Weapons (2025)
I’m pretty late to the party but it does feel good to catch back up on the films of 2025 and see what everyone couldn’t stop talking about at the time, and I must say, it was pretty much worth the hype. Horror isn’t my favorite genre but I always enjoy a good scare every now and then and that’s exactly what I got when I finally watched Weapons. This was the movie that terrified me more than my anxiety about someone judging me would and I can’t remember the last time I saw a f

Stranger than Fiction (2006)
I’ve loved watching Will Ferrell’s work since I was a kid. Sure, a lot of his work consists of him playing characters who are more loud and obnoxious than I can be but for me, that’s what makes him such a joy to watch.

Wicked: Part 1 (2024)
When I was a kid, I saw the original stage version of Wicked with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth in London.

The story might have always been floating around in my head the way my brain loves to keep familiar things on an endless special-interest loop but it was always more in a “Yeah, I know this,” not in a “This is my persona

Frankenstein (1931)
Let’s take a trip through the Jake Ehrlich archives and go way, way back to the 1930’s. I’ve seen quite a bit of classics from this era such as King Kong, Dracula, The Wizard of Oz, Duck Soup, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Gone with the Wind, and The Adventures of Robin Hood. As someone with a deep and passionate interest in movies (not really surprising when it comes to me), I’m kind of ashamed to admit that it’s taken me this long to watch the original Frankenstein. In h
