My Review of "A River Runs Through It"
A River Runs Through It isn't the typical movie that I like watching. It's a period piece talking about how fishing can bring back a relationship between separated siblings. The explanation seems really dry but there's really a lot more to this movie than that. It isn't really a good description to get someone like me to watch this movie. What can I say? I'm a victim of the era I live in.

Why "Dead to Me" is worth your time
A show I started because I was bored and I thought, "why the hell not?" What I got was an incredible show, full of humour, characters that are three dimensional, and excellent twists.

My Review of "Johnny English Strikes Again"
Johnny English Strikes Again is an attempt to bring back the bumbling spy genre back. I've seen a lot of these over the years but this one has a different Rowan Atkinson spin on it. You'll see a few of the Mr. Bean mannerisms that sneak in here and there. I wouldn't say it was an absolutely great movie but it wasn't totally terrible either.

My Review of "October Sky"
October Sky had me engaged from the minute it started. What's even crazier is that it's based on a true story. Going into the movie I thought it was already an extraordinary tale. To find out that it was based on a true story really inspired me to believe in people and their dreams.

Never Have I Ever realised how important representation is
Never Have I Ever features an American high school student Devi Vishwakumar ( Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) who had a tragic first year and is trying her best to move on forward. This involved the death of her father, losing the ability to use her legs and generally becoming a social outcast with an overbearing mother breathing down her neck the whole time. She's volatile, foul-mouthed, horny, confused and emotional. So basically, a normal teenager.

Tall Girl...A Review
Scrolling through Netflix one day, I came upon "Tall Girl" as one of the new releases. I knew it was another two hour long high school misfit tale, but decided to give it a chance anyway. Being a new movie, of course there was a lot of hype about it, and I didn't want to miss out in case it was good.

My Review of "The Half Of It"
The Half Of It turned out to be a really good movie. I honestly wasn't looking forward to seeing this movie because I thought it would end up as a mere copy of the movie Roxanne (but then Roxanne was a copy of Cyrano de Bergerac). Little did I know there's a huge twist at the end that I saw coming but didn't see coming.

My Review of "Can You Ever Forgive Me?"
Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a biography of Lee Isreal. I haven never heard of Lee until I watched this movie. Her story is absolutely fascinating. I really fell for this movie because of her bond with her friend Jack. They are a true odd couple that really work. Their chemistry is undeniable and I really wished for more scenes with the two together.

The Half of It: A (Mostly Full) Experience
Coming of age movies that center around young adults always intrigue me. They're one of my favorite genres of movies not only because of their unbelievable degree of relatability, but their capacity to tell wonderful stories about the range of emotions people can experience. Teenagers are volatile, for better or worse - they make wild decisions, try so many new things and can be very emotional, and these movies reflect that - be it the incredibly heartfelt journeys seen in movies like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, or the narratives that are intertwined with comedy, such as Superbad or Booksmart.

A Short Review of Cats (2019, Tom Hooper)
Why did I watch this film? Why? WHY? I mean considering the original musical trailer actually scarred me as a child, surely I shouldn't have gone to see this potentially mortifying, cat fuelled extravaganza. Well this CGI adaptation of the popular stage play surprisingly didn't have the same effect as that trailer but it is was enough to make my brain turn to mush and question the very fabric of my own existence. Not in a good way! The film was so terrible I had to contemplate what existential force placed it into being! The torment was so high I think it was the only way I survived!
