Top Ten Movies of 2025

Superman -- One of the best Superman movies in recent years (although not as good as Man of Steel), with Superman interacting within a fully fleshed out DC Comics universe. And Nicholas Hoult is excellent here as Lex Luthor. Nothing BF or bondage to be seen. (Warner Brothers)

Sinners -- A vampire film with musical numbers? Or a straight on vampire musical? Either way you slice it, Sinners was a pleasant surprise from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler. Nothing BF or bondage to be seen. (Warner Brothers)

Thunderbolts* -- Easily the best superhero film of 2025, with well-drawn out characters and a gripping storyline. No BF stuff worth noting (just a BF guy in one scene), but the entire team get their hands tied behind their backs in one scene. (Disney)

Companion -- A fantastic horror/SF film where the twists keep on coming. The movie is great enough as is, but it also has a superb BF bondage scene with lead Sophie Thatcher. (Warner Brothers)

K-Pop Demon Hunters -- I never thought I would go for this one (I'm not a very big K-Pop fan, myself), but *DAMN* this flick is really very funny, and brilliantly animated! No BF or bondage here. (Netflix)

Dangerous Animals -- A great horror movie about a serial killer who uses sharks to kill his victims. Plenty of BF scenes, as well as BF bondage scenes. (Shudder)

Fantastic Four: First Steps -- After several cinematic versions of this classic comic, Marvel got it right with this film, with the F4 battling a faithfully realized Galactus. No bondage, but Sue Storm and the Silver Surfer have several BF scenes (with the female Silver Surfer going BF pretty much throughout the film). (Disney)

Warfare -- A grim--and extremely gripping--film that follows US Navy Seals on a combat operation in Iraq. It's a great film that's based on a real life account. No BF or bondage here. (A24)

Weapons -- Very scary horror film that has a group of children disappearing. Extremely intense and well done. The storyline pulls you in from the very beginning and never lets go. Nothing BF or bondage wise. (Warner Brothers)

Jurassic World: Rebirth -- The dinos are back, and ScarJo's got them. I really enjoyed this one. It's great having this series back, and I really hope they make more Jurassic films with Scarlett in the lead. No BF or bondage here. (Universal Pictures)

Best TV Shows of 2025

Wednesday Season 2 -- It's just great to have Jenna back. And Woe Thyself, the body switching episode, is my favorite of this season. No BF, but the very first episode has Wednesday tied to a chair and gagged. (Netflix)

The Pitt -- A far more realistic look at an ER, with each episode covering an hour per episode over the course of a shift. It works superbly. (HBOMAX)

Marvel Zombies -- A fun dark ride through an alternate Marvel universe that's been taken over by zombies. Watch all four half hour shows back to back and you've got yourself a two hour zombie movie with superheroes. (Disney+)

Andor -- This series was simply marvelous. The final episode takes us right up to the events of Rogue One. Andor is one of the greatest Star Wars projects since the original trilogy series. (Disney+)

The Bondsman -- A fun horror TV series with a bail bondsman being brought back from the dead to hunt demons. Depite good ratings, it's been canceled after only one season. But it was still enjoyable and is recommended. (Amazon)

American Primeval -- a superbly done one-shot series that shows the darker side of the American West in the 1800s. Betty Gilpin is fantastic in this. (Netflix)

The Eternaut -- Based on the original comic, this is a great series about an alien invasion in Buenos Aires. It deals with a group of people struggling to survive at first, and then later try to fight back. Superb. (Netflix)

Paradise -- What starts out as a gripping murder mystery expands into a vastly entertaining science fiction tale that remains enthralling from start to finish. (Hulu)

Only Murders In The Building -- While it's not a new show, it was new to me, since I binged-watched the first five seasons over the course of a couple of months. An enjoyable and cute murder mystery of the cozy kind. Some bondage with Selena Gomez here and there, but it's pretty slight. (Hulu)

The Diplomat -- Keri Russell returns as the US Ambassador to England in a wonderfully intense series that's also very funny at times. Some very nice BF scenes with Keri in season three. (Netflix)

Best TV of 2024

Fallout (Amazon) -- I've never played the game, but that's OK, because the TV series that's based on it is still a great deal of fun for those who are not familiar with the IP. A wonderfully imaginative series with a few good BF scenes with the lead actress, including a bondage BF scene.

3 Body Problem (Netflix) -- A different take on the alien invasion story that's riveting to watch. No bondage, but there's a barefoot scene in a beach house. Looking forward to the next season.

Bodkin (Netflix) -- An American podcaster travels to Ireland to try and solve an old murder case with the help of a Dublin-born journalist and researcher. Darkly funny, and gripping to the end.

The Penguin (HBO) -- Batman meets the Godfather in this thrilling series that shows Oz Cobb's rise to becoming the crime boss that we know as the Penguin. There's a nice barefoot scene with Cristin Milioti as she casually strolls through her family's mansion, surveying the damage that she has caused. Excellent series overall!

Agatha All Along (Disney+) -- Wait, what's this? A Disney+ series that doesn't suck? Awesome! A vastly entertaining, and extremely funny, series that focuses on Agatha and her friends as they take a journey on the Witch's Road. Plenty of barefoot scenes, here.

House of the Dragon season 2 (HBO) -- House of the Dragon is only proving itself to be just as good, if not better than, Game of Thrones. Season Two avoids the sophomore slump by only being even better than the first season.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (Netflix) -- Emma Myers, who was so good as Wednesday's roomate Enid in the Wednesday TV series, gets her own show where she stars as Pip Fitz-Amobi, a teen who investigates an old murder case. And she really shines in this captivating mystery.

