With the Oscars fast approaching, I thought I'd share my personal top ten #movies of 2025. 🙂 1. Sorry, Baby 2. Sentimental Value 3. Hamnet 4. Bring Her Back 5. Eddington 6. It Was Just an Accident 7. Marty Supreme 8. 28 Years Later 9. No Other Choice 10. One Battle After Another Vive le cinéma! 🍿

"A film by Eva Victor: Sorry, Baby." A young woman clutches a kitten bemusedly as a big puffy cloud and blue sky loom overhead."Sentimental Value, a film by Joachim Trier." An older man and his daughter stand together in a lush garden. They are close enough to be talking, but he looks past her and she past him.

i don't play the resident evil games but i've always admired their ability to give stuff names that are both dumb and cool. raccoon city. umbrella corporation. tyrant virus. all very dumb, all equally cool

Well, that was a rollicking State of Play! The new Kena and Mina the Hollower both have my attention, and that Konami showcase went quite hard with Darwin's Paradox, new Silent Hill, and new Castlevania. Not to mention the promising 2D God of War prequel that's apparently out right now?!

Kena astride a peacock-tailed mount in a moody, misty village with deep green foliage all around.Mina, a red mouse, unleashes her whip on an enemy on a bridge in charming pixel-art style.The player character in the new Castlevania game uses an ability to swing out over an abandoned street drenched in red light.A young spear-wielding Kratos against a painterly mountain backdrop in the new God of War side-scroller.

Bad Bunny’s halftime show combined music, dance, love and fun - it was a joy to watch! As a Latina I’m so proud and happy to see latin culture on display like this. Especially this year. This is the America I know and love 🇵🇷🇲🇽🇺🇸
