This weekend, I watched the latest Mission: Impossible installment- The Final Reckoning (is it really the final one? Who knows anymore?). What I do know is that this franchise has lived a long life powered by Tom Cruise’s energy, charisma, and refusal to slow down. And, while this […]
Sometimes, you just have to do it. You have to open up your streaming app of choice, lower your standards to basement-level, and dive headfirst into the cinematic dumpster fire that is purposefully bad movies. Not ironically. Not as background noise. No. You commit. And reader, I committed […]
The other night, in a haze of weeknight exhaustion and leftover takeout, I found myself rewatching Notting Hill. Yes, that wonderfully charming ’90s rom-com where Hugh Grant blinks his way into Julia Roberts’ superstar heart. I was ready for the famous lines — “I’m just a girl, standing […]
This past Sunday, I caught the tail end of an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning about movies and the elusive cinematic experience. The interviewee was discussing the shift in how we consume films—people are now averaging two movie theater visits a year, but they’re watching around seven […]
Why these two, though? And what does my current TV lineup say about my psyche? Let’s start with So I Married an Axe Murderer. Mike Myers plays a quirky, commitment-phobic poet who suspects his new wife might just be a serial killer. Casual, right? It’s ridiculous, irreverent, and […]
Let me tell you, there’s a unique kind of helplessness that comes when your voice is “detained” by laryngitis. I’m not just talking about a little raspy whisper—I mean full-on, out-of-commission, barely-able-to-mutter-a-word laryngitis. As someone who tends to speak her mind (okay, maybe a little too much), being […]
This past week, I fell deep into the world of espionage. From decoding secret messages to outsmarting nefarious agents, I binged spy movies and shows like The Agency, rewatched several Mission Impossible movies, and dove into The November Man and Beirut. All these high-octane, action-packed stories reminded me […]
Ever had one of those days where something just feels… off? Like maybe, just maybe, there’s a glitch in the matrix? I’m not talking about seeing black cats cross your path twice (although that would be pretty nerve-wracking). I’m talking about those tiny, weird moments where life seems […]
List 30 things that make you happy If it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad. Oh, Sheryl Crow, you’ve wormed your way into my brain once again. And speaking of brain worms, how did Sheryl end up dating Lance Armstrong? But I digress. And honestly, digressing […]
This weekend, my son and I ventured into the chaotic, irreverent world of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” a movie that somehow manages to blend snark, sentiment, and superhero shenanigans into a cinematic cocktail that’s impossible to resist. Marvel, once again, flexed its box office muscles, raking in a jaw-dropping […]
