Staying at home and sheltering in place to help flatten the curve of COVID-19 … Continue reading April movie preview: COVID-19 edition

The stories may all be basically the same, … Continue reading Five cheesy and heartfelt rom coms for Valentine’s Day

This is also the first year where I’ve seen every movie nominated for Best Picture, so I … Continue reading Predicting the 2020 Oscars

One strong Oscar contender gets a wide release at the beginning of the month, but most of the other offerings aren’t expected to break any records.
