Hopeful, heroic, and unapologetically earnest, THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is exciting, emotional, smart, and above all, fun. And proof that Marvel Studios can still make great movies. Full review at the link below. #TheFantasticFour thejamreport.com/2025/07/23/rev…

itsdougjam's tweet card. After years of false starts, fizzled origin stories, and some truly baffling tonal choices, Marvel’s First Family finally gets the film it always deserved. Directed with confident flair by Matt...

Got to see the AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH trailer early. Nothing else to say but it looks every bit as spectacular as the previous films. Darker vibes to everything plus a tantalising glimpse of the antagonist Varang. Ready to return to Pandora in December. #Avatar

#THEFANTASTICFOUR: FIRST STEPS is the best adaptation of Stan Lee/Jack Kirby's comic and the strongest MCU film in years. The cast is sensational with warm familial chemistry. The 60s aesthetic is gorgeous. The score is phenomenal. Sublime visuals & action. A huge win for Marvel.

It won’t redefine the slasher genre or become a classic overnight, but #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer offers a fresh take with enough twists and gory kills to keep you hooked. Full review at the link below. thejamreport.com/2025/07/17/rev…

itsdougjam's tweet card. Few horror franchises stay dead forever, especially ones built on the bones of 90s nostalgia and the primal thrill of a killer wielding a hook. With I Know What You Did Last Summer, director Jennifer...

While #IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer stumbles terribly in its final stretch, it's still a genuinely tense and thrilling old-school slasher. It doesn't drown in nostalgia but knows precisely when to inject it. Great cast of characters, some gnarly kills, and plenty of surprises.

My favourite part of every press screening is when we all line up at the end to enter one of those wind tube machines and stuff as much of the studio's money in our pockets as we can.

remember folks, all the positive press is because they’re paid to be at the screening

Led by a star-making performance from David Corenswet and crafted by James Gunn with warmth, spectacle, and a surprising amount of introspection, #SUPERMAN is a genuinely rousing return to form. Full review at the link below. thejamreport.com/2025/07/09/rev…

itsdougjam's tweet card. It’s strange to feel a sense of relief walking out of a Superman movie, but here we are. After years of tonal inconsistency, mythic gloom, and joyless overcorrection, James Gunn’s 2025 Superman...

#Superman is a great way to begin the new age of DC Studios. James Gunn delivers a hugely entertaining spectacle with so much heart and humour. David Corenswet is phenomenal in the dual roles he was born to play. It's got its flaws but too few to be fatal. Krypto steals the film.

A film that doesn’t know why it exists, doesn’t care that it doesn’t know, and assumes you won’t either, JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is less a return to form than a weary shuffle through familiar territory. Full review at the link below. #JurassicWorldRebirth thejamreport.com/2025/07/02/rev…

itsdougjam's tweet card. When a franchise survives long enough to see its own bones picked clean, what’s left is usually one of two things: a surprising reinvention or the cinematic equivalent of a decaying animatronic at...

While JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is a vast improvement on the last disastrous film, it's damaged by atrocious dialogue, irritating characters, and a reductive plot that hits too many familiar franchise beats. A few great set pieces can't save it from itself. #JurassicWorldRebirth

M3GAN 2.0 sacrifices some of the original’s horror tension in favour of bigger, bolder spectacle, but it never loses its sense of campy fun in this wild, weird, and wonderfully entertaining sequel. Full review at the link below. #M3GAN2 thejamreport.com/2025/06/26/rev…

itsdougjam's tweet card. Sometimes a sequel doesn’t just follow the leader, it bolts off on a wildly different track, laying fresh rails as it speeds into new territory. M3GAN 2.0, the tongue-in-cheek, high-gloss continuat...

Led by a subtly mesmerising performance from Josh O'Connor, THE MASTERMIND is a quiet but biting character study of mediocrity dressed up in delusions of grandeur. Full review at the link below. #TheMastermind #SydFilmFest thejamreport.com/2025/06/24/syd…

itsdougjam's tweet card. There’s a strange kind of thrill in watching someone utterly unequipped to pull off a crime still give it their best shot. In The Mastermind, Kelly Reichardt takes what could have easily been another...
