When TV shows and movies are life…
Watching BAD APPLES was the most fun I have had in a movie so far at the Toronto International Film Festival. This dark comedy is entertaining, hilarious, and you will never guess what’s coming next. Let's be real, Saoirse Ronan always delivers...but she is especially a riot in this one. I've seen other critics describe… Continue reading Movie Review: Bad Apples
Sometimes I hear a movie premise and think to myself, "Wow, that is such a fantastic idea. Why didn't I come up with that?" And that is exactly how I felt when I heard about A24's imaginative, fantasy rom-com, ETERNITY. The film reminds me of the world-building created in THE TRUMAN SHOW, mixed with the… Continue reading Movie Review: Eternity
The second I saw the premise of I SWEAR, I knew I had to prioritize seeing it at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this year. The film is based on the inspirational true story of Scottish social activist John Davidson, showing his life before and after he was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. Tourette Syndrome… Continue reading Movie Review: I Swear
CHRISTY has been my biggest cinematic surprise this year. I go into every movie optimistically hoping I will like it, but judging from the rapturous reaction from the crowd at the Toronto International Film Festival, this film was a hit. CHRISTY is an easy crowdpleaser that will make you cheer, cringe, and cry. I did… Continue reading Movie Review: Christy
Honestly, it's hard not to enjoy a movie like JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME. Part love letter, part character study, part career retrospective, this film does a phenomenal job exploring the beloved comedy icon. It utilizes interviews with the people that knew him best, from close childhood friends, to family members, to fellow actor-comedians like… Continue reading Movie Review- John Candy: I Like Me
THE ROSES, a remake of the 1989 WAR OF THE ROSES (which itself was based on the 1981 Warren Adler novel), is a twisted little black comedy with as much bark as there is bite. When the film works, it's hilarious... but when it doesn't, it's a bit of a slog. Thankfully, stellar lead performances… Continue reading Movie Review: The Roses
Well, it's been 22 years since FREAKY FRIDAY :gulp: and the powers that be have finally decided to grace us with a sequel, FREAKIER FRIDAY. While the story is certainly not the most original—frankly, it is just putting a slightly different spin on a story we already know well—it is adorable, funny and has moments… Continue reading Movie Review: Freakier Friday
I know expectations are high for a decent FANTASTIC FOUR movie, and I'm excited to report that after many tries, THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS is just that, a good first step. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film is a retro-futuristic adventure that at times feels more like a character-driven family drama than it does… Continue reading Movie Review- The Fantastic Four: First Steps
James Gunn's SUPERMAN is a welcomed breath of fresh air into the superhero genre, which has been stagnant for way too long. As opposed to Zack Snyder's darker interpretation of the character in MAN OF STEEL, this version of Superman is a lot lighter. Gunn leans into the character's earnestness, his kindness, and his quest… Continue reading Movie Review: Superman
As a fellow cat lover, I am happy to report that no cats are harmed in writer/director/actor Eva Victor's poignant new film SORRY, BABY. I want that to be the first item featured in this article because during my interview with Eva, we joked about the fact that people may be concerned about the cat… Continue reading Interview: Eva Victor for Sorry, Baby
