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…

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.

FROM SCHOOL OF ROCK TO NOUVELLE VAGUE: WHY I CAN’T WAIT TO MEET RICHARD LINKLATER AT LFF
There are few filmmakers who’ve ever made me want to start a band, quit school, and maybe make a film about it afterwards. Richard Linklater is one of them. This Saturday, I’ll be on the London Film Festival red carpet to meet the man himself the director who gave us School of Rock, Before Sunrise, and Boyhood now returning with something completely different: his…
“ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER”: MY FIRST PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON EXPERIENCE (PLEASE DON’T COME FOR ME)”
I have never seen a Paul Thomas Anderson movie before, so this is my first one. Don’t come for me. That said, I can now understand why people love his films. One Battle After Another is bold, chaotic, and strangely magnetic a film that feels both messy and meaningful at the same time. It’s very manly in…
LOVE UNDER THE HOOD: A FRESH SPIN ON A CLASSIC CONNECTION — MAINTENANCE REQUIRED REVIEW
Maintenance Required is the modern-day You’ve Got Mail but with cars, torque, and a dash of feminist flair and honestly, it really works. The story follows Charlie (Madelaine Petsch), a strong and independent woman who runs an all-female auto shop in a tight-knit community. When a sleek, corporate garage opens across the street, her world is thrown…
OVERCOMPENSATING: A COLLEGE COMEDY THAT MISSES MORE THAN IT LANDS
I think I might be the only one who doesn’t like this new comedy series on Amazon Prime. I just couldn’t get into it. I like the premise of the show I really do but I just think it didn’t have much depth, and it almost felt like watching raw footage of someone’s first year…
The Thursday Murder Club: A Cozy, Star-Studded Mystery That Delivers
Chris Columbus has done an excellent job with this murder mystery film. He has a special place in my heart already, as he directed the first two Harry Potter movies, which defined a big part of my childhood. That nostalgic affection probably made me even more excited to see his take on Richard Osman’s beloved novel. This…
TAYLOR’S GLOW-UP IN THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY MADE ME LOVE HER EVEN MORE
The recent episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty just reminded me why Taylor is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters this season. Honestly, her whole arc has been such a glow-up. She’s still the bold, confident Taylor we’ve always known the one who’s quick with a joke, unafraid to speak her mind, and never short…
