No Other Choice (2025). Top Story - February 2026.
It is only February, so other films may well surpass “No Other Choice”, but I think this is the best film I’ve seen so far this year. And that surprises me, because, it is a subtitled film and while I am pretentious enough to choose to watch foreign-language films, I was also very tired and that was an extra commitment from me. But more importantly, let me warn you, this film is gruesome and violent. There were times I had to turn away from the screen to avoid the worst of it (including some self-inflicted dentistry).

Film Review: The Marsh King's Daughter
Nothing will quite capture the feeling of first watching, The Marsh King's Daughter drunk in a dark living room, my friend passed out on her couch beside me, a stripper pole partially obscuring my view. More than a little tipsy and annoyed that my friend had roped me into watching this psychological thriller I'd never heard of before falling asleep on me ten minutes in, I got my snacks and hunkered down. Within the first few minutes of The Marsh King's Daughter though, the snacks were forgotten and I was hooked. Later on, I was grateful my friend was sleeping so I could process all of the messy emotions the film brought out in me in drunken semi-privacy.

Disney’s Next Era: A Fan-Centered, Creator-Driven Vision for the Company That Once Imagined the Future.
Disney is at a crossroads. Not in the dramatic “end of an era” way people say every few years, but in a quieter, more important way. Disney has more money, more platforms, and more fandom franchises than ever before, and yet something feels off.

The Revenant
The Revenant was released to theatres on December 25, 2015. In Virginia in 1823 a group of frontiersmen are forced to flee with their fur trade after an attack on their camp site. The journey takes a setback when one man named Hugh Glass is brutally mauled by a grizzly bear and left too injured to take care of himself. Soon, his caretakers decide to leave him for dead upon fear that they will be attacked and killed themselves. This is where the title comes in: “as if back from the dead to seek revenge.” In the role that earned him his Oscar win, Leonardo DiCaprio shines as Hugh Glass as he literally pulls himself out of the hole he was in and pushes himself through snow covered woods and freezing temperatures all while injured. When portraying a historical figure, it is important to be authentic. DiCaprio was so committed to the role he actually ate raw meat on camera. Upon recent viewing I noticed how much DiCaprio acted through his eyes. In times when Glass was not speaking to anyone every emotion he felt was seen, whether this was as reaction to the present or having a memory, it was all in the eyes.
