An unbelievably sweet and funny rom-com, A Nice Indian Boy had me in happy and emotional tears half a dozen times. Such a great film! I love a movie that can display love in its own unique way. It doesn’t have to be a big production with over-the-top effects, it just has to do it…
A sweet coming-of-age story, The Way Way Back is about a single summer where a teenage boy embarks on a muddled journey of self discovery and learns that he can be more than he ever thought. Everyone loves a good blossoming story. The teenage years are tough no matter who you are and what your…
Love Hurts, a dark comedy that centers around Valentine’s Day, is so cringe that even the endearing presence of Ke Huy Quan can’t save it. I love Ke Huy Quan. He was one of my imaginary friends as Data in The Goonies when I was a kid and I have loved watching his comeback in…
A movie that slipped through my fingers as a child, Big Trouble In Little China is an 80s comedy with moments of great humor and lots of stereotyping played for fun. Some of it has not aged well, but it is fast-paced and entertaining. As a cinephile, there are a lot of movies in my…
A light and airy romance film in the first half, The Storied Life Of A.J. Fikry is a slow burner that finds emotional depth and nuance by the end. Films based on books can be a risk. If you have a great many people who love a book, they love the book. It is a…
Amazingly gorgeous to look at, The Life Of Chuck has a great cast and an interesting story to tell – it just lacks the connection you may be looking for. When you think of Stephen King books, there are two routes that you can go down – horror and story. While some people may love everything…
A black comedy about a couple on vacation before adopting a baby, I Don’t Understand You brings the laughs as well as the carnage. Black comedy movies can be hilarious. I am not a fan of straight-up horror with the creepy music and the jump scares, but a guy pulling the arm off of a…
A cute romantic comedy, Imagine Me & You is light and fun with likeable characters and a standard formula. So many romantic comedies follow the same formula. Girl meets boy, they fall for each other, there is an obstacle in their way, one of them says they can’t be together, and then they end up…
A tough film about addicts in New York, The Panic In Needle Park follows a young couple as they spend time together, develop codependency, try to make a name for themselves, and look for their next fix. Some movies are incredibly important, but unbelievably difficult to watch. The Panic In Needle Park is one of…
A gorgeous black-and-white film that follows a small town guy who looks up to his legendary brother, Rumble Fish has an incredible cast and a captivating filming style. Definitely worth a watch. Sometimes I’ll watch a movie and I will have no idea where it’s going or if what I’m watching is going to sink…
An elegant movie about the creator of the Wonder Woman comic, his wife, and their lover, Professor Marston & The Wonder Women is a fascinating look into a polyamorist relationship that existed far before its time. Comic book characters have long been part of society. They typically stand for power and take action for the…
Sometimes you get a movie that stars people you like and looks like something entertaining, but it never quite clicks. It’s fair to say that The Greatest Hits never quite lived up to its name. Every once in a while, there’s a movie that looks like it’s going to be fun. I don’t read much…
