I’m going to be completely honest: I was real disappointed with this film. I’m a fan of Paul Thomas Anderson, as both a writer and a director, but Licorice Pizza was not it. Right from the start, I was uncomfortable. Our two main characters, Alana, played by Alana Haim, and Gary, played by Cooper Hoffman, have a ten year age difference.

In 2019, Chris Pratt … Continue reading Onward , Chris Pratt, and the Hillsong Church
Let me set the scene for you: I wake up at 8:30 AM in Los Angeles, California, getting ready to walk my dog. While getting dressed (because I can’t very well walk my dog around the neighborhood in my pajamas), I check the weather on my phone. It’s not even 9:00 in the morning and it’s nearly 80 degrees. SO, I quickly decide that, after … Continue reading Ingrid Goes West (2017) Review
