Every year, I try my best to put together a list of the 20 best performances of the year, though last year I was only able to make a 10-person list due to personal reasons. This year, I more than made up for it with a 20-person list of performances that were the best of the year. Now, as usua,l I wish to bring up that “Best” is a marketing term which really just means “Shit that I liked a lot”, these aren’t going to be the award winners or things that might be considered the height of the craft but they are the most fun, interesting or jaw dropping performances of the year that I just couldn’t stop thinking about. Of course, every list needs some honourable mentions, so here’s mine with no explanations for why they’re here (Ask nicely and maybe I’ll explain them… or not)

The Top Ten Worst Films Of 2025
2025 has been another one of those years where it feels like everything is going wrong; we’ve had a lot of those lately. It’s just one hard hit after another, and there’s no real end in sight. Personally, this year I ended up leaving the job that caused me to not do this properly last year (long story but hey, maybe employers shouldn’t treat their employees like shit!), which meant I was able to actually catch up on films at a more reasonable pace and… I don’t know, maybe I just got worse taste but this year it was actually kind of hard to find 10 worst films to put on a list because everything I saw was either good or better… but don’t worry, I found 10 pieces of shit, let’s scream about them to get the bile out. The rules for these lists are back in the Best one (go read it, I picked some wild ones this year)

Snow White (2025) – Rotting Apple
Released: 20th March
Seen: 26th June
It’s hard to describe how much the world changed on December 21st, 1937, when Walt Disney premiered his feature-length animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Up to that point, no one thought it was possible; movies were still a young medium at that point, but animated cartoons were meant to just be small things put at the front of the proper movie, never the actual main event. Disney changed all that and created an entire genre of cinema. The original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is an undeniable classic, even without the historical relevance that comes with being the first of its kind; it’s also just a fantastic film with songs that we still hum to this day and some of the most iconic characters in the animated medium. It’s one of those retellings that redefined the original story. When you think of the story of Snow White there’s a good chance you think of the Disney version, you almost certainly revert to the names Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy, Bashful, Happy, Sleepy and Dopey for the dwarfs. It’s a piece of cinematic history that we should respect… and by “We” I mean “Disney” because based on what they did with the 2025 remake, I don’t think they respect their own history at all.
