FORD V FERRARI is a thrilling crowd-pleaser that works whether you know the outcome of the story or whether it's all new to you; I was the latter. Although the movie does feel a bit formulaic, its thrilling race scenes and incredible performances from a cast at the top of their game make it an exciting… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: Ford V Ferrari
I always enjoy interviewing actors who are clearly excited and proud of their film, and that was very obvious when I spoke to Ed Skrein and Luke Kleintank for MIDWAY. Their performances paid tribute to real heroes Dick Best and Clarence Dickinson who fought in the Pacific during WWII. The actors' dedication to portraying the… Continue reading Interview With MIDWAY Stars Ed Skrein & Luke Kleintank
If you're wondering if MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL is a good movie, you're honestly doing it wrong. All you need to know is Angelina Jolie and Michelle Pfeiffer are starring in a new Disney film together and exchange some of the best snarls, shade, and sneers that I have seen on screen in a long… Continue reading Movie Review: Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
I finally saw one of my most anticipated movies of the year, JUDY, and boy let me tell you... it was everything I wanted and more. I have been a diehard fan of Judy Garland since I was 5 years old and first saw THE WIZARD OF OZ. When I first got Netflix in 6th… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: Judy
As I sit here listening to the HUSTLERS soundtrack and writing this review, I am here to tell you that this movie is worth all the hype. It is entertaining, celebrates diversity and female friendships, has the best music of the year, and most importantly stars Jennifer Lopez in one of the best performances of… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: Hustlers
A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD is a crowd-pleasing movie if I have ever seen one. Directed by Marielle Heller, the film is anchored by fantastic performances from Matthew Rhys and Tom Hanks and plays as its own episode of MISTER ROGERS NEIGHBORHOOD for its now adult audience. The trailer for the film may lead… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
I AM WOMAN, directed by Unjoo Moon, is a timely, yet familiar biopic on music legend Helen Reddy and her contribution to the women's liberation movement. It's interesting (and disheartening) to see that many of the issues Helen and her compatriots were fighting for in the '70s and '80s are the same issues we are… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: I Am Woman
Two weeks ago, I couldn't believe that I was walking into a fancy hotel on my way to interview John Travolta for his new film THE FANATIC, written and directed by Fred Durst. I have been a fan of Travolta's since I was a kid. Unbeknownst to him, we have had many a duet... me as… Continue reading Interview: John Travolta for The Fanatic
I'm just going to get straight into it. Jon Favreau's adaptation of THE LION KING is Disney's best animated adaptation period. It has the best CGI I have seen on screen, highlighted one of the most iconic musical scores in cinema history, stuck very closely to the source material, featured a phenomenal vocal cast, and...… Continue reading Movie Review: The Lion King
Before your tears had time to dry from AVENGERS: ENDGAME, SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME is swinging into theaters. And off the bat, the film sets a tongue-in-cheek tone with a "touching" tribute to our fallen heroes, a surprisingly nice break from the depressing final scenes of ENDGAME. I, for one, got a little teary-eyed that… Continue reading Movie Review: Spider-Man: Far From Home
