Action-Adventure Month (2025): Bourne Again

By

On August 12, 2025

In Monthly Movie Theme, Movies

For Action-Adventure Month (2025), I watched all the movies in the Jason Bourne universe. There are 5, only four of which star Matt Damon. I wasn’t sure how to approach this. Part of me thought about doing individual reviews just as I do for the other months. Then again, this is a collection of films and, oftentimes, I do a bulk summation.

I’m going to do a combination of both. There is also the bonus and special event section with some additional entries from the month. Before I do the breakdown, though, I have to note that I enjoyed all of these movies. I need to watch these movies more frequently. They are definitely on the list of movies to watch repeatedly.

Movie Review for Sketch

Sketch movie poster

Directed by: Seth Worley
Starring: Tony Hale, D’Arcy Carden, Bianca Belle
Release Date: August 6, 2025
Runtime: 1h 32m
Film Rating: PG

My Rating:

When a young girl’s sketchbook falls into a strange pond, her drawings come to life-chaotic, real, and on the loose. As the town descends into chaos, her family must reunite and stop the monsters they never meant to unleash.1

But Biggs, how did you see a movie before it’s in the theater and it’s not streaming anywhere? AMC Theaters has a really cool program called “Screen Unseen“. I have a Stubs Premiere membership, but I don’t know if that’s required. It only costs $6 per person, and the only thing you know about the movie is the film’s rating. They will tell you if it’s a horror movie (which are called “Scream Unseen”).

Movie Review of Superman (2025)

Superman (2025) poster

Directed by: James Gunn
Starring: David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult
Release Date: July 11, 2025
Runtime: 2 hr 9 min
My Rating:

I am going to try to keep this review spoiler-free because it’s still new in the theaters. As such, I’m just going to come right out and say that I enjoyed this movie. I’ve always been a bigger Marvel fan, but in the DC Universe, Superman is my favorite. Perhaps Christopher Reeve is to thank for that. Admittedly, I was a little nervous; DC has been struggling to match Marvel’s success. I think James Gunn has started strong, and I’m excited for the next story.

This is a retelling of Superman, so they change a few things from the versions you’ve seen before. This is an especially important note for us Gen-Xers who grew up watching the Christopher Reeve movies.

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.
