Review - Supergirl (2026)

       Hey guys, Chuck here, and we're taking a look at the new movie Supergirl, which is the second film in DC Studios' DC Universe franchise. This movie was directed by Craig Gillespie, and stars Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa. 

      So, the movie follows Kara Zor-El, daughter of  Kryptonian scientist Zor-El and cousin of Superman, as she goes on an intergalactic adventure, running afoul of the evil Krem of the Yellow Hills, while also fighting alongside the cosmic mercenary Lobo, as she looks to find her true place in the universe. 

      While I will admit that the main plot was somewhat hit or miss, I still had a lot of fun watching Supergirl. Milly Alcock was fantastic as Kara/Supergirl, and it was great seeing more of David Corenswet as Superman. Jason Momoa was an absolute highlight as Lobo, and I look forward to seeing more of him in future DC movies. Hell, maybe we can get a standalone Lobo movie from a director like, I dunno, Bryan Singer or something. As for David Krumholtz as Zor-El, he did a decent job, as did Eve Ridley as Ruthye. But I, honestly, didn't care much for Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills. Honestly, he just was too generic a villain for me. 

       The action, visual effects, and locations were pretty cool, albeit too reminiscent of certain aspects of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. In fact, there's quite a bit that this movie has in common with the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but that's not inherently a bad thing. It just makes it harder for this movie to stand apart from other works tied to James Gunn. But, I still had fun with the movie, at least enough to recommend it when it comes to streaming and home video. 

        Alright guys, this is Chuck signing off, and I'll see you in the next review.

Review - Song Sung Blue (2025)

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Song Sung Blue ,.which is based on a true story, is a new musical film released by Focus Features. Written and directed by Craig Brewer, this movie stars Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Michael Imperioli, Mustafa Shakir, and Jim Belushi.         The movie tells the story of Wisconsin musician Mike Sardina, who forms a close bond with fellow musician Claire Stingl, and how the two go on to become the front duo of a Neil Diamond tribute band known as Lightning and Thunder. And, of course, the movie follows the romance, marriage, and the many trials and tribulations that Mike and Claire go through over the years.         Now, I have to admit that I wasn't sure what to expect when watching this movie, but I will admit that I had a really fun time with it. The chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire was absolutely fantastic, and their singing w...

Christmas Review - Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse (2001)

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, it's the holiday season once again, which means it's time for some fun Christmas reviews. And, while in the past, this has been done in the form of 12 Reviews of Christmas , I feel as though I've exhausted so many Christmas titles worth talking about, that there simply isn't enough to warrant twelve days of them. So, going forward, there will instead be a handful of Christmas reviews spread intermittently throughout the month of December.         And, we're kicking off our Christmas reviews with the 2001 direct-to-video Disney special Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse . For some background, in the year 1999, Disney aired a series called Mickey Mouse Works , which introduced a new collection of shorts starring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. However, after two seasons, Disney replaced it with the similarly themed House of Mouse , which saw Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, along with...

My Top 10 Favorite Movies of 2025

       Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, another year has come to an end. And, when it comes to the movies of the year, there have been a number of surprises, a few disappointments, and some movies that were kind of a mixed bag for me. But, there were ten movies that managed to truly stand out. So, without further ado, there are my Top 10 Favorite Movies of 2025 .          Now, I do have a few honorable mentions of movies that, while decent enough and being movies that I still enjoyed, simply weren't worthy of a spot in the Top 10 , and they are as follows: Jurassic World: Rebirth, A Minecraft Movie, Thunderbolts*, and Tron: Ares . Again, I enjoyed these movies, but they all lacked a little something that would have made them Top 10 material. And speaking of which...         #10  - The Fantastic Four: First Steps : Marvel Studios' take on Marvel's First Family was a lot of fun with brilliant performances and special effect...
