Leave it to Claire Denis to create the best representation of the pandemic onscreen yet. There are no Karens yelling over masks, no contagion spreading like wildfire. Instead, masks are a visual motif for the…

I’ll admit that I’m not the foremost scholar when it comes to racism. I’m a white girl from the Intermountain West who grew up in a predominantly white world. But, I think it’s important to…

Picture yourself in the midst of a sunflower field on a hot summer’s day, surrounded by friends, with a glass of wine. That’s what it feels like to explore Éric Rohmer’s filmography. It’s a breath…

If you, reader, are anything like me, you are hip to any and all entries into the sapphic film canon. From Desert Hearts to Booksmart, every time there are two ladies kissing, my corner of Twitter…

When it comes to musicals (and comedies, for that matter) things are very simple for me. Either I hate them with a passion, or I really like them. Indeed, there are some great classics (even…

It’s been 10 years since the release of Catfish. Since then, we’ve watched as society’s view of internet dating has flipped. At one time, finding a partner online was essentially considered a final resort for…

World War II was as far-reaching as its name would suggest. Not only did soldiers and civilians die, but their friends, families, and even hometown acquaintances were all affected by this devastating war. Summerland highlights…

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.…
