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”).

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

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).

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*.

Movie Review: Captain America Brave New World

Captain America Brave New World movie poster

Directed by: Julius Onah
Starring: Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford
Release Date: February 14, 2025
Runtime: 1 hr 58 min
My Rating:

After an assassination attempt on the president, Sam is thrust into the middle of an international incident with an unknown antagonist. The MCU is still struggling to recreate the success they had with the films in the Infinity Saga. Honestly, I don’t think this film brings them any closer.

I wanted to give this movie four stars, and I almost did solely based on Harrison Ford’s performance. However, we expect great acting from a person of his caliber. Honestly, everyone in the cast does a great job and the action is solid. There is slight confusion around the story and its link to the previous films in the franchise.
