The Prosecutor, directed and co-produced by the martial arts icon Donnie Yen, emerges as an action thriller that attempts to blend courtroom drama with high-octane fight sequences. Premiering in late December 2024, the film revolves around themes of justice and moral ethics within a legal framework—an ambitious endeavor given the movie's hybrid nature. While the premise holds promise, the execution leaves much to be desired, ultimately leading to a convoluted narrative that struggles to define its identity.

In the realm of war films, few titles resonate with the visceral authenticity and emotional weight of Platoon. Released in 1986 and directed by Oliver Stone, the film stands as a powerful indictment of the Vietnam War, drawing not just on ideas of heroism and sacrifice but onto the deeper and darker questions of morality and human nature. Stone, a Vietnam veteran himself, infuses his narrative with personal experience, creating a poignant exploration of the psychological and emotional toll exacted upon soldiers. As audiences dive into the harrowing tales of Chris Taylor, portrayed by Charlie Sheen, and his fellow soldiers, they are compelled to confront the profoundly unsettling realities of warfare.

Popeye's Revenge, the cinematic event of 2025 that nobody asked for but apparently someone thought we needed. This British slasher horror debut, directed by William Stead and written by Harry Boxley—who, let’s be honest, seemed to have one foot in the cereal aisle while brainstorming—takes the beloved spinach-loving sailor and drags him into a realm far more grotesque than the one fans of E.C. Segar could ever imagine. What promises to be a dark transformation of the iconic character ends up traversing dangerous waters, rarely surfacing from the murky depths of absurdity.

How we love a good biopic, especially one centered around a character as illustrious as Vladimir Putin. Enter the cinematic catastrophe known as Putin, directed by Patryk Vega, a name that will surely join the ranks of legendary filmmakers—right next to Uwe Boll. Released on January 10, 2025, this film promised an exhilarating journey through the life of the iron-fisted ruler of Russia. Instead, it delivers a jumbled mess that is about as coherent as Putin's own policies. Bravo, Vega, for turning a once gripping narrative into a nonsensical exercise in confusion and disappointment. If you were looking for a mind-bending experience, you certainly got one—though I imagine insomnia will yield more fulfilling results.

Watching a film about a plane crashing while you're on a flight slicing through a storm might sound like a recipe for tension, but it’s a unique juxtaposition that turned my viewing of "Plane" into an unforgettable experience. Jean-François Richet's 2023 action thriller transformed what could have been a predictable disaster narrative into a gripping tale of survival and redemption. As my aircraft swayed ominously through the tempest, Gerard Butler and Mike Colter delivered a story within the story, elevating my expectations from their storm-induced low to soaring heights of captivating cinema.

Planet Dune, the movie that dares to ask: "What if we take all the epic grandeur of Dune and replace it with... well, whatever this is?" Directed by Tammy Klein and Glenn Campbell, and released in September 2021, this science fiction mockbuster is more of a cosmic comedic catastrophe than anything else. And you know what? I actually liked it.

The Platform (El Hoyo) graced us with a bleak and dystopian delight back in 2019. It served up brutal social commentary alongside prison horrors.
