 Resident Evil surprised me in the best way. The trailers were not really clicking with me, and I went into the film unsure whether I would enjoy it. I came away smiling. For me, this is the best Resident Evil movie we have had, and I am giving it a 9 out of 10. I am a big Resident Evil fan, but I was not expecting the ultimate adaptation that would somehow give every fan everything they wanted. I wanted to see whether this particular film would work for me. It absolutely did, and I left happy with what we got.

I loved Digger.  It is one of my top ten films of 2026 so far, and I already want to watch it again. After the number of movies I have watched this year, both on the big screen and through home releases, that is a strong place for any film to land with me. I was honestly surprised by some of the reactions I came across. My own experience with Digger was so positive that seeing people who did not enjoy it made me want to explain why it worked for me. I had a really good time with this film.

Other Mommy is not one of my favorite films, and I would not call myself a big fan of it. I still had fun watching it. Several moments made me laugh more than jump, and that is probably the best place to start when explaining my reaction. It is a strange combination to describe: a horror film that I enjoyed partly because some of its moments struck me as so silly. I can recommend giving it a chance, especially during spooky season, but I would do that with a clear explanation of what worked for me and what did not. THE SILLINESS BECAME PART OF THE FUN There were moments when my response felt closer to watching a stupid-funny movie like Scary Movie. I mean that as a description of how I reacted. Certain scenes made me laugh a little instead of giving me the scare I might have expected. That did not make the whole experience a bad one. I found some enjoyment in the ridiculousness, and once I was watching it that way, I could have a good time with it. Sometimes a movie is enjoyable becaus...
