  • R Rating Ep22 - Jurassic Park
    Feb 9 2026

    Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park remains one of the most influential blockbusters ever made, blending groundbreaking visual effects with suspense, wonder, and unforgettable moments. Decades later, the question isn’t just how it looks—but why it still works.

    In this R Rating movie review, I break down Jurassic Park (1993) with an honest look at its storytelling, pacing, practical effects, and use of CGI that still puts modern films to shame. We’ll talk about Spielberg’s direction, John Williams’ iconic score, the film’s themes of control versus chaos, and how Jurassic Park balances awe and terror better than almost any blockbuster.

    Is Jurassic Park the perfect summer movie? And why has no sequel ever truly matched its magic?

    If you’re a fan of classic movies, sci-fi adventure, or thoughtful movie reviews that go deeper than nostalgia, this one’s for you.

  • R Rating Ep21 - Mad Max Furiosa
    Feb 5 2026

    George Miller returns to the wasteland with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a brutal, kinetic prequel that tells the origin of one of modern cinema’s most iconic characters. Trading Max for Furiosa, this film dives deep into survival, power, and vengeance—but does it live up to the insanity of Mad Max: Fury Road?

    In this R Rating movie review, I break down Furiosa with an honest look at its storytelling, action design, world-building, and performances. We’ll talk about Anya Taylor-Joy stepping into the role of Furiosa, Chris Hemsworth’s villainous turn, George Miller’s visual language, and how this film expands the Mad Max universe while standing on its own.

    Is Furiosa a worthy companion piece to Fury Road—or an unnecessary deep dive into backstory? Let’s talk about it.

    If you’re a fan of Mad Max movies, post-apocalyptic action, or director-driven blockbuster filmmaking, this one’s for you.

  • R Rating Ep20 - Gremlins 1 & 2
    Feb 3 2026

    Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch are two wildly different takes on the same idea—one a dark Christmas horror-comedy, the other a full-blown cartoon satire. Together, they form one of the strangest and most fascinating duologies in movie history.

    In this R Rating movie review, I break down Gremlins (1984) and Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), comparing tone, humor, chaos, and intent. We’ll talk about Joe Dante’s direction, the blend of horror and comedy, practical creature effects, studio satire, and how Gremlins 2 deliberately dismantles everything the first film built.

    Is Gremlins still a perfect subversive Christmas classic? And is Gremlins 2 a misunderstood masterpiece—or complete insanity?

    If you’re a fan of 80s movies, horror comedies, or movie reviews that celebrate weird, ambitious filmmaking, this one’s for you.
