Toy Story 5 Review – If This Is the End, What a Beautiful Way to Go

Written by Carson Kelly -
Image
Some movie franchises become more than movies after a while. They become pieces of your childhood, pieces of your memory, pieces of the way you understand growing up, letting go, friendship, imagination, and time. For me, Toy Story has always been one of those stories. So, walking into Toy Story 5 , I had a lot of emotions sitting with me before the movie even started. Excitement, nostalgia, curiosity, a little bit of fear, and honestly, that quiet question a lot of fans probably had: did we need another one? After watching it, my answer is this: maybe we did. Because Toy Story 5 is beautiful. It is powerful, uplifting, emotional, and deeply reflective for anyone who has followed this franchise from the beginning. It understands the weight of what came before it. It understands that these characters are not just toys to the audience anymore. They are old friends. They are symbols of childhood. They are reminders of a time when imagination felt endless, and the world felt smaller, saf...

Obsession Review – A Creepy, Uncomfortable, and Seriously Effective Horror Story

Written by Carson Kelly -
Image
I want to start this review by being honest about something: my theater experience for Obsession was rough. Unfortunately, some people in my auditorium were being loud during scenes, talking over the movie, and outright spoiling moments for other people. That kind of thing really hurts a first viewing, especially for a horror movie that depends so much on tension, atmosphere, surprise, and discomfort. It was frustrating, because I had been looking forward to Obsession for a while. But I also try to separate the experience around a movie from the movie itself. And the movie itself? I thought Obsession was very good. This is a creepy, unsettling, emotionally twisted horror film that takes a familiar “be careful what you wish for” idea and pushes it into something deeply uncomfortable. The story follows a hopeless romantic who gets exactly what he thinks he wants, only to realize that desire, control, and obsession can turn into something terrifying. That is where the movie really work...

Project Wildflower is officially planned for a later 2029 novel release. This is one of the major upcoming projects currently set for 2029, and I am excited to begin sharing more about where it stands as development continues. Project Wildflower has been quietly growing behind the scenes, and while there is still a long road ahead, the project is moving forward with a clear future in mind. The novel is currently planned for later 2029, giving the story the time it needs to develop properly. This is a project that I want to handle with patience. Project Wildflower is not just being developed as a novel. A future short film is also in development, giving the story another path to come to life visually. The short film script is currently aiming to be completed by Holiday 2026. After that, the project will continue moving through development and planning, with filming currently being eyed for late 2027 or early 2028. As always, timing can shift as the project continues to grow, but the goa...

Written by Carson Kelly -

Nintendo closed out one of the biggest gaming news weeks of the summer with a major Nintendo Direct on June 9, 2026, and it was absolutely packed with announcements for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. After a week that already included PlayStation’s State of Play, Summer Game Fest, and the Xbox Games Showcase, Nintendo had the final major spotlight, and they used it to show a future built around nostalgia, surprises, RPGs, family fun, long-awaited returns, and a very strong Switch 2 lineup. The biggest reveal of the show was easily The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time , rebuilt for Nintendo Switch 2. One of the most legendary games of all time is returning for a new generation, and that alone gave the Direct a massive closing-shot feeling. For longtime Nintendo fans, this is the kind of announcement that hits differently. Ocarina of Time is not just another Zelda game; it is one of the pillars of 3D gaming history. Another huge moment was the reveal of Kingdom Hearts IV fo...

Why I Love It Officially Begins This June

Written by Carson Kelly -

A new series is officially beginning. Today, I’m officially announcing Why I Love It , a reflective video series about the stories, games, films, shows, and creative works that stayed with me. This series is not about rankings. It is not about scores. It is not about turning everything into a competition. Why I Love It is about appreciation. It is about looking back at something that mattered and taking the time to explain why it still holds a place in memory. Some stories stay with us because of their characters. Some stay because of their worlds. Some stay because of where we were in life when we experienced them. That is what this series is built around. The first season begins with episodes focused on Marvel Animation , X-Men ’97 , and several Call of Duty titles that have stayed with me over the years. The Official Announcement Trailer premieres on Tuesday, June 9, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET . After the trailer premieres, the first episode will become available early for CJK+ members ...
