Spider-Man Brand New Day Trailer

Hooray for more trailers! This time it’s a trailer for the next Spider-Man movie, which is the next film in Phase 6 of the MCU. Tom Holland is crushing it as Peter Parker; I might even say I like him better than Tobey Maguire. There is a caveat before you watch this trailer; if you have not seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, the context of this trailer might seem confusing.

Let’s talk more after you watch.

While I remember the events of No Way Home, I should go back and watch it again anyway, in preparation for this film. However, other things look exciting about this movie. Number one on that list is Jon Bernthal returning as Punisher! If you haven’t watched The Punisher series, you should definitely check it out. He’s a great cast for Frank Castle.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be in theaters on July 31st.

98th Academy Awards Results

Jessie Buckley 2026 Oscars

The 98th Academy Awards have concluded, so let’s go over the results and how I did compared to last year. There is another great acceptance speech that is just as wonderful as Kieran Culkin’s was last year. I will talk about it a bit later.

To spoil it a little, I did a lot better this year than last. In fact, I was surprised by how well I did this year. It probably helped that I watched several of the movies that were nominated this year, specifically those nominated for Best Picture. I’ll also admit that a couple were just lucky guesses. I will break it all down after the results.

Drama Month (2026) – Best Picture Nominees

This may become an “every February” thing, since most Best Picture nominees are dramas. I rarely see any of the nominated movies, so this is a great opportunity to rectify that. Also, since I am trying to play the Oscar game again, this can help me make my predictions. If you want to see my predictions, you can head over to that post. In any event, here is the list of Best Picture movies I watched.

98th Academy Awards Predictions

98th Academy Awards Oscar statue

It’s Oscar season, folks, so it’s time for me to post my predictions for the 98th Academy Awards. I didn’t do very well last year; I hope I can change that this year.

There is a new category this year, “achievement in casting”. This category is long overdue. There have been some great casting choices, and the folks responsible for those decisions deserve recognition. There are countless movies where I’ve said, “So-and-so was a great casting choice”. The right person in the right role can really affect how the audience relates to the movie.

Again, I have not had the opportunity to see all the movies on the list, but I’ve tried; they are my picks for Drama Month. Look for that post early next month. Believe it or not, of all the movies I saw in theaters last year, none were nominated. You can head over to the Oscars website to see the list of nominees.

The Mandalorian and Grogu Official Trailer

By

In Star Wars, The Mandalorian

Lucasfilm teased us yesterday (Feb 16th) that a full trailer would be released today. For some reason, they are still posting teaser trailers for trailers. I don’t get it. Regardless, here is the Mandalorian and Grogu official trailer.

This trailer had me at R2-D2! Then we saw Zeb, and then we saw another Ardennian (the last time we saw one was Rio from the Solo movie). I’m excited for this movie!

Din Djarin said he is looking for a Hutt. I wonder if he means Ezra (IYKYK). Anyway, I’m going to go watch this like six or seven more times.

UPDATE: I just learned that the swol Hutt in the trailer is Rotta, Jabba’s son.

The Mandalorian and Grogu will be in theaters on May 22nd.

SciFi Month (2026) – Terminated

Arnold as the Terminator

For Science Fiction month, I decided to finally watch all of the Terminator movies. This series has quite the tumultuous history. The first two movies are written and directed by James Cameron. He wanted to do a third movie, but he lost the rights in an auction in 1997. After the release of the third film, the rights were sold again.

Terminator Salvation was released in 2003, and then the company filed for bankruptcy. Terminator Genisys was initially intended to be the first installment of a new trilogy before James Cameron regained the rights in 2019. However, the idea was scrapped after its low performance at the box office. Terminator: Dark Fate is produced by James Cameron and was also intended to be the first installment of a new trilogy. The project was scrapped for the same reason.

As a result of all this, the franchise is disjointed and incongruent. Does that affect their entertainment value?
