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 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,…
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…
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….
Covering the child molestation church scandal in Boston in 2001, Spotlight is a fantastic look into the reporting behind what happened along with excellent actors and impeccable storytelling. Remember the days when everyone received a paper newspaper? Newspapers were delivered to your doorstep early in the morning and people spent hours combing through the different…
A spectacular musical proshot, Come From Away is the amazing real-life story of what happened in a small town that accepted 38 airplanes full of people while the airspace was closed after 9/11. I absolutely love that we have proshots of musicals now. So many of us cannot get to the theater as often as…
A movie that seems to be rated highly, but I’m not sure why, Husbands is about three men who lose a friend and go on several unstructured misadventures. I watch a lot of movies based on recommendations from random lists, people, and Letterboxd reviews. They run the gamut as far as theme and decade, but…
Full of hidden depths and incredible visuals, First Reformed is not what you think it will be before pressing play. With excellent performances and intense themes, this one is a thinker. There are some movies that you get to the end of and you feel like you need to watch again. The first viewing brings…
