Fantasy Month (2026) – Pirates of the Caribbean

In Monthly Movie Theme, Movies

For Fantasy Month (2026), I wanted to go back and watch the Pirates of the Caribbean films because I have not seen all of them. I remember when the first movie was announced, I had my concerns. Film adaptations of video games have rarely gone well, so an adaptation of an amusement ride also seemed like a risky decision. However, in this case it paid off … big time!

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise became a huge success and one of Johnny Depp’s most iconic roles. This franchise is also one of Hans Zimmer’s most iconic scores. The special effects of all of these films are another thing that really stands out in this franchise.

There are no bonus movies or a random selection this time. The special event movies consist of 42 for Jackie Robinson Day and Star Trek: First Contact for First Contact Day.

The Mandalorian & Grogu Final Trailer

In Star Wars, The Mandalorian

Here is the Mandalorian & Grogu final trailer before the film’s release next month. I’m excited for this movie, mainly because it’s the first Star Wars film since 2019, but also because it looks so good. Check out the trailer below if you haven’t seen it yet.

This is definitely the hype trailer, with stunning visuals, throwback music (Yoda’s theme), and all the cameos. These cameos range from character cameos such as Embo, the twins, and Zeb to voice-over cameos by Martin Scorsese. The original series composer, Ludwig Goransson, scored this film.

This trailer has me sufficiently hyped!

The Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters May 22nd.

Comedy Month (2026) – John Candy Tribute

There will never be another John Candy. He was a legend and the reason the 80s and 90s are the greatest era of movies. The original plan was to watch the documentary, John Candy: I Like Me, as part of this tribute, but I ended up watching it around Christmas.

If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, then you will really appreciate the documentary. I highly recommend it. You learn that John Candy was truly one in a million. I immensely enjoy all of the movies on this list, but after watching this documentary, they also make me sad. The world was such a better place with him in it.

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

By

On March 11, 2026

In Monthly Movie Theme, Movies

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.
