When TV shows and movies are life…
I'm a sucker for romantic TV shows, which is why I was so excited to check out HBO's new series THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE. But despite its premise, romance is exactly what this series is missing. Created by Steven Moffat (SHERLOCK, DOCTOR WHO), the series focuses so much on the time travel element, it fails… Continue reading TV Review: The Time Traveler’s Wife
Off the bat, I have to say that MEN, written and directed by Alex Garland (EX MACHINA) is going to be a very divisive movie and the majority of audience members are going to find it is not for them, especially the film's final scene. With that said, I actually really, really enjoyed the film.… Continue reading Movie Review: Men
DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS is without a doubt going to be polarizing for Marvel fans. Part chaotic action film, part horror film, this has director Sam Raimi's name all over it, particularly in the creepy third act. But unfortunately, the scattered genres do not make for a completely entertaining whole, which prevents the… Continue reading Movie Review: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
THE NORTHMAN, written and directed by Robert Eggers, is totally worth the hype. Brutal, raw, intense, and surprising, this is the exact kind of movie that you should make an event out of and see in theaters. Despite the film's dark subject matter, if you looked at me during the screening I probably had a… Continue reading Movie Review: The Northman
It's hard to believe it's been three years since we last saw the incredible Suranne Jones don the top hat and curls of Anne Lister, aka "Gentleman Jack", in my favorite period drama on TV. Representative, daring, cerebral, and romantic, GENTLEMAN JACK remains one of the most original and refreshing series. It highlights the true… Continue reading TV Review: Gentleman Jack Season 2
THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE, the next edition in the FANTASTIC BEASTS series, is finally being released this weekend following another round of controversy during the film's production. The FANTASTIC BEASTS series is the most "cursed" film in Hollywood these days, with lead roles being recast due to cast member controversies, and now actor Ezra Miller facing… Continue reading Movie Review: Fantastic Beasts- The Secrets of Dumbledore
ALL THE OLD KNIVES is a sexy, slow-burn espionage thriller that feels very similar to the genre films made popular in the 1970s. Unfortunately, studios don't really make these "smaller" movies nowadays, so I am excited that a streamer like Amazon Prime has put its money behind this one. I especially love that Amazon chose… Continue reading Movie Review: All The Old Knives
I love a good British romance and although MOTHERING SUNDAY is a bit of a slow burn, it is a sexy, intriguing, and cerebral watch. Directed by Eva Husson and adapted for the screen by Alice Birch (NORMAL PEOPLE), it is clear that this film was shot through the female gaze, which is important because the… Continue reading Movie Review: Mothering Sunday
I am a KILLING EVE fan first and a tv/movie critic second. I've been captivated with this show since it first came out in 2018, which has manifested in numerous series rewatches and always having it at the top of my TV recommendation lists. I love that the series is at its essence a story… Continue reading The Best Villaneve Scenes in Killing Eve + Season 4 Review
THE CURSED, written and directed by Sean Ellis, is an inconsistent gothic horror film that fluctuates between having really cool ideas and scenes (think THE THING) to less exciting filler in between. I really liked the film's atmosphere and style, but its creepy premise is at times lost in overly long periods of exposition and… Continue reading Movie Review: The Cursed
