Love

You know something is a phenomenon when it makes Gaspar Noe‘s Love — an explicitly unsexy movie — also popular. Usually, I would say something like “for better or worse, 365 Days has taken everyone…

Do you like cute things? I like cute things. I think cute things are just the cutest. Today, we are going to be focusing on some of the cutest movies ever. Before we start, let’s…

Dating at a young age is like trying to maneuver through a minefield, especially in relationships that go horribly wrong. You still have no idea who you are, and you can almost forget knowing how…

Every so often, a romance film comes around and wrecks just about everyone who sees it — Portrait of a Lady on Fire is that film. After a small, awards-qualifying release late in 2019, the…

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…

We often turn to film to capture those feelings that we have trouble articulating ourselves, to express something personal to us without going through the highs and lows of it in our own lives. However,…

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…

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…

Academy Award winner Guillermo del Toro has a special eye for horror/fairytale films, along with implementing drama involving love. For instance, both of his Hellboy films were love stories with comic book-isms attached. Guillermo does…

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…

When it comes to classic fairy tale romance, Disney is king. But they’ve shown there’s more to love than princesses falling for princes. Some of their greatest love stories come from forgotten places, so we’re…

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…

On the surface, rebooting a classic and beloved film seems simple. The narrative, characters and fan base are already there, it is just a matter of updating the individual pieces that are outdated. But there…

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…

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…

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…

Sliding Doors, though released 20 years ago, is probably a movie that looks familiar to you. It wouldn’t have been a movie you went to see in the cinema, or decided to watch with any…

Before you correct me, I know that the premise of the movie involves the two main characters writing emails to each other, not letters. But I stand by my title. While the exquisite wait for…

Can you believe Christmas is in a month’s time? I hope it’s starting to get charming and picturesque where you are, because all we have here in Singapore is Monsoon weather. And when Christmas is…

When I saw The Remains of the Day on the list of Movie Anniversaries to pen for MovieBabble, I felt it to be a personal duty of mine to choose it and write about it.…

The Holiday Calendar is part of Netflix’s Christmas offering for the year, starring the lovely Kat Graham from The Vampire Diaries. This movie proves, undoubtedly, that there is a formula to making such Christmas movies.…

I went through a bit of a witch phase (or maybe craze is a more apt word) when I was younger. This is due in part to the shows on television at the time, like…

Our best friend is a friend for a reason isn’t it; we just don’t see them in a romantic way. However, here are some movies that might have us rethinking how we look at our…

I am a week late to the conversation, seeing as how most of the reviews and articles about a movie show up a day or two after its release. I watched Crazy Rich Asians a few…

2018 has made me very happy, due in part to the number of book adaptations there have been this year. We have science fiction with Annihilation, fantasy with Ready Player One, and love stories like…

I am the kind of person who actually enjoys the movie trailers that come before a movie. I like going in early to watch the previews of coming attractions because sometimes, I make surprising finds,…

A Wrinkle in Time was a favorite book of my childhood. I looked forward to the film eagerly because I wanted to see a gifted director do justice to the material. Many of the changes…

Love, Simon has officially released and has captured the hearts of many. With its charming performances and well-written story, the movie is a serious breath of fresh air. The movie is incredibly smart, handling its…

There’s some films that do their best to make you bawl like a hormonal teenager that was stood up on prom night.  These films push the metaphorical envelope to the nth degree, fishing for tears…
