When TV shows and movies are life…
NO HARD FEELINGS is my first movie surprise of the year. Admittedly, I am a Jennifer Lawrence fan, so I went into the movie mostly to support her because the trailer left little to be desired. As with most "R-rated" comedies, I was expecting the worst and hoping for the best... and I am so… Continue reading Movie Review: No Hard Feelings
The first three things I associate with an Indiana Jones movie are the best stunt work in Hollywood, kick-ass opening sequences, and of course the whip/fedora combo. I am happy to report that all of these key elements are showcased in DIAL OF DESTINY, which brings Indy's adventures back into my good graces. Because let's… Continue reading Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
The new romantic comedy PLATONIC, starring Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen, asks the age old question... can men and women really just be friends or is there always going to be romantic undertones. And while I won't spoil whether the series makes a definitive statement on the matter, I can say that it is one… Continue reading TV Review: Platonic
SAINT X is the latest in streaming thrillers based off of a bestselling novel. However, the series struggles to make the central mystery as captivating as such predecessors as BIG LITTLE LIES and THE UNDOING. Episodes feel too drawn out... so much so I found myself zoning in and out of the (at times) confusing… Continue reading TV Review: SAINT X
Netflix is hitting it out of the park this year, releasing two of my favorite series with BEEF and now THE DIPLOMAT. A political drama, with comedy and thriller elements weaved, THE DIPLOMAT is one of the best foreign policy-focused series since HOMELAND and THE AMERICANS. Created by Deborah Cahn, who also wrote and produced… Continue reading TV Review: The Diplomat
With a title like MAFIA MAMMA, I would hope you are going into this movie expecting a goofy comedy... and not anticipating the next GOODFELLAS. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the film stars one of my favorite actresses, the always amazing Toni Collette, and Monica Bellucci in a departure from her traditional serious roles. I love… Continue reading Movie Review: Mafia Mamma
I have been obsessed with the A24/Netflix series BEEF since I first saw it in January. A group chat with two of my best friends has pretty much revolved around us discussing the series for the last several months, excited for others to see it. Going into the series knowing nothing, I was shocked when… Continue reading TV Review: Beef
DAISY JONES & THE SIX is one of the most entertaining series I have seen in awhile, and a big part of that is the AMAZING soundtrack, featuring so many of the best songs of the 1960s and 70s, as well as original songs that you will certainly have on repeat. I love that each… Continue reading The Music of Daisy Jones & the Six: All of the Awesome Songs in the Series
DAISY JONES & THE SIX, based on the novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, is going to be the TV show everyone is talking about for the next few weeks and rightfully so. It is entertaining, exciting, and most of all, the music (both original and from the era) makes for one of my favorite soundtracks… Continue reading TV Review: Daisy Jones & The Six
To say COCAINE BEAR makes for a fun time at the movies would be a severe understatement. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, this raucous film is a movie you need to see in theaters, with the biggest crowd possible, to bask in the entertaining cringes, "oh nos", and gasps of fellow audience members. Usually I hate… Continue reading Movie Review: Cocaine Bear