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (Netflix) -- Hayley Atwell, who played Captain America's girlfriend in the MCU, now voices the Tomb Raider in this fast-paced, enthalling animated series. This was a lot of fun.

Jurassic World Chaos Theory (Netflix) -- The sequel series to Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous gets darker and more Hitchcockian as the now-young adults try to find out who are targeting them and why. Still plenty of dinosaurs aglore.

Arcane Season Two (Netflix) -- The first season of Arcane was marvelous, and the second is even better. The storytelling, and the incredible visuals are so good that I hate to say goodbye to these characters and the vibrant world they live in.

Best Movies of 2024

Dune: Part Two (Warner Brothers) -- the masterful followup to Part One is a bigger, sprawling epic that is extremely satisfying, especially for long time DUNE fans. We finally got a superb adaptation of the first book, folks. Part Two doesn't have the BF bondage of the first, but there are a few good BF scenes with Florence Pugh.

Deadpool and Wolverine (Marvel/Disney) -- After a dry spell, the MCU finally bats one out of the park with this gem. Comedy gold is mined with finally teaming these two together, but there's also a lot of cool guest stars who show up. No BF or bondage scenes.

Damsel (Netflix) -- Millie Bobbie Brown (Stranger Things) stars in this really great fantasy film where she's offered as a sacrifice to a dragon. No bondage, but she goes barefoot throughout her whole ordeal.

Alien Romulus (20th Studios) -- a fantastic and well-done revival of the Alien franchise that managed to effectively bring back the horror element. No bondage, but there's a great sequence near the end when lead actress Cailee Spaeny goes barefoot for a good long while.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (Warner Brothers) -- A follow-up to the original that's even funnier. Hysterically entertaining, morbid, and charming all at the same time. I loved this. It took about thirty six years to revisit these guys again, but it was well worth the wait.

Late Night With The Devil (IFC Films) -- an entertaining mockumentary that looks at the very last episode of a talk show that aired with an exorcism on Halloween night (yeah, it's one of those). The possessed young lady is tied to a chair with shoes on.

Abigail (Universal) -- a very scary (and also very funny) horror film about a gang of thieves who kidnap a young girl only to find out that she's a vampire. Nothing of interest for us--either BF, or bondage wise--but still well worth your time just for being a wild ride.

Godzilla Minus One (Toho) -- This was released in 2023, but I didn't see it until '24, so that's why it's on this list. And I'm very glad I finally got to see this, because it's superb. Impressively staged and well thought-out, this is easily the definitive modern version of the Big G. The lead actress goes barefoot in her home from time to time, but that's about it for us.

Furiosa (Warner Brothers) -- a furiously thrilling prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road that focuses on Furiosa, well-played here by Anya Taylor Joy. Imaginative and exciting, it also has some of the best BF and BF bondage scenes seen in recent films, all taking place in the first forty five minutes.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (20th Studios) -- Just when I thought this film series would start running out of steam, it proves me wrong. A fantastic and gripping flick that has a nice long BF section (with a sprinkle of bondage) with Freya Allan. Great movie overall!

Drive Away Dolls (Amazon) -- One of the Coen Brothers directs this fun movie that feels like a story taken directly from the pulps. Exciting, and very funny, this is an enjoyble crime drama/comedy. The girls are both tied to chairs and gagged at one point.

And the "So Bad It's Good" Award goes to:

Madame Web (Sony) -- Yes, it's not a great film by any means. But I still enjoyed this one immensely. Four extremely hot women (including Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney) are being chased around by a superpowered villain? Oh hell yeah! Despite its flaws, I thought it was still a lot of fun in a very silly way. No BF scenes or BF bondage with the women.

The Best Movies of 2023

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (Marvel/Disney) -- Just about the only decent Marvel film this year, where writer/director James Gunn gives an extremely satisfying and emotional conclusion to the Guardians crew.

The Creator (Disney) -- Gareth Edwards, who gave us the superb Rogue One, gives us a more serious science fiction film that's not completely perfect, but still visually stunning. Despite its flaws, I still liked it very much.

The Killer (Netflix) -- An outstanding film that's directed by David Fincher about a hitman looking for revenge on a group of people who tried to kill him.

Renfield (Universal Pictures) -- A very silly movie that's saved by the performances of Nic Cage and Nicolas Hoult, as Dracula and Renfield, respectively. And Cage's take on the Count, referencing Bela Lugosi, is just plain cool.

Cocaine Bear (Universal Pictures) -- Kerri Russell takes on a cocaine-fueled bear in the woods. This wound up being much better--and funnier--than I thought it would be. Plus, it's got Kerri Russell.

John Wick: Chapter 4 (Lionsgate) -- The ballet of guns and bullets continues, and film number Four may be the best one yet. The battle in the traffic circle scene is nerve-wrackingly brilliant.

Super Mario Brothers (Universal Pictures) -- I never played the game, nor was I even a fan, but I still really enjoyed this funny, charming little movie. The one character who made me laugh the hardest was the Debbie Downer starfish in the dungeon scene. Hysterical.

Spider-Man: Across The Spiderverse (Sony) -- a mind-blowing, imaginative journey across the multi-verse that does the multi-verse far better than the Marvel films did.

Evil Dead Rise (Warner Brothers) -- a surprisingly good horror reboot that came out of nowhere. Originally made to air only on the MAX app, wiser folks saw what a gem they had and released it to theaters. Includes muliple BF scenes and a BF bondage scene.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (Paramount) -- A wonderfully vibrant fantasy film with engaging characters and real suspense that's far more entertaining than I ever expected it to be. Includes tentacle-grabbing scenes.
