Tenet (2020) Review
I want to preface this by explaining some important rules. Tenets, if you will. This is both a spoiler-free and spoiler-filled review. As signposted below, the first section will be a spoiler-free elucidation of my general thoughts and where it stands in Nolan’s filmography for me. Then, for those who have seen the film already, […]

The Kissing Booth 2 – Review
I’m assuming if you’re reading this you’re either a diehard supporter of this blog, in which case congratulations on your excellent taste or you’re planning to watch/have watched The Kissing Booth 2, in which case also congratulations on your excellent taste.

Palm Springs (2020): Review
As we reach a point in the pandemic where the industry is starting to consider what it would take to release films theatrically again, all eyes seem to be pointing towards the year’s big blockbusters to light the beacon and lead us back into those hallowed auditoriums with our ridiculously-portioned popcorn and drinks the size […]

How To Build A Girl (2020) Review
It’s simple. I see Beanie Feldstein, I watch. I pretty much knew nothing about this film besides that fact that Beanie was in it and that adorable poster of her in the top hat. That was more than enough to sell me and it was exactly what I signed up for. How To Build A […]

The Half Of It (2020) Review
Premise: When a well-meaning but inexpressive jock asks her to write a love letter to his crush, straight-A student Ellie Chu ends up discovering a lot about herself, love, and life itself. These nice Netflix originals in the YA genre have been hit and miss with me so far, at least out of the ones […]

Waves (2019): Review
Probably spoilers. Read at your own discretion. Waves lives in me now. Somewhere around the forty-minute mark, it crawled inside my veins and made a space for itself in my bloodstream. If you think I’m being hyperbolic, perhaps you’re right, but that’s what it felt like to me. In fact, there weren’t many things I […]

1917 (2019): Review
I love movies. Gosh, I love movies. Keanu Reeves Keanu Reeves may have proclaimed those words, but I have co-opted this as a placeholder for what I want to say about Sam Mendes’ latest release, 1917. Of course I have more to say, but wouldn’t that be an uncharacteristically succinct review from myself? No such […]

Cats (2019) Review
There are spoilers abound in this review, so just be warned if you know nothing about the show or the movie and want to go in fresh! It’s currently December 28th and I, like a lot of film bloggers and writers, am in the midst of compiling a dizzying list of the best movies of […]
