REVIEW: MIDSOMMAR (2019)
“Hi. Hello. There you are! Listen, you can't speak. You can't move. Alright? Good.” Horror films come and go as time goes on.

REVIEW: 1917 (2019)
“They're walking into a trap. Your orders are to deliver a message calling off tomorrow morning’s attack.

REVIEW: HONEY BOY (2019)
“I'm going to make a movie about you.” “Make me look good, Honey Boy.” Shia LeBeouf has had his hard times in the media.

REVIEW: BOMBSHELL (2019)
“People don't stop watching when there's a conflict. They stop watching when there isn't one.” It’s been a busy few years with the firings of several powerful men who have sexually assaulted women, or in Kevin Spacey’s case, young men. It’s only fitting that Hollywood would turn that into a cash cow, which leads to … Continue reading REVIEW: BOMBSHELL (2019)
REVIEW: LITTLE WOMEN (2019)
“Life’s too short to be angry at one’s sisters.” There’s a hunger out in the world right now. One that craves for women to be equal to men in more ways than one.
