Let’s all lighten up a bit. — I’ve seen a lot of interesting criticism about Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci (yes, Ridley Scott of science fiction film fame. Many are asking why, but, I mean, why not?). Both Vox and The Irish Times called the film “pointless,” the former contending that Lady Gaga’s performance alone saved the…

These ladies are killin’ it (see what I did there?) — Being a huge enthusiast of both film and fashion, my vision board is filled with stills of some of my favorite movie stars, like Grace Kelly in Rear Window (1954), Su Li-zhen in In the Mood for Love (2000), and Anna Karina in Bande a Part (1964). …

That is the question. — In the beginning, I told myself I’d do all sorts of things. I’d overachieve on my goals at work each day and devote my evenings to writing. For every five calls I made, I’d do fifteen squats or thirty sit-ups. I’d wake up at 6 AM each morning for a…

Come find out which ones I think are hot and which ones are decidedly ~not~ — I’m back! Hello! I know I haven’t published anything since February. To be honest, the pandemic really started to wear on my mental health over the past few months, leaving me lethargic and pretty uninspired. What matters, though, is that I’m back and ready to review some films! …

This is a weird Valentine’s Day. — Usually, if I don’t have a date on Valentine’s Day (cue wink), I get margaritas with my friends.
