A movie that lives close to my heart, A Walk To Remember is a sweet coming-of-age love story where a rebellious teen falls for a quiet young woman with a secret. There are some movies that I can watch over and over. They run the gamut as far as decade (Little Miss Sunshine, The Princess…
A psychological thriller that highlights two fantastic leads, Red Eye is a short, claustrophobic, and intense ride with a bit of a cliché ending. I have heard a lot of people say that Red Eye is an underrated thriller. It didn’t really catch my eye when it first released, but the more I heard the…
A silly and raunchy comedy, Hot Tub Time Machine is reminiscent of 80s films in all of the expected ways. Not great cinema, but not terrible either. I have thought a lot about parenting in the 80s. There are movies that we all watched as kids that no one realized we shouldn’t have been watching….
A slow burn of a movie, Nowhere Special is about a terminally ill single father trying to find the perfect family for his young son to live with before he goes. A great film that will bring the waterworks. A lot of people miss things about children. They think they know what children are thinking,…
With a great cast and a few hilarious cameos, They Came Together is a romantic comedy that is a spoof on all romantic comedies. Think everything from the outfit montage to the staple meet-up on New Year’s Eve. There is a structure to most romantic comedies. Girl meets guy in some sort of meet-cute, they…
A great new film with one banger song after the next, KPop Demon Hunters is the animated movie that you never knew you needed in your life. It is so much fun, believe me, you need it. It is remarkable what studios can do with animation these days. I remember waking up on Saturday mornings…
A romantic drama about the daily lives of several vampires living today, Only Lovers Left Alive has an excellent cast and a dreamlike quality. Very enjoyable. When I was younger, I was terrified of vampires. I am an extremely visual person, so seeing just the wrong clip of a visual will have me looking at…
A film that is a great definition of “fine,” Riff Raff has an excellent cast that is underutilized and a story that is unsure where it’s going. Occasionally you find a movie that has such an excellent cast on the poster that you have to watch it. There is no reason that it shouldn’t be…
A wonderful and heart-wrenching film, The Color Purple is a movie that is up there with the greats. A story of self-discovery and love, this is a must-watch. I have always known of The Color Purple, but I never watched the movie or read the book. I just never got around to it. I recently…
A popcorn action flick, Heads of State is full of silliness and color. With a few laugh out loud moments, it’s a good one to watch if you need something light. When the world is in the midst of serious craziness, it can be good to have films to escape to. I’m not sure that…
Based on the true story, the film Patty Hearst covers her kidnapping and indoctrination into a militant army that ultimately has her committing crimes. An interesting story with talented leads and fascinating visuals. The kidnapping of Patty Hearst is one of those stories that was just a bit before my time. I had heard of…
A lovely film about a girl who lost her mother during a racially oppressive climate, The Secret Life Of Bees is a wonderful display of how love can come from all of the mothers around you, even in the most trying times. Movies based on books usually have me wanting to read the book first….
