“I’ll just record it in my little mind camera.” The people who mean so much to us flood our minds with overwhelming memories that can last a lifetime.

15TH ANNIVERSARY REVIEW: CLOVERFIELD (2008)
“It's 6:42 AM on Saturday, May 23rd. Approximately seven hours ago, some... thing attacked the city. I don't know what it is.

REVIEW: BONES AND ALL (2022)
“I don't trust you. It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong about that. It matters that I feel it.” Blood, blood, and more blood. But I’m sure you already knew that coming in. Luca Guadagnino’s rust-colored cannibal love-story is anything but easy one the senses. Set in the acid-wash jeans era of the 80s, … Continue reading REVIEW: BONES AND ALL (2022)
REVIEW: WOMEN TALKING (2022)
“Do nothing. Stay and fight. Leave.” Women…talking. The phrase isn’t the most capturing title as it evokes imagery of a movie suggesting just that—talking. But as Women Talking opens, we’re presented with anything but droll conversations, or boredom. The feeling is uneasy as you know something horrific has happened among the people in this seemingly … Continue reading REVIEW: WOMEN TALKING (2022)

REVIEW: THE WONDER (2022)
“That's a story, Kitty. I'm looking for facts.” This period piece doesn’t open with your usual sweeping shots over vast scenery.

We hear a woman’s voice tell us “the people you are about to meet, the characters, … Continue reading REVIEW: THE WONDER (2022)
REVIEW: SEE HOW THEY RUN (2022)
“It's a whodunit. You've seen one, you've seen 'em all!” In my opinion, nothing truly hits better than an Agatha Christie murder mystery. The endless twists and turns. The constant wave of finger pointing. The thrills as you read, or watch, her works are endless. And if you’ve been able to experience that, count yourself … Continue reading REVIEW: SEE HOW THEY RUN (2022)
REVIEW: DON’T WORRY DARLING (2022)

REVIEW: CAUSEWAY (2022)
“If it gets dark now, you just ride it.” I’ve always believed that there’s a story in each of us that needs to be told. We are all somewhat interesting in our own different ways—some more than others. So when I have the chance to see a movie that feels like a story about something … Continue reading REVIEW: CAUSEWAY (2022)
REVIEW: SELENA: MY MIND & ME (2022)
“Just be who you are, Selena.” All Disney princesses get their fairytale ending. But before those princesses can receive this glorious ending, they usually have to go through hell to get there.
