THE HIGH NOTE is just the kind of escapist movie you want to be watching in quarantine. It's entertaining, has great performances and songs, and is an all-around positive and fun film. Despite a late reveal in the last 30 minutes that ends the film on a shaky note, I am glad Focus decided to release… Continue reading Movie Review: The High Note
During this period of ample binge-watching, I have decided that along with reviews of new films, I am going to also review some hidden gem movies I find on the various streaming services that you may have scrolled past. First up is ANGEL OF MINE, streaming on Hulu. I came across this film because it stars one… Continue reading Movie Review: Angel of Mine
How's everyone holding up in the quarantine? I, for one, have been spending a lot of time watching movies and television shows that I love and discovering new ones to keep me entertained and help feel less bummed about these terrifying times. I find it a lot better for my mental health to limit the… Continue reading Quarantine Movie & TV Recommendations: The Hulu Edition

It's both surprising and disappointing that THE HUNT received so much flack last year, which ultimately resulted in it being "canceled." And this was before anyone had actually seen it. Thankfully for us, Universal saw it had a hit on its hands and put the film back on the release calendar, leaving us with an entertaining,… Continue reading Movie Review: The Hunt
THE INVISIBLE MAN, written and directed by Leigh Whannell, is a phenomenal psychological thriller for the Me Too era. From Elisabeth Moss' sensational performance, to the suspenseful sound design and scares, this film is worth all the hype and will certainly be a horror classic in the years to come. And most importantly... it's f-ing… Continue reading Movie Review: The Invisible Man
Adapted from the Swedish film FORCE MAJEURE, DOWNHILL is a master class in acting, with a script so intimate and smart I could also see it being a hit on Broadway. Billie (Louis-Dreyfus), Pete (Ferrell), and their two kids are on a week-long ski vacation in the Austrian Alps. When a controlled avalanche comes a… Continue reading Movie Review: Downhill
BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) is just as amazing and outrageous as its title. Yes, the film is a female empowerment paragon both in front of and behind the camera. It celebrates diversity, stars five kickass women, is written, directed, and produced by women, and features an all-female soundtrack.… Continue reading Movie Review: Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)
I wanted to like THE RHYTHM SECTION; I really did. Female director: Check. Spy thriller: Check. Blake Lively and a great supporting cast of Jude Law and Sterling K. Brown: Check. But unfortunately a poor, unnecessarily complicated script and illogical character development made this film a stinker. I should have known better with a January release… Continue reading Movie Review: The Rhythm Section
Well, it's finally over. After 42 years, the Skywalker saga has (allegedly) ended with THE RISE OF SKYWALKER and I am sad, yet totally here for it. You don't need me to tell you how culturally significant the STAR WARS franchise has been. I have been a diehard fangirl since I first saw Princess Leia's… Continue reading Movie Review: Star Wars- Rise of Skywalker
