Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man trailer
I like what I see here. Teen Spider-Man in action. I like the animation. I like the quips. This is a promising trailer. January 29 is just a month away. Disney +
2025 Genre-ary: Documentaries
2025 kicks off with our third annual Genre-ary. We started with Sci-Fi movies. Then we did Musicals. This year, we will be doing Documentaries.
Again, this will be documentaries that are movies or shorts. There will be no doc series such as the Jinx. Of course, it is a DailyView which means I will be watching a movie every day in the month of January that I have never seen before.
I have compiled a list of documentaries from over the years that I have not seen before. Some will be well known ones, some will be ones we have never heard of before. I will be including some 2024 films instead of waiting for the June Swoon.
I will keep the tally of the Genre-ary on this page.

Superman Teaser Trailer
I may not be a huge Superman fan, but this trailer is epic.
I don’t hate Superman. I have never hated the character, but he has just never been my guy. I’m a Spider-Man fan. But this trailer is truly a fantastic couple of minutes.
I feel that this trailer has shown that the creators have learned from some of the other Superman live action mistakes that have been made.
I believe in James Gunn and I think this builds an even more positive mindset. This is a great trailer.
And the MUSIC! Goosebump inducing. Amazing.
