There were five films that I put on and took off the best of the year list multiple times. Where they belong will be determined by when I'm asked about them. They are the 2025 BOUNCERS unseenfilms.net/2025/12/the-...

Catch-up Capsules: EDEN and JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH unseenfilms.net/2025/12/catc...

The 2025 Film Finds- those films that may not be the best but too good not to note at the end of the year www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/film...

Catch up Capsules: COLLECTIVE MONOLOGUES and THE SUMMER HOUSE www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/catc...

The original plan was not to have reviews when the year end lists dropped but I've been watching movies and there will be lots of reviews into next week (And for those who are curious the Disappointments list is up at Unseen unseenfilms.net/2025/12/the-...)

Catch up Capsules: I'M NOT EVERYTHING I WANTED TO BE and REIFENSTAHL unseenfilms.net/2025/12/catc...

The march to the new year begins with my list of the films that disappointed me and that I disliked the most www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/the-...

Starting to shift my attention toward 2026 films and festivals. really mixed results

in the Nightcap: I am haunted by Tezuka; thoughts on the future, a word of advice for those who cooking their IMDB ratings and some Oscar Shortlist animation www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/nigh...

And the science and locations in NYC that are in the last Jurassic World film are making me nuts

WAKE UP DEAD MAN is the best of the Knives Out Films.

A local theater is going to run Peter Greenaways THE PILLOW BOOK and I suddenly realize I have no memory of the film. I know I saw it- I remember going to the theater- but I have zero memory of the film itself

Jay The Chou's work

More Catchup Capsules: ELWAY, MARCELLA and BLUR TO THE END www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/catc...

@grawlixy.bsky.social and @bullythelsb.bsky.social the giant $4.50 chocolate chip cookie from Central Market wasn't worth that price. Yea it was big but just okay

Using the occasional On Further Review banner to take a look at ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, a other film writers seem to love but which left me wondering what they saw. My explanation as to why is here. www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/on-f...

The Solzy Awards for 2025 in Film are here!

A reminder when you look at IMDB and see the rating always check to see if all the people reviewing a film have ever reviewed before - you shouldn't have all the reviews for a film a first review. Also when cooking your films rating don't have 17 of 20 star rating 10 out of 10

While the digital revolution allows some people who could never afford to make films to do so... at the same time it also allows people who should never make films to do so. Just watched an example of the second.

I saw Ron Howard's EDEN on the worst of the year lists, and while I'm not a fan, my thought in reflecting back having seen it was "how few films did you see this year that you actually took the time to note it as bad?" Half an hour out and I've already forgotten it.

Some people are noting how they are leaving 2025. Here is my contribution to the threads

Watching a movie about a lonely heart who comes out of their shell to form a found family with an unlikely group of strangers. That’s right, Alien (1979) is a Christmas movie

From the National Film Bord of Canada comes the Oscar Short Listed animated gem THE GIRL WHO CRIED PEARLS. www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/the-...

Back to watching films in a mad dash to see stuff before the year ends. Lots of okay films in the last 36 hours

the promised snowmageddon ( as snow was beginning to fall we were warned to be ready for a foot) ended up being about 3 inches and done before day break

Excellent poster for a pretty solid spaghetti western. A LONG RIDE FROM HELL starring Steve Reeves! Learn more here: www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Vi... #filmsky

Capsule Catch Ups: TRON ARES and SPRINGSTEEN DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/caps...

Because @bullythelsb.bsky.social needs to be silly - cat farts (apologies to anyone who thought I was actually a mature person) youtube.com/shorts/zhSJw...

The Year End Lists begin dropping Monday THE DISAPPOINTMENTS( Monday) THE FILM FINDS(Tuesday) THE BOUNCERS THE BEST OF 2025 PART 1 (Wednesday) THE BEST PERFORMANCES THE BEST OF THE BEST (Thursday) Why so late? Because I hope to watch some more before years end

I saw BANR for @Slamdance in January and I said I expected it to be in my top three films of 2025.As it stands now it's the top film...and I am guessing almost none of you saw it. unseenfilms.net/2025/02/banr...

Catch up Capsules: ORWELL 2=2= 5 and THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME unseenfilms.net/2025/12/catc...

One of the best times at the movies this year was seeing Steve Zahn & Ethan Hawke in SHE DANCES about a dad & his daughter at a dance recital. It is beyond glorious - and seeing it with Liz Whittmore was a blast Its one of my best films of 2025 unseenfilms.net/2025/06/she-...

COVER-UP about Seymour Hersh is now on Netflix unseenfilms.net/2025/12/cover-

I saw this live an it makes me smile every time I think of it youtu.be/Vv_MdVxogRg?...

AFTERNOONS OF SOLITUDE is probably Albert Serra's best film. An unflinching look at bullfighting its a film that stays with you and strips away the artifice www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/afte...

I finally finished Tara Wood's TIM BURTON LIFE IN THE LINE and it's amazing. Its one of the best examinations of the creativer process of an artist I've ever seen. A must see www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/tim-...

...Thanks, Steve.

Off the board of new release and back to the dayed when Eddie Constantine was a superstar in Europe. HOT MONEY GIRL has Eddie trying to retrieve a box of jewels he hid during the war. Great stuff www.unseenfilms.net/2020/11/hot-...

Some of SONG SUNG BLUE is as good as movie going got in 2025, and some of it isn't. Hollywood trying to make a complex story into "the feel good film of the season" results in a number of bumps unseenfilms.net/2025/12/song...

I suddenly find it funny that my Grandmother's first name was Dorothy and she was married to a man whose mother was the cousin of Margret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch of the West Then again when they married Oz was not so big as to cause anyone to have this thought

THE PLAGUE is a look at bullying at a summer camp for water polo. Its well made, great looking, wonderfully acted but with a script that lets the top of the line work get sidelined by not doing anything unexpected & not having anything new to say www.unseenfilms.net/2025/12/the-...

Life is a FIlm Festival on that other site posted this: If you haven’t seen it as the mystery movie tonight, use the promo code ZOMBIE on Fandango to get a free ticket (or $15 off) to WE BURY THE DEAD with Daisy Ridley on its opening weekend (Jan 1-4).
