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…

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.

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 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…

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.

Anora
Reactions: Heart-racing, eyes-glued // Review: Little did I know when I decided to finally rent and watch Anora that at that very same time, it was cleaning up over at the Oscars. Anora is racy. There’s lots of skin, boy and girl a like. And there’s sex and drugs and you worse. But it’s the…

Wicked
Reactions: Captivating, Powerful, Moving // Review: I read the book in 2003. I saw the musical in 2005 and 2016. And last weekend I finally saw the movie. I know this is going to make me loathed across the lands, but I never loved the musical. It veered away from the book and/or left out…

Kneecap
Reactions: Fuck yes. Watch this movie! // Review: I had no idea what to expect when I started Kneecap. But it turned out to be, to my surprise and delight, a foreign language film. Most of the film is in Irish which was so freaking cool to me. The story revolves around a rap duo…

Emelia Pérez
Reactions: Dazzling, Bold, Groundbreaking // Review: I knew almost nothing about Emelia Pérez before watching it, except that it was a musical. I’m not always a huge fan of musicals, but I decided to give it a go. And I’m so glad I did. I have to start by saying how much I loved Zoe…

Back in Action
Reactions: Fun, Action-packed // Review: This won’t be one of my lengthier reviews. Not because I didn’t love this movie – I did! Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx lead this fun, family-friendly spy movie. It’s just under two hours of good-hearted fun. It’s about two former spies who left the secret agent life to raise…

It Ends with Us
Reactions: Triggering, Powerful, Gut-wrenching. // Review: I did NOT know what I was getting myself into when I pressed play on It Ends With Us. I honestly believed it was another cute romcom. And then the first “incident” happens. At first I thought, ok, it was an accident. Then the second one occurred and I…
