I like Blumhouse's films even if some of them aren't that great, but when I saw the trailer for this film I was just getting generic horror movie vibes from it like nothing was being done with it, especially when I found out this was from Blumhouse; but the main reason I saw this was because it was known as Blumhouse's most hated film and that lots of people either hated it or liked/loved it, so from that I was at least intrigued to see why this was having so much divided attention. The Woman in the Yard (2025) was honestly not as bad as I thought it was going to be especially since there are good performances, heavy themes and topics, nice cinematography, a simple but intimidating entity, and some cool camera work with the movements and shadows; the issues involve plot holes, some messy execution in some scenes, and unexplained moments that could have been expanded on.
The performances were good, with there being a good enough family dynamic between the mom and the two kids, and the focus was the mom and her issues to keep going after the loss of her husband, which were intense but handled well; the mom is questioning what the woman in the yard is, and trying to keep he kids safe despite the teenage son wanting to do things another way and the younger daughter being oblivious to certain things going on. The kids as characters were not, though they can get annoying at times, I thought of it as the family trying to understand why someone is sitting on their property and coming closer somehow; the family dynamic is what drives the film because of the crummy situation they are in while living in a fixer upper house dealing with each other, so it helps to make the characters at least somewhat likable in order for the film to work more effectively.
The reveal of who/what the woman in the yard was surprising, leading to heavy themes about grief and depression, and under things under the surface that might turn people off when they watch this, but what was interesting was the idea of the woman in the yard and that they handled these heavy themes very well, along with some intense hard to watch moments; but, though I liked the themes and how they handled it, the issues involve the messy execution of the themes and ideas, plot holes once you know what is going on, and moments that could have been better explained. The last thing I liked was the cinematography and the one ___location we are stuck at, that being a fixer upper farmhouse; there were also effective uses of camera angles and shadows, and the way the woman in the yard was shot in the sunny landscape and shadows was well-done.

This wasn't an excellent Blumhouse film, but it wasn't terrible, it was just good enough, because it only turned out better than I was expecting, considering the marketing in the trailers; give this film a chance to see what it's hiding, but it might not be for everyone, so go in with an open mind or just skip this film entirely.

I have been on board with the Mission: Impossible franchise since the great first film, though the sequels Mission: Impossible 2 (2000) was not that good and Mission: Impossible 3 (2006) was just ok, the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh film have been very good making this franchise a great action franchise; so, now that we are on the final film of the franchise twenty-nine years later, I am both excited and cautiously interested on how this eighth and final film will end the long running franchise. The final eighth film Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning (2025) was a satisfying conclusion to the franchise with great performances, amazing action, cool cinematography, and stunts, along with great suspense and remarkably high stakes; the film has a couple funny moments, but it takes itself seriously building the drama because of the climatic finality of it all, so just expect not much humor like the other films and a long near three hour runtime that could have been trimmed a little.
Tom Cruise is still great as Ethan Hunt because he is still a likable character who does look a little worn out because of his long journey throughout each film but also trying to stay ready for action so he can save the day again from this big threat in his final mission thinking what is the right way to deal with this. The rest of the IMF team with Benji, Luther, and Grace were all just as likable as the lead character Ethan Hunt, with them having great performances and likable personalities with their unique skill set; the team dynamic of the film drives the film forward, so if anything big happens, you care if the team will survive and make it out alive; also, having Paris played great by Pom Klementieff was cool having help them out on the mission after the events of part one in the last film. Lastly, I will just add that I like the idea of the government or the rest of the world being against everything Ethan Hunt has done in the last seven films despite things happening for a good reason and are just accidental collateral damage.
The villain from the last film Gabriel played well by Esai Morales was still not a bad villain, with him having a past with Ethan Hunt that was introduced in the last film, though him serving the entity was interesting because of the influence of AI, but he can be intimidating too at times; but he did become an over the top character as this film went on with him being crazy in scenes or just over the top evil in other scenes. The action sequences are still great like the past seven entries in the franchise, with the great suspense and impressive practical stunts that you know Tom Cruise is doing for real, along with the film having high stakes; issues involve the near three-hour runtime, drawn out scenes, scenes that could be cut out, and that there could have been more humor like the last seven films; there are a couple moments that were funny, but the film mainly takes itself seriously and focuses on the finality and tension of the situations.
The final eighth film Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning (2025) was a satisfying conclusion to the franchise with great performances, amazing action, cool cinematography, excellent stunts, and some emotional stuff, along with great suspense and remarkably high stakes; the film has a couple funny moments, but it takes itself seriously building the drama because of the climatic finality of it all, so just expect not much humor like the other films and a long near three hour runtime that could have been trimmed a little. This was a satisfying conclusion to the long running Mission: Impossible franchise ending twenty-nine years later, so this is for the fans of the franchise and for just action movie fans, so as someone who is both, I highly recommend this; it might not be better than three or four of the last entries, but it is still worth watching despite the issues, making this a great final entry.

