Now on Netflix: Unicorn Store

One of the most authentic and pure movies has hit Netflix and it’s not one you will want to miss. Unicorn Store is a magical movie of self-discovery, with a whimsical and hilarious heart. Kit (Brie Larson, who is also making her directorial debut) has finally succumbed to the failure of her dream of being a […]

“Shazam!” Packs a Hilarious Punch

Me? Excited about a DC film? I know, I don’t know who I am either! When I saw they cast Zachary Levi as a superhero, I thought “Sign. me. up.” Billy Batson (Asher Angel) has had it pretty rough, bouncing from foster home from foster home, lying and stealing just to get by. He gets […]

“Us” is the Must-See Film of the Year

The talk about Academy Award winner Jordan Peele’s sophomore film has been deafening. After the wicked success of Get Out, could Peele make lightening strike twice in the same place? After wandering off alone at an amusement park as a young girl, Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o) is uneasy about returning as an adult due to a […]

“Captain Marvel” Deserves More

After the wild success of DC’s Wonder Woman, Marvel’s Captain Marvel had large, female-superhero-movie shoes to fill and an enormous amount of anticipation after Avengers: Infinity War to top it off. Being the die-hard Marvel fan I am, I had been waiting for this film since the moment it was announced. I purchased my tickets […]

A Movie Lover’s 2019 Academy Award Predictions

Now On Netflix: Sex Education, Russian Doll, The Ted Bundy Tapes

I would much rather unwind with a movie than a series. With a series, you are sucked in for hours, days or even weeks to a storyline that sometimes feels like it will never end. With a movie, you (usually) get your whole story in roughly 2 hours and you’re done. Signed, sealed, delivered – […]

“Alita: Battle Angel” Loses The Fight

When I get in a review-writing-slump, I find that it either takes a really good movie or a really bad movie to pull me out of it. Alita: Battle Angel was going to sway me one way or the other and, well… it worked. Taking place several centuries in the future, human(and cyborg)kind live in […]

“Green Book” Is A Story of Acceptance

Green Book is one of the most talked about and decorated films of the 2019 award show season thus far. Now a 5 time Academy Award nominee (including Best Picture), this film has already won 3 out of 5 Golden Globe nominations and 1 out of 2 Screen Actors Guild awards. With that kind of […]

Shyamalan Sequel: “Glass” is Half-Full

After the massive success of M. Night Shyamalan’s Split in 2016 – and the shocking, twist ending that revealed it was in fact a sequel to one of his previous films, Unbreakable (2000) – we were in for an explosive finale, bringing his super-characters face-to-face with one another. Mastermind vs. Vigilante vs. “The Beast”. Glass comes […]

“If Beale Street Could Talk,” You’d Have To Listen

“Neither love nor terror makes one blind: Indifference makes one blind.”― James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk It isn’t only the dawn of a New Year but the beginning of a new season – Award show season. Arguably the most wonderful time of the year, it brings a period of celebration, reflection and storytelling. I wanted to start the New […]
