Until a short time ago, I didn’t watch horror movies. They were too scary, too gory, and – quite frankly – too much for me to handle…or so I thought. Then Jordan Peele’s Get Out blew my mind (in a good way), and I realized, “Hey – this is some
I’ll never forget what it felt like to discover the first season of The Umbrella Academy. I was stuck at home too sick to go into work, and just kept watching episode after episode on Netflix, completely entranced. The show was hilarious, wonderfully weird, and also deeply moving, and I
I’ve been pondering over Thor: Love and Thunder ever since I walked out of the theater on Saturday night, trying to decide what I wanted to say in my review. And honestly, I’ve been having a little trouble organizing my thoughts into a cohesive opinion. I feel like I’m in
I’ve found it funny that since the MCU shows started releasing on Disney+, some of my favorites have been the ones I was initially less excited about. My favorite MCU Disney+ series by far is WandaVision, even though I was somewhat hesitant about the concept. I don’t think I was
If you’re a fan of period dramas, you can probably guess – even before you walk into the theater – how the movie Mr. Malcolm’s List is going to end. The film stars Sope Dirisu as Jeremy Malcolm, one of the most eligible bachelors in Regency-era London. He’s looking for
Earlier this year, I challenged myself to get outside my entertainment comfort zone and watch different kinds of media than I normally consume. I watched and reviewed a short film, a documentary, and a movie that came out last year that I really wanted to see but just never got
If one of your favorite Star Wars characters is Obi-Wan Kenobi, I highly recommend picking up John Jackson Miller’s (now non-canon) novel Kenobi. Styled after classic Westerns, the novel depicts Obi-Wan coming to terms with his exile on Tatooine following Anakin’s fall to the dark side and the destruction of
When I watched the trailer for Disney/Pixar’s new animated film Lightyear, my first impression was that the movie looked fun but I didn’t experience a “jump-out-of-your-seat” level of hype. That turned out to pretty much summarize how I felt about the film after watching it this weekend. It’s a fun
Although Jurassic World: Dominion was one of my most anticipated summer movies, as I walked out of the theater I found myself feeling deflated. I had a lot of hopes for the movie, but it didn’t quite fulfill them. There were some bright spots, such as seeing the legacy cast
I love British period dramas almost as much as I love Star Wars – and believe me, that’s saying something. The period drama closest to my heart is Downton Abbey, and since the series wrapped in 2016 here in the U.S., I’ve been looking for other shows to fill that
Top Gun: Maverick was not on my list of most anticipated movies for 2022. Until recently, I wasn’t even sure if I’d see it in theaters (I hadn’t yet seen the original movie, either). However, I was intrigued by the aerial cinematography in the IMAX trailers I saw, and when
Although I love British period dramas in general and I have a long list of favorites, none has ever come close to topping Downton Abbey, at least for me. It has similar ingredients to most period dramas – fancy clothes, a historical setting, hints of drama and scandal – and
