Movie Review – Flight Risk
—
Flight Risk directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg, starts off a bit shaky but really picks up steam as it goes along. Some people have called it a bad movie, but I had a great time watching it! Wahlberg gives a strong performance, but the real standout for me was Topher Grace. He…

Movie Review – One of Them Days
—
Oh boy, “One of Them Days” had me laughing so hard, I nearly bought a new diaphragm! Keke Palmer as Dreux? Absolute genius – the way she delivers those punchlines and her body language? Pure comedy gold. Seriously, it’s like she has a PhD in funny! Now, let’s talk about her bestie, SZA (Alyssa). Bless…

Movie Review – Wolf Man
—
Wolfman was a haunting experience that crawled under my skin and wrapped itself around my heart. Far deeper than mere monsters lurking in the shadows, it delves into the emotional abyss of a father’s tormented soul, desperately trying to shield his daughter from the horrors of their existence.

Movie Review – September 5
—
It is extremely rare that I watch a movie that seems virtually flawless, but this is one of them.

Movie Review – The Brutalist
—
“No matter what people tell you, it is about the destination – not the journey!” To be sure, the journey of the main character’s (Laszlo Toth) life is filled with struggle, pain, and simply trying to “hang on” through unspeakable trials, tribulations, and tragedies. This movie is a modern-day epic that tests the patience of…