Lately the Marvel Cinematic Universe has not been as great as it should be, with its recent films and shows being not that good or just ok, and the show The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021-2021) I did like but had a couple issues with but liked that Sam Wilson/Falcon was becoming the new Captain America; with the fourth Captain America film being his first film in the role, I want it to be good. The Marvel film Captain America: Brave New World (2025) was just ok at best with good acting, dialogue or script issues, weird uses of CGI and green screen, plot holes and things that are dissatisfying, and tie-ins to a Marvel Hulk film from seventeen years ago that gets wrapped up in this Captain America film; the reshoots and difficulties behind the scene are noticeable in this, whether its CGI, green screen, or rushed lines of dialogue from characters in certain scenes that stand out.
I still like Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Captain America, and the dilemma he goes through on if he should be Captain America and if he should have taken the super soldier serum while trying to do his best in this role, that part of the movie I did like when it wasn't cutting back and forth between mining rights and a mystery going on despite knowing who it is. The new Falcon Joaquin Torres was ok, like he did not do much in the film except have some comedic banter with Sam Wilson and try to help in the action sequences before being out of the rest of the film; his character was fine but did not add much except comic relief. Lastly, Harrison Ford gives a reliable performance as Thaddeus Ross, trying to prove he has changed since other Marvel film events which was I also liked, but when it tries to prove he is changed or is doing something right, it reveals he did something wrong in the past until the end; I'll just add seeing him turn into Red Hulk in the third act was cool with a cool CGI design and look to him.
The villain is Samuel Stern/The Leader who was affected back in The Incredible Hulk (2008), though actor Tim Blake Nelson is giving an excellent performance, what the character does is not that great and despite his hatred against Thaddeus Ross is his motive, he did not prove he had a superior intellect like he is supposed to have by being bested at certain points and having a weak conclusion near the third act climax; also the inclusion of Giancarlo Esposito as Sidewinder did not do much except to give information or have some action scenes against Sam Wilson. The action scenes are cool and fun despite the noticeable CGI and green screen, but what is difficult to understand is that this film felt more like an The Incredible Hulk (2008) sequel by tying up the loose ends from that film in this in generic ways, along with plot holes and script issues with the dialogue; the reshoots and behind the scenes did a lot to this film to mess up the story and the espionage tone it was trying to copy from the Marvel film a while back Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014).
The Marvel film Captain America: Brave New World (2025) was just ok at best with good acting, dialogue or script issues, weird uses of CGI and green screen, plot holes and things that are dissatisfying, and tie-ins to a Marvel Hulk film from 17 years ago that gets wrapped up in this Captain America film; the reshoots and difficulties behind the scene are noticeable in this, whether its CGI, green screen, or rushed lines of dialogue from characters in certain scenes that stand out. This was not terrible, and it was not great, it was just ok, which was disappointing because I could have seen this being good but the reshoots and the fact that it felt more like a The Incredible Hulk (2008) sequel brought it down; this is not Marvel's worst but it is not their best, along with a lackluster after credits sequence, so this film might not be a high recommendation when the last three Captain America films were better.
