'Your Place or Mine'- Movie Review
The romantic comedy film "Your Place or Mine" was released in 2003, around the same time as other forgettable rom-coms like "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," "The Holiday," and "Something's Gotta Give." Despite being directed by the seasoned rom-com writer Aline Brosh McKenna, who also wrote the critically acclaimed "The Devil Wears Prada," "Your Place or Mine" falls short in terms of sharp dialogue and well-developed characters. It settles for being a pleasant, mindless watch that may be perfect for a lazy Saturday Netflix binge.

'Minions The Rise Of Gru'- Movie Review
“Minions: The Rise of Gru” is a new addition to the Despicable Me Universe and takes place in 1976. It has all the elements to cater to the less mature aspects of our sensibilities, with afros and ‘70’s era fashions, badass women in action, awful puns and wordplay, and disco music. The minions, those yellow, pill-shaped purveyors of trouble who are hopelessly devoted to Gru (Steve Carell), are back to support the “eleven and three-quarters” years old version of Gru.

'Freeridge'- Review
When reading the logline of Freeridge, it may seem like it would fit in with Netflix’s supernatural teen shows, like Stranger Things or Wednesday. The show revolves around a curse that plagues four 15-year-olds who believe it was caused by a mysterious old box, and their desperate attempts to reverse its effects. However, the supernatural aspect of the show is not the main focus. Instead, it serves as a backdrop for the more relatable themes of uncertainty about the future, the complexities of young love, and the responsibilities of family.

Ambush (2023) Film Review
Ambush, directed by Mark Burman, attempts to bring one of the most contentious periods in American history, the Vietnam War, to mainstream entertainment. Despite several attempts to make the war the subject of action films, such as Missing in Action, The Last Hunter, and Siege of Firebase Gloria, the Vietnam War has remained resistant to such efforts, and Ambush seems unlikely to change that.

'We Have a Ghost'- Movie Review
Christopher Landon is known for his unique horror films that stand out from the typical cynicism of the genre. He sidesteps the trend of “elevated horror” by infusing his films with an infectious sense of joy, exemplified in movies like “Happy Death Day,” "Happy Death Day 2U," and “Freaky.” Regardless of one's opinion on their execution or overall quality, there's no denying that Landon has a blast while making them. His latest offering, “We Have a Ghost,” shines when Landon is allowed to let loose and be playful, eliciting smiles from the viewers. However, while his directing is on point, the writing falls short, resulting in a movie that drags on for too long with multiple endings and recurring themes that fail to build upon the film's promising ideas. Overall, it's a decent distraction on Netflix, but one can only hope for Landon to create a third installment of “Happy Death Day” before revisiting this world.
