Black Adam
Well the Rock was a superhero and it’s just as you would have expected. Action-packed, a little cheesy, and has a subpar plot. So a made-up Middle Eastern country has been taken over by terrorists and a 500-year-old demigod is summoned to help. This movie is all over the place, like Pierce Brosnan being a … Continue reading Black Adam
Banshees of Inisherin
Don’t you hate when someone doesn’t want to be your friend anymore. On the remote island off the shores of Ireland in the 1920s, two best friends are at odds but only one knows why. Collin Farrell plays the dumped friend and it’s entertaining to watch him try and win his friend (Mad-Eye Moody from … Continue reading Banshees of Inisherin
Violent Night
Remember when you first watched Home Alone and all of the pranks happened to Harry and Marv and you tell yourself "no one would survive that." Well, rational thinker, you'll be happy to know that Violent Night is nothing but realistic.

The Fabelmans
For years I’ve been waiting for Steven Spielberg to write an autobiography. I should have known that it would be in movie form! The Fabelmans was co-written and directed by Spielberg and is based on his childhood. It follows the fictitious Fabelman family from the 1950s to the late 60s, specifically from young Sammy’s perspective. … Continue reading The Fabelmans

Glass Onion
Back at it again, Daniel Craig has hung up his Bond suits for a southern drawl as he reprises his role as Detective Benoit Blanc. This time he's invited to a remote island to investigate the murder of Edward Norton, who hasn't died yet? This was Grade A comedy and just as creative and wacky … Continue reading Glass Onion
Spirited
Trying to save someone can be difficult, especially if they catch on. Spirited is a musical Christmas Carol where Ryan Reynolds is the one that’s trying to be saved by the ghost of Christmas present (Will Farrell) and things don’t go according to plan. This was a really creative and fresh take on a Christmas … Continue reading Spirited
Wednesday
Number of episodes: 8 Creepy, kooky and altogether spooky Wednesday is a thriving success in my book. Wasn’t completely onboard with this cause who could ever replace the OG Christina Ricci but Jenny Ortega is great. Wednesday Addams is taken to the same boarding school her parents went to where she’s hunted, haunted and caught … Continue reading Wednesday
Bandit
It’s been too long since we’ve had a movie that you root for the criminal. Recommended by a family member, Bandit, the movie that flew under my radar but is actually really great. Josh Duhamel plays Gilbert Galvan Jr “The Flying Bandit,” a guy who has perfected how to rob a bank. Granted this movie … Continue reading Bandit
Disenchanted
If the reboots and sequels from the past few years have annoyed you then just skip this one. Still with me? Essentially this is Enchanted 2, Amy Adams and the rest of the original cast is back showing you what can happen after the “happily ever after.” In her case that’s raising a teenager and … Continue reading Disenchanted
