If you’re a fan of John Wick or Nobody, you’re going to love Bullet Train.

This film features the same brand of stylised action that’s redefined action films in the last decade. But, Bullet Train is much more quirky and stylised in a way that reminded me of Quentin Tarantino. While I did have some issues with it, overall, I really enjoyed watching this one.

This is by far the worst film I’ve watched in 2025. Forget about the fact that this is essentially a conspiracy theory brain rot video masquerading as a documentary. This is just a badly made film.

I did not have high hopes for this one. I love the franchise, but the subject matter and setting are not my favourite, if you ask me. The trailer also didn’t pique my interest.

Now that I’ve watched it, I can tell you that I found it pretty dull and uninteresting. It had some good moments, but I found myself zoning out frequently. It’s mostly because I couldn’t relate to the characters, and I thought the narrative was quite clunky.

This film is exactly what I expected it to be. After Predator: Killer of Killers, I was quite hyped for it, and it did not disappoint.

Honestly, I’m loving whatever Dan Trachtenberg is doing with the Predator franchise, and I seriously can’t wait to see more stories set in his vision of the future. Badlands was entertaining, simplistic, and very satisfying. Plus, the twist with the Yautja being the protagonist added a nice touch to the film.

This was by far one of the best cinematic experiences of the year. I understand why everyone has been going all gaga over it.

Not only is One Battle After Another an absolutely mad thrilling film, it is also deeply politically relevant, and entertaining. Not a single dull moment, not a single unnecessary bit. Everything in here was gold.

As much as I love Edgar Wright’s earlier movies, I was skeptical about this one because of mixed reviews. Yes, they are leaning towards positive, but I still had my doubts.

Frankly, the film is pretty enjoyable. As a psychological horror mystery, it’s pretty cool. But as an Edgar Wight film, it’s a little disappointing. His trademark quirk and hyper-stylised treatment is dampened down to the point that the film feels almost too generic.

A surprisingly warm, sensitive, and politically aware family drama I randomly stumbled upon this one. And I’m glad I did.

Anusha Rizvi is the same filmmaker who made Peepli Live, which was the main reason why I decided to watch it. However, the very organic and real family dynamics, the sensitive and funny treatment of each character, coupled with hard-hitting political truths of our times, it’s no surprise this one isn’t so openly talked about.

This is going to be one of my first reviews of the new year!

My Rating: ★★★1/2

This is one Christmas film that’s been on my radar for a few years now. And this Christmas, I finally got a chance to experience it.

As a fan of Satoshi Kon’s legendary anime style, this was an absolute delight to watch. From the deeply human exploration of each character’s tragic backstory, to the near magic realism of the film’s plot, everything made this a perfect holiday watch. Especially if you’re a fan of anime or Kon.

I knew I was going to love this one because of Olivia Coleman and Benedict Cumberbatch. But, I didn’t expect it to be this funny. I haven’t read the book or watched Danny DeVito’s version. However, what I saw here was exactly what I was looking for, and then some.

The characters are quirky, but feel real because of the cast’s performances. The larger-than-life absurdity is balanced well with its real human moments. Overall, just a super entertaining watch.

One of the best shows I watched in 2025, I am in awe of how hard South Park punched up with its commentary and mockery of the Trump Administration. I sincerely believe we need this level of audacity from creators if we want to live in a better future where fascists and pedophiles don’t hold positions of power.

I started out writing a review, but ended up writing an essay that talks about why I think such shows are super important in today’s time. Check it out.

From BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, this brilliantly bittersweet comedy-drama tells the story of a middle-class Jewish family across multiple time periods told in a non-linear fashion.

It features much of the same kind of quirky humour, as well as the sensitive exploration of complex human emotions and conflicts. It’s beautifully mature, and a must-watch for fans of BoJack Horseman.

One of my most anticipated watches of the year, and it did not disappoint!

Vince Gilligan has made two of the best TV shows of all time—Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul. Naturally, I had very high hopes for this show. Especially cause it starred the very talented Rhea Seehorn. While the concept of a hive mind isn’t all that new, and there were a few dud moments in the show, overall, I loved the way Gilligan has imagined such a scenario in his trademark visually refined and narratively solid style.

I reviewed Vol 1 in November, Vol 2 in December, and now I am posting about the finale. The finale released early in the new year, and I intentionally delayed posting this list just so I could include my review for Stranger Things too. Despite mixed feelings, I think it was a decent ending.

Stranger Things kinda fell off the tracks with Season 4. Half of Season 5 was good, but half of it was pretty bad. However, I think they mostly nailed the ending. Some disappointments, other expectedly satisfying resolutions, but overall just okay.
