Playdate (2025) — A Loud, Ridiculous, Explosively Fun One-Time Watch
Starring Kevin James as Brian, a recently unemployed accountant turned stay-at-home stepdad, and Alan Ritchson (riding on the back of Reacher and others) as Jeff, a suspiciously capable “chill suburban dad,” the film starts with the most mundane premise imaginable: a weekend playdate so their sons can kick a ball around and bond. Within minutes,…

TRON: Ares when legacy becomes glitches
Disney’s TRON: Ares arrives in cinemas with the faint hum of nostalgia and the glow of a dying lightcycle. It’s the latest attempt to reboot the once-radical digital universe born from 1982’s cult classic and reignited (if unevenly) in 2010’s TRON: Legacy. But make no mistake—this isn’t your father’s Grid. In fact, it’s hardly anyone’s…

Red Sonia (2025)
A Sword With No Edge “It shares a name and nothing else.” When Red Sonja was announced for 2025, there was cautious optimism among fantasy fans. Could this finally be the bold, bloody epic the iconic warrior deserved? Instead, what arrived on screen is little more than a cinematic husk — a film so tone-deaf,…

MATERIALISTS – A24’s Glossy Rom‑Dramedy That Counts the Cost of Love

Heads Of State 2025
In the ever-growing vault of Netflix originals, Heads of State arrives like a frat party with a security clearance—loud, chaotic, and blissfully unaware of its own nonsense. Starring Idris Elba and John Cena, this buddy-action flick aims for Bad Boys-style bromance but ends up somewhere between The Expendables 4 (yes that bad) and a Red…

Superman 2025
When Warner Bros. announced yet another reboot of Superman, longtime fans held their breath—was this finally the return to truth, justice, and good storytelling? Unfortunately, what landed was not a bold new vision, but a confused, tone-deaf mess that feels more like a sketch show parody than the cinematic resurrection of the world’s most iconic…

Here’s the revised version of the Ballerina magazine review, now including a critical look at the overuse and unexplained significance of tattoos, which the film visually emphasizes but fails to meaningfully justify: 🎬 Ballerina: A Graceful Misfire from the John Wick Universe By Tom Tyler | EdgeScreen Magazine | July 2025 Issue The John…

M3gan 2.0 (2025)
July 2025 Artificial intelligence has never looked more stylish—or more unhinged—than in M3GAN 2, the glossy, over-the-top sequel to the 2022 viral hit. But make no mistake: while the film delivers laughs, scares, and meme-ready moments, it continues a long Hollywood tradition of misrepresenting AI in ways that are, at best, wildly misleading—and at worst,…

Snow White (2025): A Cautionary Tale in Cinematic Vandalism
It’s been said that some stories are and should be sacred. Timeless. Immune to reinvention simply for reinvention’s sake. Unfortunately, no such reverence was shown in Disney’s latest desecration: Snow White (2025) — a so-called “live-action” adaptation that redefines the word misguided and pushes the very boundaries of what constitutes live-action in the first place.…
