Final Destination. Content Warning.
Final Destination: Bloodlines released May 16, 2025 and is the sixth film in the franchise. Streaming service HBO Max (more recently known as Max before reverting to its original name) decided to stream all five of the previous films in case audiences wanted to watch or rewatch them before or after seeing the new movie. I’d never seen any of them, so I decided to give them a viewing.

Joker: Folie à Deux
(Warning: Contains spoilers) Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) released October 4, 2024 is the sequel to the much more successful Joker (2019), both starring Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role. The film has received mostly negative reviews and low rating scores amongst critics and audiences alike. It also has been a flop at the box office and even allegedly had audience members walking out mid-showing. This negative response is due largely to the fact that it was a musical, and a lot of people apparently didn’t go in prepared for it to be a musical.

Trap
Trap (2024) is M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller, released August 2, 2024 to mostly mixed reviews. The film stars Josh Hartnett as Cooper, a dad who’s secretly a serial killer known as “The Butcher.” The biggest surprise of the film is that there is no real “twist ending” in the way we’ve come to expect from all of Shyamalan’s movies, but it is instead a more straightforward thriller. Another notable feature is that the movie is drenched in imagery and symbolism, and yet we leave uncertain as to what any of it was supposed to mean.
