REVIEW | UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN

The last episode of FX true crime series Under The Banner of Heaven just arrived on Hulu this past Thursday, and what a nerve wracking ride it has been over the past month. Created by Academy Award-winner filmmaker, Dustin Lance Black, and based on a homonymous nonfiction book written by Jon Krakauer, Under The Banner […]

Review | HEARTSTOPPER

A warm cup of tea on a snowy day. The fuzzy feelings of first love. A kiss under pouring rain. Life always has its way when it comes to unexpected moments of happiness. And although I’m not the kind of person who enjoys surprises very much, it never ceases to amaze me when one of […]

REVIEW | THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier debuted this Friday on Disney+, and fans are in for a wild, action packed spy thriller worthy of an IMAX screen. Picking up six months after the events of Avengers: Endgame, and starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, this brand-new Marvel Studios show follows the characters Sam Wilson a.k.a […]

REVIEW | WANDAVISION

Marvel Studios WandaVision aired its electrifying series finale this weekend, but viewers everywhere are hardly free from its spells. Breathing new life into the Marvel Cinematic Universe one episode at a time, WandaVision was an epic tale of love and grief, pain and eventual healing, as Wanda refuses to experience a world without those she […]

Review | God’s Own Country

God’s Own Country, written and directed by British filmmaker Francis Lee, is gay cinema at its finest. Rough, dry, and sometimes hard to watch, the movie is a simple but empathetic story of newfound love between an unruly Yorkshire farmer, Johnny Saxby (Josh O’Connor), and a Romanian immigrant worker, Gheorghe Ionescu (Alec Secăreanu). When Johnny’s […]

Review | Pelé

Pelé, Netflix’s newest documentary about the legendary Brazilian soccer player, is a disappointing and incomplete account of the life of the man known to be the greatest soccer player of all time. Directed by Ben Nicholas and David Tryhorn, the documentary is often dark and gloomy, as it revisits its subject’s life from its humble […]

Review | Blithe Spirit

Here’s my most honest advice about Edward Hall’s new comedy, Blithe Spirit: sit this one out. Set to be released this week in most theaters nationwide during the COVID-19 pandemic, you really shouldn’t risk your health for a movie that will have you bored out of your mind within the first hour. Adapted from a […]

Review | Judas and the Black Messiah

Over the past couple of years, very few movies have impacted me like Judas and the Black Messiah. From the electrifying opening credits to its tragic conclusion, Shaka King’s new directorial masterpiece hit me like a ton of bricks. Debuting on the heels of the first anniversary of the brutal assassination of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna […]

Review | Finding ‘Ohana

Finding ‘Ohana debuted on Netflix this weekend, and it’s already one of my favorite movies this year. Directed by Jude Weng, a Taiwan-born American director who made a name for herself behind the camera on shows like Black-ish and Fresh off the Boat, Finding ‘Ohana is a fast paced, family friendly adventure about uncovering pirate […]
