SPOILER ALERT! With Jimmy Nichols 2025 was a bounce-back year for movies following a lackluster 2024. The releases of “Sinners,” “Superman,” “Weapons,” and “Wicked: For Good” helped cinemas recover following a year with only a couple of noteworthy releases.   One movie released later in the year was only released on Netflix with much fanfare--  the sequel to the “Knives Out” franchise.    This franchise has been one of my favorites since the first movie. Each time they have a

Thankful for this Tradition Thanksgiving is fast approaching, but it is typically overshadowed by Christmas. This is evident at retail stores that are starting holiday deals, radio stations that are starting to play Christmas songs and houses putting up decorations.  There is nowhere that shows the shadow cast by Christmas over Thanksgiving better than in film. Hundreds of movies and specials to watch about Santa coming to town or a Hallmark movie where the big-shot corporate

When people talk about the greatest horror movies of all time, one of the first ones mentioned is “The Silence of the Lambs.”  This slow-burning horror film has turned into a cult classic with its characters, Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill, remaining iconic, recognizable characters in pop culture even after the movie has been out for over 30 years. While it is a cult classic, it does not mean the movie was unappreciated when it was released.  The movie is one of a few to co

While there were a few good movies in this extended universe, the majority of the films flopped at both the box office and with the fans. 

Horror and thriller movies are key staples of October. With spooky season in full swing, people are breaking out the classic scary movies to get in the Halloween spirit.  One of these movies is Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film, “The Shining.” I went into this movie with high expectations because it is considered one of the greatest thrillers of all time.  The movie, unfortunately, did not live up to these expectations. While it can be argued how influential it is, the movie felt d

Movie lovers have been blessed in 2025 with some fantastic films. There were superhero films like “The Fantastic Four" and "Superman” and horror movies like "HIM” and “Weapons.”  Few movies this year have received as much love from both critics and fans as the movie “Sinners.” This love for the film set the record for the highest-grossing original movie of the 2020s, earning over $366 million at the box office.  After watching the movie, it deserved every single dollar it got
