Argentina 1985
February 2, 2023
I only heard of Argentina 1985 due to its Best International Film nomination in this years Oscars. The whole reason I watched. And I’m very glad I did because it was excellent and well worth a watch.

The Banshees Of Inisherin
January 27, 2023
The Banshees of Inisherin is a great totally character driven film. It takes you on a ride with these characters and I was with it from beginning to end. On the other hand by the end of the movie I knew if I ever hear the word “fecking” again I may just lose it!
Films from Around the World (2022 List)
January 13, 2023
Much like reading I’ve made it a goal to watch more international films. In 2022 I did a darned good job considering in the past I’ve usually only watched one or two subtitled films a year. Last year I did 11. Well 11 1/2 but I didn’t finish one so I’m not counting it and … More Films from Around the World (2022 List)
Troll: When Disaster Movie meets Fairy Tale
January 8, 2023
I actually really enjoyed Troll- it’s every disaster movie trope crammed into one movie. Which also happens to be a dark fairy tale. I mean sure there are parts that I cringed a bit. Parts that I actually teared up but still a totally fun watch. Pretty much any time someone tells me there’s a … More Troll: When Disaster Movie meets Fairy Tale

Happy New Year Everyone! I thought it would be a fun time to look ahead to some of the movies and shows that are in store for this year 🙂 Something to put on the calendar and look forward to in the rest of the long days of winter. 2023 is the year of…
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
December 26, 2022
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a weird one for me. I liked the mystery better than the first movie (wild though it gets) but that being said… Character wise I think I preferred the first movie. And honestly I think this one is overhyped too. Like people are calling this an Oscar contender … More Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Lady Chatterley’s Lover (2022)
December 19, 2022
Well they certainly didn’t half-ass the sex scenes. I caught the new version of Lady Chatterley’s Lover on Netflix cause I’ve bypassed Christmas movies I guess and jumped right into period dramas. However definitely not a mistake as it’s the best version I’ve seen.
Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio
December 16, 2022
As someone who is not the biggest fan of Del Toro and does not like the Pinocchio story (probably the genesis for all killer doll stories) color me surprised by how much I enjoyed and appreciated this one! And boy does it blow the recent Disney adaptation out of the water.
Enola Holmes 2
November 8, 2022
Enola Holmes 2… so honestly I found it as charming and fun as the first. For the most part. But it had more Henry 🙂 so that’s always going to be a point in a projects favor. Unfortunately things related to Sherlock also happened to be the problems with it. So mixed bag on that … More Enola Holmes 2
Werewolf by Night: Marvel’s Best in Ages
October 31, 2022
I went into Werewolf by Night not knowing what to expect and honestly… one of my favorite MCU properties in years. Probably top 3 if I ever actually think about a list. Honestly it was a quick hour that made every second of story-telling count and I want more of Elsa, Jack and monster hunting. … More Werewolf by Night: Marvel’s Best in Ages
