There’s something instantly charming about a film that begins with its actors sitting in a cinema watching a movie. It pulls you right into its world, like you’ve slipped into the seat beside them. Nouvelle Vague does exactly that, and from the opening scene I knew I was in for something funny, clever, and unexpectedly engaging. A…

CLUELESS MEETS CHRISTMAS AND IT’S NOT A HIT
I might now officially be one of those people who watch Christmas romance movies in November not by choice, but because curiosity got the better of me. Unfortunately, A Merry Little Ex-Mas didn’t make the experience worth it. You’d think Alicia Silverstone, who nailed comedic timing back in Clueless, and early 2000s heartthrob Oliver Hudson, of Dawson’s Creek fame, would…
WHY “SAVING MR. BANKS” IS ONE OF DISNEY’S MOST EMOTIONAL AND UNDERRATED FILMS
Some films grab your attention from the first frame, and others quietly sneak into your heart Saving Mr. Banks does both. It’s one of those rare gems that feels comforting and heartbreaking all at once. Every time I watch it, I end up crying not because it’s tragic, but because it’s so beautifully human. It reminds…

NOBODY WANTS THIS SEASON 2: PROOF THAT NOT EVERY SHOW NEEDS A SEQUEL
When I heard Nobody Wants This was getting a second season, I wasn’t convinced it needed one and after watching, I’m still not. It feels like the show’s trying to recapture the spark of season one but forgot to bring the story with it. Nothing really happens this time around, and what does happen feels forced. Joanne…

Regretting You is Paramount’s new romance drama based on the 2019 novel by Colleen Hoover the same author behind It Ends with Us, which made a ton of money despite the whole Blake Lively controversy. Thankfully, there’s no drama (yet) with this production… but hey, there’s still time for the “Colleen Curse” to show up. The film…
JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME” – GOOD GUYS DO SOMETIMES WIN
Every once in a while, a documentary comes along that reminds us why we fell in love with the movies in the first place. John Candy: I Like Me is one of those films. It’s not just about a comedian it’s about a man who made millions laugh while quietly carrying the kind of heart and humility…
SIX HIDDEN MOVIE GEMS THAT DESERVE WAY MORE LOVE
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably noticed the same films appearing on every “Top 10” list ever. Don’t get me wrong I love The Shawshank Redemption as much as the next person but what about the movies that slipped through the cracks? As someone who watches a lot of films (maybe too many, if you ask my friends),…
“CHRISTY” REVIEW – SYDNEY SWEENEY DELIVERS A KNOCKOUT PERFORMANCE
“I want to win without him. In the ring it’s quiet it’s mine. There is chaos in the outside world, but it is quiet in here.” That’s one of the lines Sydney Sweeney delivers as Christy, and it perfectly captures the heart of Christy: the calm inside the storm. This is a powerful, gripping biopic that…
