Movies to Watch About Isolation While in Isolation

Most films about isolation tend to be horror films. There’s something inherently unsettling about being by yourself, cut off from the outside world. Don’t let this scare you, though. Get comfy with your roommate, significant other, family members (keeping the proper distance) or pets (snuggle right up to them), and enjoy these films. The Thing (1982) A John Carpenter absolute classic. A beautiful study in sociology … Continue reading Movies to Watch About Isolation While in Isolation

Onward , Chris Pratt, and the Hillsong Church

I need to talk about something that has been on my mind, lately. As some of you know, I am a lover of Disney/Pixar films. Onward premiered on the 6th of this month and I do want to see it. Normally I would be excited to see the film. But, there’s something different with this film, and that difference is named Chris Pratt. In 2019, Chris Pratt … Continue reading Onward , Chris Pratt, and the Hillsong Church

The Invisible Man (2020): A Classic Movie Monster Preying on Modern Fears

Universal deciding to scrap their “Dark Universe” idea and stick to individual storytelling may be one of the smartest moves they have made in a long time. To kick this plan off with an updated version of one of their classic, but not necessarily big-named, movie monsters was clever.  The film overall was good. It was suspenseful and tense right from the first scene, and … Continue reading The Invisible Man (2020): A Classic Movie Monster Preying on Modern Fears

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

Most reviews that I have seen of this film has been from a male perspective, and that’s fine. But, I think that it’s important to look at it from a female perspective and realize the importance of films like this one.  Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is an overall solid film with an awesome title. I had some issues … Continue reading Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

Hobo with a Shotgun (2011): A Ridiculous B-Movie Masterpiece

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the New Year. I realize that the January is nearly over and I have not posted anything. But that is with good reason. I moved apartments! I moved into a bigger place that is closer to my work and has a washer and dryer IN-UNIT. I’m pretty psyched. Now, I’ve been trying to organize my writing space, and I’ve started … Continue reading Hobo with a Shotgun (2011): A Ridiculous B-Movie Masterpiece

Cats (2019) : Please Make It Stop

This film has haunted me for literally days. I cannot stop thinking about it. I wish that I could. As you all may know at this point, Cats has majorly tanked. I kept reading bad reviews which honestly just made me more interested in seeing the disaster. So, I braved the theater and I have seen things that no human being should ever see. Let … Continue reading Cats (2019) : Please Make It Stop

Not So Traditional Christmas Films

Not everybody likes Christmas. Some people do not have good memories attached to the holiday, much like Phoebe Cates’ character in Gremlins. So, maybe It’s A Wonderful Life is too mushy for you. Maybe you’ve seen The Santa Clause and Home Alone so many times, that if you so much as even hear a scene from either film, you will begin to scream. Personally, I do not understand these feelings, … Continue reading Not So Traditional Christmas Films

This review will be in two parts. The first part will address the film itself. The second part will address the fandom. So, here we go.  I am a person who enjoyed The Last Jedi.
