Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2025

         Hey guys, Chuck here. Happy New Year. It's officially 2025, which means we have a new year's worth of movies to get through, and by comparison to a somewhat lackluster 2024, 2025 looks to be a banger year at the box office. So, without further ado, here are my Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2025. 

         Before we get started, here are a couple Honorable Mentions: Ballerina: this John Wick spin-off sees Ana De Armas as a ballerina trained to be an assassin; Saw XI: John Kramer returns, once again, with a new set of traps and games after the success of Saw X; Five Nights at Freddy's 2: the surprise success of 2023 is followed up by a new chapter with a new set of killer animatronics; Wolf Man: Universal and Blumhouse re-team with The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell for this reimagining of a Universal monster classic; A Minecraft Movie: a live-action/CGI adaptation of the once-popular video game Minecraft with Jack Black and Jason Momoa; Lilo & Stitch: the 2002 Disney animated favorite comes to life in live-action. 

        Okay, so now with the Honorable Mentions out of the way, we're on to the Top 10: 

 #10 - How to Train Your Dragon: as if Disney remaking their animated films wasn't enough, Universal seems to be jumping on the bandwagon with this live-action reimagining of the 2010 DreamWorks animated favorite about a Viking who befriends a dragon. 

#9 - Wicked: For Good: the second half of director Jon M. Chu's two-part film adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked sees Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba further embrace her destiny of being the Wicked Witch of the West. 

#8 - The Marvel Cinematic Universe Films: okay, so we have three new movies from Marvel Studios in 2025: Captain America: Brave New World, which hits theaters in February, Thunderbolts*, which hits theaters in May, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which supposedly hits theaters in July. Now, which Captain America looks like a pretty kickass spy thriller, and Thunderbolts* looks like fun, the only one I'm genuinely interested in is Fantastic Four. But, I definitely plan to see all three.  

#7 - Mortal Kombat 2: this sequel to 2021's Mortal Kombat will see our heroes from the previous film team up with new heroes like Johnny Cage in order to face the forces of Outworld in Mortal Kombat. 

#6 - Now You See Me 3: in what's almost been too long since the last time we saw them, the Horsemen return for a new adventure with magic tricks and shining the light on bad men. 

#5 - Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning: Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in this continuation of Dead Reckoning, and we see what could possibly be Ethan's final mission. 

#4 - Tron: Ares: Disney returns to one of my favorite Disney franchises, Tron, with a new chapter that sees a Program named Ares enter the User World. 

#3 - Jurassic World: Rebirth: from director Gareth Edwards and original Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp comes this seventh chapter in the Jurassic Park franchise, which will see the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali go toe-to-toe with dinosaurs, both new and familiar. 

#2 - Avatar: Fire & Ash: James Cameron returns for a third trip to the world of Pandora, where Jake Sully and his family face a new threat in a volcano dwelling tribe of Na'vi called the Ash People. 

#1 - Superman: the DC Universe finally kicks off with James Gunn's new reimagining of the Man of Steel, who will stand for truth, justice, and the American way, alongside other heroes like Guy Gardner/Green Lantern and Hawkgirl. 

       Well, there you have it. My Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2025. Now, obviously, I'll be most likely seeing more than these that I listed. These are just the movies I am the most excited to see over the course of this year. 

      Alright guys, this is Chuck signing off, and I'll see you guys next time with my review of Hook.

Review - The Thundermans Return (2024)

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Last night, I watched the new movie The Thundermans Return on Nickelodeon, and I have a few thoughts on it. For those who don't know what The Thundermans was, it was a Nickelodeon sitcom that ran from 2013 through 2018, and focused on a family of superheroes known as, well, the Thundermans. The show was okay, at least the episodes I happened to catch when it was on, but after seeing a lot of the advertising for this movie, I was genuinely tempted to check it out. So, here's my review of the new Nickelodeon movie The Thundermans Return.           So, the movie starts off with the Thunderman family, who since the end of the series have moved to the city of Metroburg, and are fighting crime as the superhero team the T-Force. And, something worth noting is that the family has aged in real time, so we see that Phoebe and Max are now adults, Nora and Billy are high schoolers, and Chloe is a middle schooler. Unfort...

Review - Ocean's Eleven (2001)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Back in the 1960's, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and the rest of the Rat Pack teamed up and made a movie called Ocean's 11 , which told the story of a military veteran named Danny Ocean, who teams up with his fellow squad members to rob a number of casinos in Las Vegas. It was definitely a product of the time, and is actually a really fun movie. Seeing Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and the Rat Pack on screen together is just genuinely fun.        In 2001, producer Jerry Weintraub and director Steven Soderbergh would bring together a fantastic cast to tell a more modern version of the Rat Pack classic, and that's the movie we're talking about today. This is my review of the 2001 Steven Soderbergh film Ocean's Eleven starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, and Julia Roberts, along with the likes of Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle, Eddie Jemison, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Elliot Goul...

Review - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

         Hey guys, Chuck here. The other day, I took a look at Rian Johnson's murder mystery Knives Out , which was a financial and critical success for Lionsgate Films. However, even though Lionsgate greenlit a sequel, Netflix wound up buying the rights for a two-film deal for sequels to Knives Out . Today, we'll be taking a look at the first of these sequels: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery , written and directed by Rian Johnson, and starring Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, along with a cast of newcomers that includes Edward Norton, Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, Jessica Henwick, Leslie Odom Jr., Madelyn Cline, and Janelle Monáe.          So, this movie involves a tech billionaire named Miles Bron, who has sent puzzle boxes to his circle of friends, including politician Claire Debella, fashion designer Birdie Jay, scientist Lionel Toussaint, and Twitch streamer/men's rights activist Duke Cody. Within the puzzle boxes are inv...
