Mickey 17
Mickey 17 was on the must watch list for last year but time got away from me. We are once again playing catch up before awards season, I promise I will start doing these in a timely manner this year! This was a film we knew we wanted to see. Robert Pattinson is actually an incredible actor who sometimes still gets caught up in Twilight discourse in an attempt to discredit his skills. That combined with it being a Bong Joon Ho movie made it highly anticipated.

Takeover 2026 Movie Review
In an era defined by algorithms, automation, and constant digital surveillance, cinema has increasingly turned its attention to stories about control. Takeover (2026) enters this landscape as a tense, futuristic thriller that feels less like speculative fiction and more like a warning disguised as entertainment. Rather than imagining a distant dystopia, the film presents a world that looks uncomfortably close to our own—one where power no longer arrives with force, but quietly assumes authority through systems we depend on every day.

Silver Screen Magic with Greta Garbo
Greta Garbo came into this world in 1905. She was born in Sweden and got her start in acting during the silent era, in Swedish films. Seeing her MGM chief Louis B. Mayer requested the actress to come to Hollywood. Garbo arrived and became a romantic leading lady with a beautiful silver screen presence. Mayer was worried about how she would sound on screen when talkies arrived because English was not her first language. However, in her role in the film “Anna Christie,” Garbo proved she could speak very well and it translated wonderfully on the silver screen. She became known for the line “I want to be alone,” portraying a depressed ballerina in the film “Grand Hotel.” Before anyone knew it Garbo actually retired from the silver screen and became a recluse, leaving wonderful memories behind.

TV Review: Ponies Is a Stylish Spy Story About Women Who Refuse to Stay in the Background
In a television landscape crowded with reboots, sequels, and prestige dramas competing for attention, Ponies arrives with a surprisingly confident voice. The series blends Cold War espionage with character-driven storytelling, offering a fresh perspective on a genre that has long been dominated by stoic men in trench coats and shadowy corridors. Rather than reinventing the spy thriller entirely, Ponies reframes it—placing women, emotion, and identity at the center of a world built on secrecy and power.
