Well it's here, the end of 2025. Many many movies were released last year and I am going to bring you what I think are the best films of 2025. This is a list of what I think is the ten best and the five worst. Please note that this is just one man's opinion and if you disagree with my picks, It's ok to be wrong., I'm just teasing but I would love to know what is on your list as well.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
