Movie Review of How to Train Your Dragon

By

On July 7, 2025

In Movies, Reviews

Directed by: Dean DeBlois
Starring: Mason Thames, Nico Parker, Gerard Butler
Release Date: June 13, 2025
Runtime: 2h 5m
My Rating:

If you didn’t know, this is the live-action adaptation of the 2010 animated film starring Jay Baruchel and Gerard Butler. I won’t go into the plot of this movie because it’s the same as the animated film. It’s rare to see a live-action adaptation maintain the same plot with very few changes. It’s all thanks to Dean DeBlois, the director of the animated films. He wanted to direct the live-action so nobody else would adapt his work.

With that said, here is my review of How to Train Your Dragon (2025).

Super Hero Month (2025) – Superman (OG-ish)

By

On July 6, 2025

In DC, Monthly Movie Theme, Movies

For Super Hero Month (2025), I revisited my childhood with the original Superman, played by Christopher Reeve. While I am predominantly a Marvel fan, I do appreciate the DC universe. When it comes to DC Comics, Superman is probably my favorite. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and the Superman theme was part of the soundtrack of my childhood. Honestly, anything composed by Sir John Williams is part of my childhood soundtrack.

Fun Fact: Christopher Reeve was trained by David Prowse to get in shape for his role as Superman. David Prowse was the man in the Darth Vader costume; therefore, Superman was trained by Darth Vader.

Here is the Super Hero Month (2025) list.

Trailers: Fantastic Four: First Steps – Final Trailer

By

In Marvel, Movies

Ok, I’m a little behind posting about new MCU trailers. A couple of days ago, the final trailer for Fantastic Four First Steps came out. If, by chance, you haven’t seen it yet, or want to watch it again, here you go:

This trailer is a little more exciting than the previous trailers we’ve seen for this movie. This cast and story are starting to grow on me, but it’s probably going to be one of those movies that I wait to see the audience’s response. I don’t care about the critics.

Just a note in regards to the MCU, this movie is the first film in Phase Six. Phase Six is also the final set of films in the Multiverse Saga.

The movie comes out on July 25th. If you see it, drop a comment about what you thought. I’m interested.

Lilo & Stitch (2025) poster

Directed by: Dean Fleischer Camp
Starring: Maia Kealoha, Sydney Agudong, Chris Sanders
Release Date: May 23, 2025
Runtime: 1 hr 48 min
My Rating:

I know, this isn’t my usual flavor of movie to see in the theater, but when you have a wife and daughter who love Stitch, you make some compromises. In my case, it was to see Thunderbolts* next. With that said, I won’t summarize this movie because it follows the same plot as the 2002 animated film. We’ll just jump right into the review.

Thunderbolts* poster

Directed by: Jake Schreier
Starring: Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Release Date: May 2, 2025
Runtime: 2 hr 7 min
My Rating:

I know this movie has been out for about six weeks. Anyone who was going to see this movie has probably already seen it. That’s not going to stop me from writing a review, because why the hell not? The old Avengers are gone, and there’s nobody to defend New York against a new, emerging threat. Except for a band of rogue misfits.

Here is my review of Thunderbolts*.

Star Wars Month Recap (2025)

In Monthly Movie Theme, Movies, Star Wars

Last month was Star Wars month and I’m a little behind with the recap. The end of the school year is always pretty busy. Be that as it may, no pun intended, Star Wars 2025 was pretty awesome.

I did watch all 11 movies, as is the goal every May. The Andor series concluded this year on May 13th. I’ve already talked a lot about this series and shared my final thoughts. It’s an amazing series; probably the best in the franchise.
