100-Word Movie Reviews
The Running Man (2025), Director: Edgar Wright The Running Man is an action-packed comedy. It stars Glen Powell as Ben Richards, who I hope merits more starring roles because he is a talented actor. Only, his performance doesn’t save the film, which is an ongoing rollercoaster of repetitive jokes. The signature quick-cut humor and satirical tone of Edgar Wright are present, but he rushes through the social commentary. The action sequences last too long. The fight-in-a-towel scene made me laugh. Apparently, Powell had to film this in cold weather. Michael Cera is the funniest supporting cast member with Powell. I always like a Stephen King movie adaptation.

🐾 The Pet Detective 2025 Stole My Heart And My Popcorn 🍿
The Comedy We Didn't Know We Needed There is a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from living in the 2020s. It’s a low-level hum of anxiety, a constant scroll of bad news, and a cinematic landscape dominated by multiverse stakes where the entire fabric of reality is always five minutes away from collapsing. I walked into the theater to see The Pet Detective expecting nothing more than a distraction. I expected slapstick. I expected maybe a talking dog or two. I expected to check my watch.

Keeping Up Appearances
One of the many shows I used to watch with my nan as a kid was Keeping Up Appearances. I didn't know how to appreciate it at the time because I was very young, but I always thought the character, Hyacinth was so funny. Watcing the show as an adult made it apreciate it even more. So many talented actors took part in the show and it feels very real. Hyacinth reminds me of a modern day influencer where she tries to make herself posher than she really is. I think many can relate to her even though the modern say social media didn't exist at the time.
