2025) Review

   The first film (of what I hope is many) of the new DC Studios has arrived and it is none other than “Superman” - directed by James Gunn. On this episode, we start at the very beginning of Superman’s cinematic journey leading to the up to the moment we see a new battered and bruised hero ask his devoted pet Krypto: “Home. Krypto, take me home!”. For the first time in the Hero’s rich and deep history we are given a version what could be the truest, most faithful adaptation to his comic book and animated counterpart. More Man of Hope than Man of Steel with a supporting cast that sets a stage for the introduction of the DC Universe the likes of which we have never seen. For the first time in long time, I left the theatre satisfied, hopeful with a smile on my face and a overwhelming feeling to “Look! Up in the sky!”
