Premise: After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap, an unconventional team of antiheroes must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts.
Review: I went into this not having seen Black Widow. I never really had interest in that movie even though I enjoyed the cast. I read a little bit about Black Widow and what else I needed to know before this movie just to catch up. I love Florence Pugh and David Harbour. I knew that I would see them and anything they do. I also really enjoyed the Captain America Disney+ show where John Walker has Captain America for a short time. The scene in that that takes place in the middle of the city was one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in anything Marvel.
Anyway, I went into this movie, thinking that it would be a lot like Marvel’s Suicide Squad. A movie a comedic movie showcasing antiheroes as heroes and setting up a lot more for the universe. And this movie was just that. The movie is absolutely hilarious. I even labeled it has a Comedy has one of the genres above. But outside of that of the movie has a lot of heart and a lot of motion to it.
I still don’t know if I fully love the antagonist, but I thought that it was very different. I thought that it was very original. I thought that it was very innovative and I’m excited to see what they do with him next. The end of the movie set up a very big next phase in the Marvel universe. A lot of people are not very happy that is already been spoiled for those who have not seen the new movie, but it has been announced in the movie and in marketing that the movie is called Thunderbolts but has an asterrisk over it as it it is also called The New Avengers.
The Super Bowl isn’t just about football—it’s one of the biggest entertainment events of the year, drawing millions of viewers for the commercials, halftime show, and spectacle. In 2025, Super Bowl LIX reached a record 127.7 million viewers, with a peak of 135.7 million, making it one of the most-watched broadcasts in history. With such a massive audience, advertisers paid up to $8 million for a 30-second commercial spot, hoping to capture attention with creative, high-budget ads. The commercials have become just as much a part of the tradition as the game itself, sparking conversations and debates long after the final whistle. The halftime show also adds to the excitement, and this year’s performance by Kendrick Lamar, with a special guest appearance by SZA, had social media buzzing. Whether people watch for the ads, the music, or just the overall experience, the Super Bowl remains a must-watch event for millions.
There was the Ben Affleck Dunkin’ Donuts commercial that had do you wanna go down method acting in coffee. It was very Apocalypse Now.
There was the final trailer to the live action How to Train Your Dragon movie. While I don’t think we needed a live action, I am pretty excited to see it. The original movies are quite magical and feature one of my favorite musicians, Jonsi. they are also finishing a whole park in Universal for the franchise which looks great.
Well, I don’t really know much about this movie, I am excited for the new Marvel movies that are coming out this year like the new Captain America and new installment of the Fantastic Four. I think I read something that Thunderbolts is like Suicide Squad for Marvel. That’s what it looks like, a bunch of bad guys from various movies teaming up. Like I said, I don’t know much about it, but it is Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Sebastian Stan. That’s enough for me to be on board.
The Ritz commercial starring Aubrey Plaza and Michael Shannon as two people who get mistaken for never smiling was very funny.
Barry Keoghan riding on a horse over the Cliffs of Mohr was weird as hell so, naturally, I enjoyed it. Also, a modern day paper boy throwing laptops on peoples lawns was a cool perspective.
Seal as a seal was terrifying. I’ve already seen Justin Long as a seal and thought was all I would ever see. But hey, it was funny.
The Instacart commercial of all of the different products making their way to a house was really cool. It had been too long since we saw the Kool-Aid man bust through wall and an energizer bunny make its way down the street.
The Gordon Ramsay commercial with the alien technology used in the kitchen was fun. Even more with the surprise, Pete Davidson cameo reconfirmed that he is an alien. It seemed like a deleted scene from a Men in Black movie.
Speaking of batteries, the robotic Tom Brady commercial was pretty entertaining.
I love Glenn Powell. The man has chosen to work on some pretty cool projects. What I really like about him is that he doesn’t take himself too seriously and that he leans into his stereotypes. Especially in this commercial.
Decades later, Billy Crystal and Matt Ryan return to the deli where it all went down.
First, it was Eugene Levy’s eyebrows, and then it was Nick Offerman’s mustache. This commercial featured bird like mustaches traveling to the houses of Pringles customers.
How do I open? The Super Bowl had a lot of commercials that were pretty heartfelt and this is definitely my favorite one.
I had first thought that this was a trailer for a Toy Story horror movie. I’m not sure how to be had as much money as they did to put into the commercials for the Super Bowl, but man was this commercial fun and also terrifying.
This is the year for horror. I just saw Companion. I’m seeing The Monkey soon. we have many sequels coming out this year to horror movies such as Final Destination six.  And, Weil limited, this teaser trailer for the new Meghan 2.0, which features a sung by Chappell Roan, it’s enough to get people on board.
Kiernan Culkin is fresh off of the awards show circuit collecting trophy’s and nominations. So, why not play a Belluga in a commercial?
I love Post and I love Shane Gillis and this was a duo I didn’t know we needed.
Matt Damon and David Beckham as long lost brothers was hilarious. All the way up to the Ben Affleck dig at the end.
Premise: An up-and-coming chef and a recent divorcée find their lives forever changed when a chance encounter brings them together, in a decade-spanning, deeply moving romance.
My Premise: A love story told non-linear through the years.
Cast: Florence Pugh, Andrew Garfield
Review: I really wanted to love this movie. I adore Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh—two of my biggest celebrity crushes in one film. Plus, when I first saw the trailer, it reminded me of One Day and Like Crazy, two movies I truly enjoyed.
One thing that didn’t work for me was the non-linear storytelling. It was hard to build up to that emotional, tear-jerking ending when the film kept jumping around. I just finished watching This Is Us for the second time and loved how that show jumps through time. I cried plenty of times watching it, but you never fully feel the weight of missing Jack because you know you’ll keep seeing him in future episodes. Maybe this storytelling style works for television, but in film, it can be harder to pull off.
The third act of this movie also left me disappointed. There were choices made that I didn’t fully understand or agree with, and one big moment didn’t really land as intended.
As much as I wanted to love this movie—I love dramedies, I love love stories, and I enjoy getting emotional from a show or film—I didn’t quite get that feeling from this one.
That said, the acting is fantastic. It’s worth seeing for that alone. And the press surrounding this movie is definitely worth exploring. Garfield brought a cardboard cutout of Florence Pugh to a screening, which was hilarious. His interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and his segment with Elmo on Sesame Street are both beautiful, as he talks about channeling his grief over his mother’s recent passing into his performance for the film. And his appearance on Chicken Shop Date is one for the books!
