ICYMI First Avengers Doomsday Teaser Trailer

Before I say too much about this trailer, you should probably check it out. FYI, if you saw the newest Avatar movie (Avatar: Fire and Ash), apparently, this trailer premiered with that movie. Watch this trailer before reading any further.

Movie Trailer: Jimmy

This is a biopic I didn’t see coming. I’ve enjoyed quite a few Jimmy Stewart movies. It’s a Wonderful Life is a fantastic Christmas movie, not to mention Rear Window, Anatomy of a Murder, and The Philadelphia Story. If you haven’t seen a Jimmy Stewart movie, then you should hardly consider yourself a film fanatic. I know, that’s gatekeeping, but I mean it as a joke. Check out the trailer for this 2026 release.

KJ Apa is the actor cast to portray Jimmy Stewart. In the trailer, it sounds like he will do an amazing job with the voice and Jimmy’s mannerisms. From what I’ve read, this movie takes place right after The Philadelphia Story, when Stewart enlists and becomes a combat pilot. I didn’t know Jimmy Stewart served in the armed forces.

Anyway, I think this movie looks great, and I hope to get to see it in the theater next November.

Supergirl Teaser Trailer

It was rumored that December 11th would be the premiere date for the Supergirl teaser trailer. The rumors are true. This is the second film in James Gunn’s DC universe. Milly Alcock‘s Supergirl was teased at the end of the Superman movie released earlier this year. She returns as the titular character to tell the tale of Kara Zor-El before she arrives on Earth. Some may recognize Milly Alcock as young Rhaenyra Targaryen from House of the Dragon.

I’m a little undecided. This trailer doesn’t quite ignite the excitement and enthusiasm as the Superman trailer did. Coincidentally, the Superman trailer came out almost exactly a year ago. It’s a pretty unknown cast, other than Jason Momoa as Lobo. Perhaps when we get the official trailer, I’ll feel a little more interested in the movie.

Random Month (2025) – Musicals

Yes, you read that right. This month I watched musicals. In the spirit of full disclosure, musicals are also kind of a secret indulgence of mine. A good musical is hard to dislike and even harder not to sing along to. If you’re into that kind of thing. I realize they may not be everyone’s cup of tea. One of the things I enjoy about most modern musicals is learning about all the actors who can actually sing. I’m delighted with the selections I made, and you can see them below, including the bonus movies I fit in this month.

Movie Review: Wicked For Good

Wicked For Good poster

Directed by: Jon M. Chu
Starring: Cynthia Ervio, Ariana Grande, Jeff Goldblum
Release Date: November 21, 2025
Runtime: 2h 17m
My Rating:

The epic conclusion to the Broadway show that became a theatrical smash hit. Elphaba is officially the Wicked Witch of the West and is hunted by all of Oz, but she’s determined to expose the Wizard. From what I understand, the play and these movies are vastly different from the book (pub. 1995). Personally, I think this movie doesn’t quite live up to the first one.

Movie Review of Playdate

Directed by: Luke Greenfield
Starring: Kevin James, Alan Ritchson
Release Date: 11/12/2025
Runtime: 1h 33m
My Rating:

Brian (Kevin James) becomes a stay-at-home dad to his step-son. He accepts a playdate invitation from another stay-at-home dad (Alan Ritchson), who turns out to be a loose cannon.

This movie is getting absolutely roasted by folks despite it being the most-streamed movie on Prime Video in November. It’s a fun parent-comedy movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I considered giving this movie four stars because I don’t have the icons for 3 1/2 stars.
