A light romcom that is combination The Bachelor and Hallmark movie, The Wrong Paris, about a girl hoping to go to art school who ends up on a reality dating show, is decent afternoon entertainment. The first time I was introduced to Miranda Cosgrove was in School Of Rock. That has since become a favorite…
A wonky film that feels like a combination of Men In Black and Everything Everywhere All At Once, John Dies At The End is an interdimensional dark comedy that has two college dropouts fighting to save the world. I have mentioned many times now that I’m not into horror films, but occasionally I’ll try a…
A fresh revamp of the 1980s story, The Roses is a black comedy about a married couple who love each other, hate each other, and try to destroy each other, sometimes on the same day. I remember watching The War Of The Roses in the movie theater when it first came out. Starring Kathleen Turner…
A documentary about Ocean Ramsey and her quest to understand sharks and raise awareness, Shark Whisperer is a beautiful film that also feels like it leans a little too heavily to one side. I have never seen the movie Jaws. It is a film staple that has always been full of people’s reported fear of…
A sweet little film about an inventor who creates a robot in a small town in Wales, Brian and Charles is a bit uneven, but very heartwarming. I don’t always jive with British humor. It can be really hit or miss for me. There are movies that I love like About A Boy and Kinky…
A subtle coming-of-age story about an off-beat girl and her mother, Janet Planet captures those developmental moments when we first see our parents as real people. I am a child of the 80s and very early 90s. I remember the world very clearly when there were no computers or cell phones. When time floated along…
A sweet movie about a housebound teen girl with a serious disease who develops a relationship with the boy who moves in next door, Everything, Everything is perfect for YA fiction fans. I read the book Everything, Everything a few years after it was released in 2015. I had heard that a movie had been…
A conceptually unique drama about a company who will help you end your life to move into a different plane of existence and interact with the living, Next Exit will have you thinking about life and what might come next long after the credits roll. Countless films have been made on the subject of death…
A film about one man’s quest to turn a laundromat into a success, My Beautiful Laundrette explores racial themes and sexuality with a deep undercurrent and a light exterior. I am on a quest to watch every single movie that Daniel Day-Lewis has been in. He has performed in less than 30 and I have…
A silly and zany comedy full of gags, The Naked Gun 2025 is a light and funny film that shows off Liam Neeson’s slapstick chops. I remember watching the first The Naked Gun movie when it came out in 1988 starring Leslie Neilson. I was in 7th grade and I went to see it on…
A film with a very funny first half and an uneven second half, Oh, Hi! is a cute romcom for a rainy day. As I always say, I love a good indie film. It’s a great way to meet actors that you’ve never met before or run into indie darlings that you haven’t seen in…
An intriguing film about a hitman with dementia, Knox Goes Away has a great cast and ends terrifically, even if some of the middle narrative gets blurry. I remember hearing about this movie when Michael Keaton did his tour of late night shows. It was the second film that he directed and he was specifically…
