Reviews of the top geek movies, tv, and books in the industry.
The Rachels - 2025. Top Story - December 2025.
Much to my surprise, I have kept a list of the films I‘ve seen this year. I daresay it isn’t complete. There will be films that snuck in on a late night in front of the TV that I would’ve forgotten to note. Or others, that I went to watch at the cinema, but then had a red wine and promptly forgotten about. But it’s not a bad approximation of the films I’ve seen this year. In total, there are 53 films listed, so an average of one a week and one for good luck.

One More Shot Review
In an era where action movies often rely on rapid editing, CGI-heavy set pieces, and spectacle over substance, One More Shot arrives with a refreshing sense of discipline. Directed by James Nunn and starring Scott Adkins, the film is a direct sequel to One Shot (2021), and it doubles down on what made its predecessor stand out: a relentless real-time structure, grounded combat, and a focus on tension rather than excess.

The Shitheads: Why This Movie’s Crudeness Is Its Sharpest Weapon
At first glance, The Shitheads sounds like the kind of movie you’d dismiss without a second thought. The title alone feels confrontational—juvenile, abrasive, and deliberately uninviting. It practically dares the audience to roll their eyes and move on. But that reaction is exactly the point. Beneath the crude name and chaotic surface, The Shitheads uses discomfort as a tool, forcing viewers to confront the messy, unfiltered reality of people society often ignores, mocks, or writes off.

Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice: When Friendship Becomes a Question Instead of an Answer
Some movies are built around big events—crimes, romances, disasters, or triumphs. Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice does something far quieter and far more unsettling. It builds itself around people talking, drifting, misunderstanding one another, and slowly realizing that familiarity doesn’t guarantee connection.

Hershey: Sweetness, Power, and the Complicated Cost of Legacy
At first glance, Hershey feels like it should be comforting. The name alone carries cultural associations with warmth, nostalgia, and indulgence. Chocolate is tied to childhood, celebration, and reward. A movie bearing that name seems destined to be gentle, reassuring, maybe even sentimental.

Sheepdog: When Protection Becomes a Prison
Movies about strength often mistake loudness for power. They rely on explosions, dominance, and spectacle to communicate what it means to protect others. Sheepdog takes a very different approach. It is a quiet, restrained film that examines protection not as heroism, but as burden—and sometimes, as a trap.
