Hey everyone! I'm back to talk some pop culture goodness (in written form) and what better way to kick off the year then to share the movies I am super excited to enjoy in 2025. Even though I can't tell you if this'll be another hit year of movies, there is still quite a bit that'll have me cherish the movie going experience and do it with my fiancee, family and friends. So without further ado here are my HONORABLE MENTIONS before the BIG 10!
PADDINGTON IN PERU looks like another delightful entry compared to its predecessors.
DOG MAN looks utterly bonkers, but a very creative DreamWorks project that looks to be fun on its own.
THE BAD GUYS 2 looks like so much fun and made me feel compelled to finally check out the previous movie. I just love how these DreamWorks movies have been looking from a fresh visual perspective.
MEGAN 2.0 is a horror sequel I'm honestly very pumped for because I loved the first movie so much for its thrills and originality.
PREDATOR BADLANDS will just be another awesome standalone film in the Predator series and seeing as Dan Trachtenberg will return to direct after directing Prey, I am beyond hyped!
MORTAL KOMBAT II is so exciting given how much I love this franchise down to the games and a few of the previous movies!
FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 2 is a sequel I can't wait to see given how much I was invested in the lore just by watching the first movie. I couldn't get into the games, but the movie was fun enough for me to enjoy the series and eventually see more of the story play out.
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON looks like a very faithful adaptation to an animated film series that I love and I can't wait to see what will be added in the live action medium.
SNOW WHITE may be a controversial release from Disney and there's the whole live action remake argument. But I'm one of the fans that remains more positive to them and I think this looks very inviting and lighthearted. It will have the same heart as the original and will be so enjoyable in its own right.
LILO AND STITCH is probably the most excited I've ever been towards a Disney remake because I'm excited to see the sci-fi world of Stitch brought to live action. This looks to be just as enjoyable as the previous films and honestly I love seeing this love for Stitch continue. What's not to love?
THUNDERBOLTS* (as its titled now) I'm more hyped for over Cap's new movie because of the idea of seeing a brand new team on screen with new dynamics and interactions and how it'll further what we love in the Marvel franchise.
THE KINGS OF KINGS looks like a beautiful interpretation about the life of Christ displayed in really stylistically unique CG animation that gives me stop motion vibes. I just love seeing how more films are enriching faith in a very spectacular fashion.
And lastly since it's considered a 2024 release (it was released at festivals and a couple major cities to qualify for Awards Season), I'm so excited to see that this movie will get a wide release.
THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP A LOONEY TUNES MOVIE is in my Top 2 Most Anticipated Animated Movies of all time (#1 will be discussed very soon ;) ). I can't tell you how happy I am to finally see a fully hand drawn animated movie with characters I've always loved. This'll be a whacky, imaginative, and freaking fun experience at the movies. It's awesome to see the love for these characters still alive in this day and age, treated with just as much as care as it was in its prime.
Those are my HONORABLE MENTIONS, so stay tuned for my Top 10 where I'll share the movies I'm even more delighted to finally see when the time comes. Hope you all enjoyed, can't wait to share the next thing and take care as always.
