Film Review: West Side Story
★★★★★ The original West Side Story is widely considered one of the best movie musicals of all time, garnering a whopping ten Oscar wins, and spreading the gospel of Tony and Maria far and wide. Earlier in the week, I watched the 1961 classic for the first time ever (having known the songs mainly through … Continue reading Film Review: West Side Story
Film Review: The Hating Game
★★★ Sometimes an adorable rom-com with certifiably gorgeous leads sizzling with chemistry is just the comfort food I need! The Hating Game is pretty much exactly what one would expect—it does what it promises on the tin. That old saying about how kids only act mean to you because they hate you has never been … Continue reading Film Review: The Hating Game
Film Review: Single All the Way
★★★ Single All the Way is living proof that gays deserve cheesy holiday fluff just like the straights! In a story that feels like it could be a gender-flipped vehicle for Julia Roberts circa the 90s, two longtime queer BFFs discover there may indeed be something more to their extensive relationship history. Fan-favorite character actor … Continue reading Film Review: Single All the Way
Film Review: Spencer
★★★★ (Written by Freelancer, Eden Feldman) From the film's opening scene, Spencer tells the audience exactly what they are going to get: “a fable from a true tragedy." No introductions need to be made here—this movie does not pander to its audience, but instead, brings us into the life of the struggling royal without ever … Continue reading Film Review: Spencer
Film Review: The French Dispatch
★★★★ By this point, the average viewer should know whether or not to bother with Wes Anderson’s comedy, The French Dispatch, based purely upon the pedigree of his other movies. Anderson’s signature style is always a major selling point (or, if you’re one of his detractors, a big red flag) that makes any of his … Continue reading Film Review: The French Dispatch

Can one be a good father if one is a bad man? That is the primary question posed by season three of Netflix’s electric romance/thriller series, You, and also posed by serial killer Joe himself. For anyone worried about whether the third season will live up to the hype of the previous two seasons, rest … Continue reading TV Review: You – Season 3
Film Review: Hard Luck Love Song
★★ Hard Luck Love Song is billed as a gritty music-tinged romance, but it is simply more of a straightforward drama that I had been expecting. I have to admit upfront, I have a strong disdain for country music. If country comes on while listening to the radio, I quickly change the station. That said, … Continue reading Film Review: Hard Luck Love Song
Film Review: Crazy About You
★★★ Crazy About You, more aptly titled The Naked Wanderer literally everywhere other than the United States, is an Aussie-flavored take on the romantic comedy. I will be the first to admit that I absolutely adore the rom-com subgenre, and will happily lap up the tiniest of table scraps in the pursuit of seeking out … Continue reading Film Review: Crazy About You
TIFF 2021: The Wheel
★★★ (Written by Allison Brown) Few films offer such an emotional impact as TIFF's un-love story, The Wheel, directed by Steve Pink. Although I have never been married, I can imagine the weight this work would carry for anyone struggling in a complicated marriage or going through a divorce. Amber Midthunder as Albee and Bethany … Continue reading TIFF 2021: The Wheel
