Twinless
Reactions: Was not expecting THAT, in a good way // Review: I’ve been a big fan of Dylan O’Brien’s ever since his hilarious portrayal of Stiles in Teen Wolf. So I was excited to see him play a more serious role in Twinless. And I was not disappointed.

4th Man Out
Reactions: ADORABLE, Love love loved it! // Review: I watched this over the 4th of July weekend when I was in a cabin with only Hulu and Tubi. 4th Man Out follows its main character Adam who has been stressing over coming out to his three best friends and his family. No spoiler here, but…

Novocaine
Reactions: Not what I was expecting, in a good way! // Review: I had a very different movie in mind from having seen the trailer so many times. For some reason I thought he was a gangster or bad guy of some sort who used his inability to feel pain to do bad stuff. Boy…

KPop Demon Hunters
Reactions: Super fun! Now I get all the hype // Review: I’d heard all about this movie on Netflix that was taking the world by storm. #1 movie on Netflix. A song from the show that was topping the charts. I had no idea what to expect but I knew I had to watch it.…

Fantastic Four: First Steps
Reactions: LOVED. Marvel got its groove back // Review: First Steps in IMAX 3D and had an absolute blast. I’ll admit I was a little nervous that it might be overly hyped. But the hype was legit. This movie is action-packed and full of feel good comic book moments.
-
Superman
Reactions: LOVED IT. The Superman I grew up reading. // Review: Every trailer the studio released had me tingling with emotion and anticipation. To say that I was expecting a lot from Superman, is an understatement. But I’ll tell you this: It delivered. I loved it so much!
-
Boy Kills World
Reactions: Whoa that’s a lot of blood. // Review: I’m pretty sure I started this movie a while back and turned it off, because the first several minutes were eerily familiar. And I’m going to take a wild guess that I shut it off because of the gratuitous violence and blood shed. But, I’m glad…

The Half of It
Reactions: Loved it, everyone was adorable // Review: I really thought I was pressing “play” on a background teeny-bopper rom-com when I sat down one night to watch The Half of It. I was so pleasantly surprised and happy to be wrong.
-
Death of a Unicorn
Reactions: Well THAT wasn’t what I expected! // Review: This is a monster horror movie. That wasn’t exactly clear to me when I paid money to rent it.
-
Mountainhead
Reactions: Comedy but way too real to be funny // Review: If you ever wanted to watch some fanfic of what Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and a some of their billionaire pals might do on a Bro Weekend, then Moutainhead is for you. I had trouble watching it because, I think it’s supposed to be…

Andor S1 & S2
Reactions: Ups and downs, overall enjoyable // Review: Season 1 of Andor felt like 3 tv shows in one. Every few episodes an entirely different adventure unfolded. Like, suddenly Cassian Andor spends three episodes in a prison. Uh, why? Season 2 started off that way too. During the first two episodes Cassian is captured by…
-
Twisters
Reactions: Perfectly enjoyable… until the end // Review: I’d heard this movie was a bomb, which is why I put off watching it for so long. But, here’s the thing. I liked it. In fact, I liked it way more than I liked the original movie. (My apologies to any Helen Hunt fans who read…

Sinners
Reactions: So good! Not as scary as I was led to believe // Review: My friends kept consistently telling me two things about the movie Sinners. 1. It’s so good, and 2. It’s scary and made them jump! They felt compelled to tell me that last part because I’m a total fraidy cat. I don’t…
-
Thunderbolts*
Reactions: Finally, Marvel got it right again! // Review: When I walked into the theater to watch the special fan event early release showing of Thunderbolts*, I was not expecting much. Marvel hasn’t gotten much right lately. But cutting to the chase – Marvel got it’s groove back with this movie. And now I’m actually…
-
The Gorge
Reactions: Surprisingly good, fresh concept // Review: I really didn’t know what to expect when I started this movie one weekend night. And boy was I pleasantly surprised. The Gorge is a fresh sci-fi concept, and you know how I get really excited about fresh concepts! (I’m sooooo over the remakes and reboots and sequels…

The Substance
Reactions: Fucked up, Fuck no, What the fuck // Review: I. Did Not Know. That this movie. Was a. HORROR MOVIE. I. Do. Not. Do. Horror. Movies.

Mickey 17
Reactions: Super fun, Fresh sci-fi, Campy // Review: Mickey 17 is fun. It’s different and fresh. I love when I get to see something that doesn’t feel like it’s been done 100 times already (enough with the reboots already!). First of all, this was WAY more of a sci-fi movie than I expected from the…
-
A Quiet Place: Day One
Reactions: WHOA, Intense, Need a klonopin! // Review: Let me just say it real clear for the people in the back: I do not do well with scary movies. I once had nightmares for a week just from seeing the trailer of Human Centipede. I don’t watch scary movies. With all movies, I get engrossed.…
-
A Real Pain
Reactions: Moved, Loved it, I cried // Review: I loved this movie. Jesse Eisenberg wrote and directed it and hats off to him. It’s a short but powerful movie. Kieran Culkin absolutely deserved the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Wow. I liked him in Succession but I absolutely was blown away by his performance in…
-
Flow
Reactions: Cute, Liked didn’t love // Review: I liked Flow. It’s about cute animals bonding during a calamity. Cute. Sweet. But, it felt like it was trying to do something it almost did but didn’t quite execute perfectly. Something, something, rebirth, renew, life is a cycle, yada yada.
