★★★★ I must admit that despite a stellar cast, I had pretty low expectations when sitting down to watch Maybe I Do. Perhaps it was the odd premise or the fact that it’s being dumped straight to VOD. However, my fears were unfounded, and Maybe I Do is actually an adorable, fun time at home. … Continue reading Film Review: Maybe I Do

★★★★ (Written by Allison Brown) Fans of Syfy’s The Magicians rejoice! Olivia Taylor Dudley is back in something equally mystical and devilish: Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls!

Film Review: You People
★★ For what it’s worth, I would consider Eddie Murphy to be one of the greatest living comedians of our time. Starring in countless gems throughout the 80s and 90s, the only major notable films from Murphy since the early 2010s, Dolemite Is My Name and Coming 2 America, earned relatively mixed reception. Now, Murphy’s … Continue reading Film Review: You People
Sundance 2023: The Amazing Maurice
★★★ As my first film from 2023’s Sundance Film Festival, I had no qualms about embracing a potential animated gem! Based on the book by Terry Pratchett, The Amazing Maurice deals with magical talking animals, and focuses on the mythological legend of the Pied Piper while taking a meta approach to the material. This may … Continue reading Sundance 2023: The Amazing Maurice
Film Review: Shotgun Wedding
★ Romantic comedies are perhaps the most comforting, easy-watching genre of movies out there. I admittedly have a soft spot for many rom-coms, even the ones that aren’t necessarily great. Growing up with classics like Legally Blonde, Heartbreakers, John Tucker Must Die, and The Devil Wears Prada, there is a certain quality these films carry … Continue reading Film Review: Shotgun Wedding

TV Review: Emily in Paris – Season 3
After a lengthy hiatus typical of the Netflix model, Emily in Paris is back for a vibrant, super fun third season! Honestly, I felt a bit of a sophomore slump with their previous effort. 2020’s debut season however was one of my favorite comfort-watching experiences. I am so thrilled to report that this time around, … Continue reading TV Review: Emily in Paris – Season 3
4K Blu-Ray Film Review: Coraline & Paranorman
Since 2009, LAIKA has been one of my favorite animation studios, and for good reason. The quality practically speaks for itself—nearly every entry in their impressive filmography has been nominated for prestigious awards, including Golden Globes and Academy Awards. Through the gorgeous use of stop motion animation, LAIKA has proved that the medium is not … Continue reading 4K Blu-Ray Film Review: Coraline & Paranorman
Film Review: Babylon
★★★★ Fans of stylistic excess and decadence need look no further than auteur filmmaker Damien Chazelle’s newest jazz-tinged coke-fueled rapturous ode and searing takedown of late-20s Hollywood, aptly titled Babylon. Imagine the parties of The Great Gatsby dialed up to an 11, and one will get close to picturing the wild energy of Chazelle’s longest … Continue reading Film Review: Babylon
