Film Streams: A Night of Talking Pictures

When I found out a fellow female film critic was coming to town, I knew I had to meet her. Ann Hornaday is an Iowa native that became a film critic, somewhat, on accident. She didn’t grow up loving and studying movies like I did but instead began with a passion for writing. Hornaday started […]

Now on Netflix: What I love, Want to Watch and Won’t Watch

Sometimes, I miss life before Netflix. It was so simple. My dad would take my sister and I to Blockbuster on Friday night, we would pick out 3 to 4 movies and watch them on repeat all weekend long. Now, there are hundreds of thousands of movies at anyone’s streaming disposal, which makes it terribly […]

Eighth Grade Review

If you thought you had stripped your consciousness of all the painful memories of middle school, prepare yourself to take a walk down memory lane while watching Eighth Grade. Comedian Bo Burnham makes his writing and directorial debut in the most unique way – by diving into the inner workings of a 13-year-old girls brain […]

Christopher Robin Review

Nothing can prepare your heart for the magical tale of love and friendship that dances across the screen during Christopher Robin. Winnie-the-Pooh and his iconic pals are back to help Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) remember his roots and rediscover the important things in life. Everything about this film is spectacular. From the sets, to the costumes, […]

3 Fun Facts About Mission: Impossible -Fallout

Right when you think the mission is 100% impossible, Ethan Hunt proves you wrong time and time again. As a die-hard Mission: Impossible fan I was so pumped for the latest installment to hit theaters with some familiar faces – Tom Cruise (duh), Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg – as well as some new faces […]

Sorry to Bother You Review

With little speculation about the true plot of the cynical satire of the year, I went into Sorry to Bother You with high hopes and an open-mind. I left (early) with crushed, confused dreams and a sour taste in my mouth. The trailer for this film made it seem like it would be similar to […]

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Review

“Love is at the root of everything – all learning, all relationships. Love or the lack of it.” – Mister Fred Rogers Love is at the root of Won’t You Be My Neighbor? and the only thing it’s lacking is a free box of tissues before you enter the theater. For years, families let Mister Rogers […]

Ant-Man and the Wasp Review

Ant-Man and the Wasp is the first Marvel movie after the shocking ending to Avengers: Infinity War – and it couldn’t have been a better choice. While Infinity War was intense and harrowing, Ant-Man and the Wasp is the complete opposite – filled to the brim with wit, charm and good ol’ fashion entertainment. Paul Rudd […]

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Review

Nothing can distract you from all the things that are going on in the world like some dinosaurs and Chris Pratt. The story of Jurassic World continues with more action and suspense than ever before. This heart-racing sequel to the revamp, that came out in 2015, has all the right elements for a compelling storyline […]

Incredibles 2 Review

You know that GIF from the Titanic where the old lady is like “It’s been 84 years…” THAT is how I felt about waiting for a sequel to my #1 favorite Disney-Pixar movie of all time, The Incredibles. Okay, I’m being a little dramatic because it was only 14 years but still! Now, I know the […]
