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 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…
Based on a true story of a journalist and a taxi driver who sneak into Gwangju, South Korea during the 1980 student uprising, this film is both gutting and heart-warming. A must-see. A Taxi Driver is one of those films that has been in the ether for a few years. I’d heard of it, I’d…
A brilliantly hilarious film about the impending blotting of existence, Dogma is a classic that never gets old. With the 13th apostle, two unlikely prophets, a small role by Alanis Morissette, and two angels just trying to escape their banishment in Wisconsin, this has always been a favorite. Dogma is one of those films that…
Okay, this is a love story. With outstanding cinematography and an incredible cast, Pride & Prejudice is a remarkable film that shocked me as much as it will shock you. A few years ago, when I decided that I wanted to watch Pride & Prejudice, I did a little research online. The overwhelming consensus at…
Dinner In America is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is wild and offensive and the best punk rock love story you’ll ever find. Sheer perfection. I watched Dinner In America a few years ago and I fell in love with it instantly. It took me about 20 minutes to get a…
If you think you have a good sense of smell, you have never met Jean-Baptiste Grenouille – a man on a mission to create the perfect scent in Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer. I have always had a fascination with true crime, and more specifically, serial killers. I am taken with the psychology behind…
How do you talk about a movie that leaves you speechless? Remember is one of those films that stands out from the crowd and I’m shocked that I’d never heard of it before. Some movies are just incredibly special. They seem small in the moment, but they carry the weight of history on their backs….
Grave of the Fireflies grabs your attention from the very first sentence. There aren’t a lot of movies that can do that, but that isn’t the only way that this one is special. Studio Ghibli films have been around for about 40 years. A Japanese animation studio, you may have heard of some of the…
When you see a film that is so charming and subtle that it burrows inside of you, you start bursting to tell everyone about it. So let’s talk about The Ballad Of Wallis Island. I will admit, indie films are kind of my bread-and-butter. I love all types of film genres, but it’s always those…
Some movies are just special. It’s not about the cinematography or the landscapes or the sets, it’s about the magic. And Bob Trevino Likes It has that in spades. I tend to be drawn to smaller movies. These are often indie films that focus on human connection rather than explosions or space. I like being…
It says a lot about a life when you come home to find someone living in your house and ultimately, your world becomes a little brighter. The Visitor is an incredible film in that way. We all know more about our own lives than anyone else does. We know when things look good from the…
