Disney’s relentless attempt to make Tron a viable blockbuster franchise continues with Tron: Ares, directed by Joachim Rønning. Starring Jared Leto as the titular AI program who crosses over into the real world, the film is a stunning technical achievement backed by a pounding Nine Inch Nails score. But beneath the neon glow and thumping bass lies a hollow, poorly written story that struggles to justify its existence. This is a film of extremes. The visuals and audio design are top-tier, especially if experienced in IMAX or HDR theaters. The plot, however, is a “cotton candy” experience—flashy, sweet, but ultimately…

The concept of Good Boy, directed by Ben Leonberg, is irresistible for any dog lover or horror fan: a supernatural thriller told almost entirely from the perspective of a dog. The film follows “Indie,” a brave pup who tries to protect his owner, Todd, from a dark entity lurking in his new home. For the first half, the movie delivers on its premise. The dog actor, Indie (the director’s real-life dog), gives an Oscar-worthy performance. The way the film captures a dog’s heightened senses—staring into corners, growling at unseen threats—creates a unique and effective tension. “The dog is the best…
It’s that time of year again — the leaves are changing, preseason is winding down, and EA’s latest Madden installment has hit the field. But this year’s Madden NFL 26 comes with a twist: it’s built on a new AI-powered gameplay system that claims to make every snap feel more authentic, and for the first time, it’s running on the Nintendo Switch 2. After spending over 30 hours with the game on the new handheld console hybrid, I can say this: Madden NFL 26 is easily the most mechanically ambitious and visually refined football experience in years — but it’s…
When Roadwarden first released on PC back in 2022, it quietly earned a reputation as one of the most unique dark fantasy RPGs in years. Now, with its launch on the Nintendo Switch (August 25th, 2025), the illustrated text-based adventure makes its way to handheld screens. Having spent time with both versions, I can confidently say that the Switch release retains everything that made the original such a standout — though it does come with a few quirks. A Different Kind of Hero At its heart, Roadwarden asks you to step into the worn boots of a lone warden —…
Glory or Damnation? Him (2025) sets up a bold concept: a young star quarterback, Cameron Cade, gets attacked by a deranged fan and loses his shot at the NFL. Then he’s miraculously recruited by Isaiah White, a football legend, to train at a secret desert compound. Sounds like the start of an intense, psychological sports-horror hybrid, right? But sadly, that promise quickly deflates. What could have been a unique fusion of cult horror and gridiron glory becomes a confused, shallow mess. Where Are We Going? Justin Tipping directs a film that feels like a two-hour trailer. The first act drags…
Welcome to the Death March Lottery The Long Walk (2025) is a haunting adaptation of Stephen King’s early dystopian novella, finally brought to the screen by director Francis Lawrence. If you’ve never read the book, go in blind. That’s the best way to experience the movie’s slow-burning tension, emotional gut punches, and existential horror. The premise? Fifty teenage boys are chosen by lottery to compete in a high-stakes walking contest. Fall below 3 mph? You get shot. The last one standing wins anything he wants. One Long Walk, No Finish Line This is not an action film. It’s a psychological…
