“There are many stories of chivalry, where the heroic knight saves the damsel in distress. This is not one of them,” was the opening line of “Damsel,” Netflix’s latest film released on March 8, otherwise known as International Women’s Day. Like many during their childhood, I was mesmerized by fairy […]
Believe it or not, “Godzilla: Minus One” does not contain a single shot with its titular giant monster in frame during its entire length. However, I was far from disappointed. Everyone in that packed opening night theater was crying and applauding when the credits rolled, and one fact stood out […]
Ridley Scott’s 2000 film “Gladiator” is one of my top five favorite films. “The Blade Runner,” “Alien” and “The Martian” are amongst his most notable works, and recently he released “Napoleon.” Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix stars as the famed military commander and former emperor of France, while Vanessa Kirby shines […]
Beyoncé is my favorite artist of all time. For as long as I can remember, I have been in love with her music. Her first album “Dangerously in Love” debuted in 2003, the year I was born, so I was quite literally born a Beyoncé Knowles fan! In July of […]

If someone were to be crowned the king or queen of found footage horror, it would be writer and director Stephen Cognetti. In 2015, Cognetti released “Hell House LLC,” one of my absolute favorite scary movies and one of the scariest horror films to date. “Hell House LLC II: The […]
Gareth Edwards’ “The Creator” was an eye-opening dystopian film that played with emotions in an interesting way. I will avoid sharing details that spoil the best parts, but the film follows a man named Joshua, a former special forces agent, as he tries to find and destroy a weapon made […]
Although the SAG-AFTRA strike has pushed back and limited the amount of films we were able to see, summer 2023 brought us some of the best movies of the year. With studios like A24 and directors such as Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan, this was the season of the theater. […]
