I’m making a change. February used to be Drama Month, but it’s now going to be Awards Month. September is now Drama Month, and martial arts movies will now be part of action/adventure or an option for November. The theme for Drama Month will be crime dramas.
Spoiler alert: I really enjoyed all the films I picked. There are some that I’ve wanted to go back and watch and several that I’ve been itching to see. There are also several special event movies in September.
As I said in my review of Spider-Man Brand New Day, it will likely break the record for the highest-grossing movie in the domestic box office. Star Wars: The Force Awakens held the top spot for 11 years. Congratulations, Peter Parker!
I’ve been following the box office numbers for Brand New Day since I wrote that review. Based on its momentum, I knew it would beat Star Wars sometime this week. It will be interesting if it still has enough steam to break one billion dollars.
I was never under the delusion that Star Wars would maintain the top spot forever. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a damn good movie, and I’m happy that it is the successor. I guess that makes Peter Parker the … heir to the Empire IYKYK. The ball is now in Filoni’s court to try to take it back; that would be a fun game of movie ping-pong.
Spider-Man is probably the perfect film for taking the crown. It’s much better than some chick flick or a woke reimagining of Ancient Greek literature .
I hope Spider-Man’s new position doesn’t go to his head. After all, with great power comes great responsibility (RIP Uncle Ben).
“The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.”
– Stanley Kubrick
It’s Mystery Month, and just like last year, I chose random mystery movies with no particular theme in mind. Unlike last year, I do not regret any of my choices for this year.
I guess I lied a little bit. While there isn’t a particular theme, I did make sure to pick mystery movies that span a few decades, going as far back as 1963. There are so many really great movies from that era. If you’ve never checked out older movies, I encourage you to go watch a few. Pick any Audrey Hepburn or Cary Grant movie.

My Rating: 
Spider-Man is trying to navigate a world where everyone has forgotten Peter Parker, including those that he loved. Despite his efforts, a mysterious threat appears that knows who he cares about. Now Peter teams up with Frank Castle (aka The Punisher) to thwart this new threat.
This is an excellent film. I almost gave it 5 stars, except it felt a little long. It has one of those endings where the writers take an extra 15 minutes to settle a couple of story plots.
I’m a little late posting this; 12.1 dropped in the Midnight expansion last week. In Season 1, our domination continued as we achieved Ahead of the Curve for all three raids (Voidstorm, March on Quel’Danas, and the Dreamrift). We completed our goals with enough time, again, for everyone to take a little break. Given our extraordinary efforts to destroy our foes, leaving destruction in our wake, are we still the heroes? 😉
Be that as it may, the Venomous Abyss awaits us. Each head of Ula’tek should be cowering in fear as we storm the Abyss to thwart her evil plans.
Yes, I know I am a day late posting this trailer. It’s the start of the school year, and getting certain people ready for a new school and the next grade comes with its challenges. ICYMI, the teaser trailer for Ahsoka Season 2 was released at D23 this past weekend. Take a look …
I’m excited to see Hayden Christensen back as Anakin Skywalker. He hasn’t had a role outside of Star Wars since 2019. Maybe he’s decided to embrace the typecast and will live out the rest of his career as live-action Anakin. The fans would love that; I know I would.
Of course, we will not see Ray Stevenson. He joined the Force shortly before the release of the first season, and it’s a shame. However, Rory McCann has been cast in the role. McCann is known for bringing George R. R. Martin’s “The Hound” to life in the Game of Thrones HBO series. I wonder if Filoni will do something to pay homage to him in this season.
The trailer leaves me with giggles and goosebumps, and I can’t wait to see it upon its release. Will we see more about the Mortis gods in live action? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you should probably go watch The Clone Wars, specifically season three episodes 15, 16, & 17.
Season 2 will be out January 20th, 2027 on Disney+
