My Review of "The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear"
The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear came out back in 1991. That's just 3 years after the original movie. I guess people are always worried when they make sequels to movies especially comedies. Hollywood doesn't have a really good track record with comedy specials but this one can be an exception. It carries much of the same sort of humor that we've seen in the first and adds a little twist for good measure.

My Review of "The Way Back"
The Way Back is one of the last movies that came out in theaters before the huge pandemic hit the world back in March. I remember feeling so privileged to think that this movie wasn't worth going to the theater to watch and now I can't go to theaters to watch any movies. It goes to show you how you can't take things for granted and appreciate all the opportunities that we have in life. Even something as small as going to the theater.

My Review of "Love Guaranteed"
Love Guaranteed is the latest Netflix exclusive romantic comedy that's come out in the last few months. They've been on a tear with these movies. They've been churning out these formulaic romantic comedies like crazy and I have to say I'm a little bit of a fan even though they're not the best movies. They're comfort viewing and none of them really stands out from one another. I guess they all have interesting premises with twists that set them apart from one another.

Review of 'Not Even Bones'
Synopsis "Twisty, grisly, genre-bending and immersive, Not Even Bones will grab you by the throat and drag you along as it gleefully tramples all of your expectations." --Sara Holland, New York Times best-selling author of Everless Nita doesn't murder supernatural beings and sell their body parts on the internet--her mother does that. Nita just dissects the bodies after they've been "acquired." Until her mom brings home a live specimen and Nita decides she wants out; dissecting a scared teenage boy is a step too far. But when she decides to save her mother's victim, she ends up sold in his place--because Nita herself isn't exactly "human." She has the ability to alter her biology, a talent that is priceless on the black market. Now on the other side of the bars, if she wants to escape, Nita must ask herself if she's willing to become the worst kind of monster.

Schitt's Creek | Netflix Original Series Review
Recently my boyfriend and I went to visit a friend for a socially distanced catch-up. As we bombarded each other with all the stories that we'd been unable to tell each other the past few months we finally got onto what we'd been watching on Netflix. She made us aware of Schitt's Creek, a comedy show she was currently going through for the second time. It instantly took my interest when we watched a few clips, then made even more interested when she mentioned that each episode was 20 minutes long.

My Review of "The Naked Gun: From The Files of Police Squad!"
The Naked Gun: From The Files of Police Squad! came out back in 1988 so I could already imagine all of the things in the movie that might trigger people. Triggers aside, this is actually a really funny movie. I forgot that they made movies like this and this could very well have been a starting point for some of the comedies that came out in the 90's.
