I watched The Accused many years ago, at a point in my life where I was too young to really know what was going on in the film. I knew it was a movie about…

In its synopsis, Ladyworld is described as a female version of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, which takes place at a birthday party. You can imagine how my curiosity was piqued after that description,…

I have said it before, and I will say it again, 1989 was the year great movies were made. Romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally is such an example; wonderfully scripted and with a cast…

Yes I am aware of the irony at play here, since I am refusing to give it a review, yet writing about the movie on the site gives it a platform. I am also aware…

Hi, it’s me again with another teen romance. Obviously I am suffering from some crisis after turning 30, and I accept whatever moral judgement you wish to throw at me. After, in a nutshell, is…

As our fearless leader Nick Kush noted, The Perfect Date seems like the perfect movie for me. For those of you who have been tagging along on my MovieBabble journey thus far, you would have…

Adaptations that emerge from Stephen King source material are either a hit or a miss. We had IT in 2017 that succeeded in making us fear clowns for the rest of our lives, and The Green…

It has been a few months since I turned 30, which of course made me think of this fantastic rom-com with the beautiful Jennifer Garner. The movie was released 15 years ago, yet she looks…

Let me set the scene for you: It is a Thursday night, the rain pours all around us, my colleague and I are trudging through the rain and gloom to head to the nearby cinema…

When I heard about Five Feet Apart, there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to watch it, regardless what the critics said about it. Firstly, it brings attention to cystic fibrosis…

My brothers and I have a tradition of watching any Marvel/DC movie that comes to theaters. Good or bad, we are there, in the center of the cinema, ready with our popcorn and our hot…

The 90’s were host to all these great teen movies, like Cruel Intentions, Can’t Hardly Wait and of course, 10 Things I Hate About You. The script is funny and the cast really pull it…
-
I grew up on Everybody Loves Raymond, which really cements my view of Ray Romano being one of the funniest men on television. He comes across as real and authentic, which heightens the credibility of…

With a distinct lack of romantic movies to drown myself in this Valentine’s Day, I decided Untogether would just have to do, even if the title sounds distinctly unromantic. I was not expecting much, given…
-
Every Valentine’s Day, me and the girlfriends watch a romantic movie together. Every other day, my brother and I would put on a romantic movie that only the two of us would watch. This means…
-
I love that When Harry Met Sally was released the year I was born; it feels almost serendipitous considering how much I adore this movie. I realize that by admitting this, I have revealed my…

The year of 2009 was apparently a Rom-Com year for me, because He’s Just Not That Into You is the second movie I remember watching in the cinema, with the first being Bride Wars. This…

I have a special fondness for movies that are book adaptations. The world extends beyond the book, embracing the visual medium of film, and suddenly, what existed as foggy, intangible images in your mind become…
-
When Cruel Intentions was released, I was 9 years old, so of course it wouldn’t even be a movie I would have known or watched. It found its way onto my radar after I watched…
-
I got engaged about a month ago, so when I saw that this movie was celebrating its 10 year anniversary, I thought rewatching it would be a fun thing to do. After all, I first…

As a book nerd and sometimes book snob, I frequently like to trot out the phrase, “The book does it better.” Of course it does. A book would have more space to properly set up…

A couple of years ago, as my brothers and I settled in for movie night, we realized we didn’t have an inkling of what to watch. “Let’s settle on genre first,” my brother said, “Comedy?…

Has a song ever reminded you of a movie? Of course it has, that’s its purpose. If the song fits well with the movie, when you hear it, a montage will play in your head…

There must have been something in the waters in 1998, because it was the year that birthed so many good movies. Movies like Saving Private Ryan, The Thin Red Line, American History X, and of…

My use of the word passion here does not always mean sex. I feel that the audience (well, at least me) never really want to see explicit love scenes. We are emotional beings who thrive…

Dumplin’ will probably be the last Netflix movie I review this year, and thank god it is, because it is an absolutely fantastic treat to end the year on. Be warned though, you might find…

Christmas is fast approaching, and as much as I am looking forward to the festivities, I know that when Christmas finally comes, it will be over way too soon. At this point, I find myself…

The nominations for the 2019 Golden Globes are out, and let me just say, there are some interesting choices. I was wondering whether I should pen this, since online lynch mobs are not my cup…

A Christmas Prince was a hot favorite from Netflix last year, not because it was a good movie, but mainly for the cheesy feel-good type of way it conducted itself. I was very much on…
