if you liked Sinners, what this next | by Film Probe

IF you liked Sinners? Ha, what am I on about - of course you liked sinners!!

At its core, Sinners (2025) is a film about, brotherhood, survival, good vs evil, supernatural threat, music, culture and community. The films i’ve picked for this list all feature at least one of these themes, some are more obvious than others but all are guaranteed to entertain you.

I had so many options to pick from for this list, Sinners was an incredibly inspiring and unique movie but it also reminded me why I love cinema. The story was poetic at times, the use of music was transcendent but most of all the core theme of brotherhood was magnetic.

Sinners (2025) is easily the best film i’ve seen this year and if you haven’t seen it yet, what are you doing? But if you’re like me and you have seen it, these films might quench a little of your thirst!

Thank you so much for reading! Please comment which films Sinners reminded you of?! I have so many more picks! #sinners #sinnersmovie #vampires #community

Queen of the Ring (2025) | Review by Film Probe

How far would you go for a dream? In a time when pro wrestling for women was illegal all over the United States, a small-town single mother embraces the danger as she dominates America’s most masculine sport and becomes the first million-dollar female athlete in history.

“An inspiring, motivational and the power of determination. Queen of the Ring is an influential feature film that takes you on a journey of motherhood, female empowerment and the pursuit of greatness.”

Who is the Queen of your Ring? Thank you to Sumerian for granting Film Probe early access to this feature.

Watch Queen of the Ring Coming to Amazon, @primevideo Apple @appletv on May 9th, 2025. #WomenInWrestling #Empowerment #QueenoftheRing

The Beauty of Mundanity | by Film Probe

Mundanity, being ordinary, commonplace, and not interesting. Mundanity describes the state of being mundane the absence of anything noteworthy in the everyday.

Do you ever find yourself stuck in life’s cruel routine? Performing the same acts over and over until it simply becomes all you know? These films all explore the idea of life’s tedious toil, life’s mundanity and often boring escapade.

The films mentioned explore life’s cyclical routines. Feelings of angst, boredom, and despair appear in life when we feel trapped inside life’s repetitive toil. Some of these movies are hopeless, but most try to reconcile and find comfort, meaning, and fulfilment in the everyday, and show us ways we can embrace the mundane lives we live.

Thank you so much for reading, if you enjoyed this post please be sure to follow along for more film and tv content. I had a lot of film choices for this post so please let me know if you’d like to see a part 2 of mundane movies.

Sinners (2025) | Review by Film Probe

Set in 1932 the Mississippi Delta, twin brothers Stack and Smoke set out to bring a lively juke joint to the locals but they soon realise their music comes at a cost.

Michael B. Jordan absolutely kills in the double lead role, he is the core to this story. Are you a fan of revenge movies? Are you a fan of strong, foot tapping musical numbers? Are you a lover of captivating character developments and unforgettable action sequences? Well, I think I just found your next watch.

Feeling Blue | by FilmProbe

This post dives into the ocean that is colour theory in cinema, I wanted to give you a variety of stills from a number of features that all showcase the colour blue.

Blue within cinema means a number of things, most commonly blue is associated with sadness, unease, water, nature and cold. Although all of these are correct, blue can be used to represent a sea of emotions, feelings and settings on camera.

What’s your favourite film that showcase the colour blue? I think my personal favourite has to be the use of blue in The Shining or Moonlight. Thank you so much for reading, if you enjoyed this post and you’d like to see more colour theory posts please follow along! #bluecolour #colourtheory #feelingblue

An Insult to Life Itself | By Film Probe

An appreciation post for Studio Ghibli, recently a trend has taken the internet by storm; turning your images into the style of Studio Ghibli. I wanted to share a few of my favourite Studio Ghibli features, some of these will make you laugh and some of them will make you sob uncontrollably!

“never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all.” “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself” - Miyazaki

On the one hand, this trend has most likely been used innocently by audiences who simply enjoyed the style of the studio. In saying that, a lot of people in the film and television community have reacted negatively. Explaining the trend is offensive to animators and the studio. Personally, I hate the idea of technology competing with humans, I hate the prospect that technology could replace creatives.

What are your thoughts on this recent trend? Thank you so much for reading. If you enjoyed this post please be sure to follow along for more film & tv content! #studioghibliart #studioghibli #animation #filmprobe

OPUS (2025) | Review by Film Probe

A24 brings a new musical legend in the form of John Malkovich’s Moretti. The music is hypnotic, erotic and undeniably fascinating - maybe I’ll join the levelling?

If you like Severance, watch this | by Film Probe

“Who are you?”

Severance is filled with enigmatic moments, mysterious storylines and plenty of hidden meanings and metaphors. The show as a whole is distinctly unique and I believe there is nothing quite like it BUT in saying that, as we await the next season I wanted to suggest a handful of shows for you to check out.

These shows could never replace Severance but each share similar themes to the show, from advanced technologies, dystopian settings, government plots and dual personalities.

Sad Girl Cinema | Part II | By FilmProbe

Although the title ‘sad girl’ cinema sounds lighthearted do not be fooled, these female characters are incredibly strong and work through a number of hard hitting, deeply emotional moments in their respective features & shows. These characters are not just ‘growing up’ or changing - each of these characters are persevering through moments of addiction, abuse, neglect, isolation, loneliness and/or deep sadness.

Part I of this post didn’t include enough representation across cinema so I wanted to share a second edition that shares more of my favourite heartbreaking, emotionally impactful and deeply moving sad female stories. Thank you for all of your comments, I hope you enjoy the picks for this edition.

If you enjoyed this post please be sure to check out part one and follow along for more film & tv content. Also, join Probe HQ where I share exclusives and extras with members! #sadgirl #sadcinema #sadgirlcinema #filmprobe

The Beauty of Severance | by Film Probe

The unsettling world of Lumon, Apple’s Severance isn’t just a complex, intricate story but it is a remarkably beautiful and aesthetically gripping series to behold.

Severance production designer Jeremy Hindle and cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné create two distinct world within the series. The work life balance is made clear through breathtaking choices on lighting, colour palette, set design, framing and more.

Severance season two has just finished on @appletv so if you haven’t seen it yet make sure you do. This reel only includes clips from season one.
