Ten Movies You Should Be Excited For In 2025 (Movies)

By

     


   Tis the season for optimism but we are sort of nearing a tipping point. The war rages on between the cinema and streamers with no true end in scope. Yet in a time where many have chanted to survive till 2025 we are finally here and my normally pessimistic self can’t help but feel excited for what is to come. From Cruise to Marvel here are the 10 movies you should be excited for.


10: 28 Years Later 

A sequel not quite 28 years in the making presents a stacked cast with Aaron Taylor-Johnson to name one. Not to mention the new and innovative way of filming could change the game of how movies look from here on out. 


9: F1

Brad Pitt, an old movie star, pairs up with the director of Top Gun Maverick for a high speed racing movie in the world of one earth's fastest growing sports. Hell. Freaking. Yeah. 


8: Micheal 

Music bio picks may feel the same each time yet we keep on going and they keep getting awards buzz. Expect no difference from the movie that will try to cover one of the most complex and controversial lives of maybe America's biggest music icon.


7: The Bride

Perhaps the most overlooked movie on this list and that is a shame. With Bale and Buckley this movie is dripping with untapped horror movie talent especially with Maggie Gyllenhal behind the camera. 


6: Ballerina 

The heat that was coming off Ana De Armas may have cooled a bit but her skill is undeniable and the Wick franchise may be just what she needs. Pairing a young star with high octane action has had mixed results but I have high expectations for this one. 


5: Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning 

Cruise is still the unquestioned movie star in a town starved for stars. Expect quality at a minimum and exhilaration at best. 


4: Avatar: Fire and Ash

I am a known hater of both Cameron’s mythos and of his style over substance approach. However these movies practically print money and this one seems as though it could be the darkest installment yet and Cameron can really give a spectacle.


3: Wicked: For Good 

Wicked was one of the most shocking films of 2024 for me. The second installment will not have the benefit of lower expectations yet the Wicked Witch truly becoming her villainous self seems well worth high expectations.  Plus, new soundtrack!


2: Jurassic World Rebirth 

I might be one of the first to tell you that I have hoped for the death of this franchise, the latter installments of the Jurassic World trilogy I absolutely loathe. Yet competent directions and stars that are not always action heroes intrigues me for some reason. Like it intrigues me a lot. 


1: Fantastic Four First Steps 

Fantastic Four has finally arrived in the MCU. The director is good, the concept is intriguing, and the cast looks damn near perfect. Marvel desperately needs a new hit and not to have to go back to playing the hits. I would be shocked if this isn’t one of the best MCU movies ever, I know it's a hot take. I’m not backing off either.

The Lost Raider Way (Sports)

By
          Whether it’s Vegas, Oakland, or Los Angeles the name Raiders use to represent something real. Something tangible. It’s been almost a quarter century since the Raiders last were in the big game. The AFC Championship prior to that Super Bowl whooping at the hands of former Raider Jon Gruden is the last time the Raiders won a playoff game.  There is a generation of fans that only know mediocrity at best when it comes to the Raiders. A generation of fans who only know the revolving door of coaches and quarterbacks. A long fall from grace for one of the NFL’s most important franchises.  If you're not up on your NFL history here's a crash course. In the early days of the Super Bowl era NFL the league was popping but it needed a villain and who better than the team with the pirate on its helmet that wore silver and black. The Raiders of those days followed one rule, “cheating is encouraged” this for many Raiders of the day meant literal che...

Forgotten: Chuck Noll (Sports)

By
            In 2014, Chuck Noll was mentioned in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It was the year of his death with the issue coming out as a beautiful homage to the late coach. Or, to be more precise, it would have been a beautiful homage if his name hadn’t been spelled wrong. How was it possible that someone who built a legacy and transformed Pittsburgh's athletic identity could become overlooked almost immediately? Forgotten by the wider public, perhaps his work didn’t stand the test of time when flashier football coaches with larger personalities came onto the football scene. He wasn’t one for flashiness, wasn’t even one for high fiving his players on the sidelines of a game when they made a good play. Chuck Noll, however, led the Steelers to win Super Bowl IX, X, XIII, and XIV. He won four championships in just six years and made complete legends out of his players.   Fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers had watched Chuck Noll lead them to victor...
