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! Banshees... Continue Reading →
Films from Around the World (2022 List)
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... Continue Reading →
Troll: When Disaster Movie meets Fairy Tale
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... Continue Reading →
Looking Ahead: 2023 is the Year of…
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... Kang... Continue Reading →
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
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... Continue Reading →
Lady Chatterley’s Lover (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. Emma Corrin stars as Lady Chatterley who starts up an affair... Continue Reading →
Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio
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. So this film is... Continue Reading →
Enola Holmes 2
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... Continue Reading →
Werewolf by Night: Marvel’s Best in Ages
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.... Continue Reading →
Rosaline, Romeo and Juliet
Rosaline is a perfectly nice very enjoyable film. It's not great. But it's not bad either. I actually put it in line with Hulu's The Princess from earlier this year- if you enjoyed that you might like this. It's Romeo and Juliet with a touch of The Taming of the Shrew (in my opinion) updated... Continue Reading →
