Fatman | Movie Review
Fatman is a wickedly fun entry in the Christmas movie genre. A spoiled kid named Billy (Chance Hurstfield) hires a hitman (a deliciously twisted Walton Goggins) to off Santa (a perfectly cast Mel Gibson) after Billy receives a box of coal on Christmas. What ensues is violent, gory, and darkly comedic. This was a refreshing… Continue reading Fatman | Movie Review
Happiest Season | Movie Review
Happiest Season is an absolute delight. My heart was full of the warm and fuzzies as the credits rolled, and this is such an important film for the LGBTQ+ community. Harper (Mackenzie Davis) and Abby (Kristen Stewart) are a happy couple who decide to spend Christmas at Harper’s parents home. The kicker? Harper hasn’t come… Continue reading Happiest Season | Movie Review
Unhinged | Movie Review
I went into Unhinged assuming I’d have a fun time with a decent action/thriller, and the movie actually surpassed my expectations a little. Sure, I still had loads of fun watching it, but this was a surprisingly violent, action-packed thrill ride. The premise hinges (ahem) on a single mother named Rachel (Caren Pistorius) taking her… Continue reading Unhinged | Movie Review

Alice Winocour’s Proxima is a stunning, breathtaking film. Eva Green is superb as Sarah, a female astronaut selected to spend a year on the International Space Station (ISS).

The film also… Continue reading Proxima | Movie Review
Aquaman (2018) Movie Review
I went into this with bated breath and hope, and luckily I was able to let that breath out and thoroughly enjoyed this fun ride. Aquaman knows it's heritage has been teased and picked on, and embraces that. This is a purely fun, superhero popcorn flick. It's also the best DC movie since Wonder Woman.… Continue reading Aquaman (2018) Movie Review
Halloween (2018) Movie Review
I adore the original Halloween, so I had fairly high expectations for this sequel. I'm extremely glad to say it lived up to my expectations and more.

He was sent to a mental institution after being caught, and… Continue reading Halloween (2018) Movie Review
First Man (2018) – Movie Review
First Man is the fourth directorial effort from Damien Chazelle (Whiplash, La La Land), and it's a powerful, if flawed, biopic about Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling). This film chronicles the life of Armstrong from when he first became an astronaut through to his landing on the moon. This is a handsome movie, with beautiful cinematography and stunning… Continue reading First Man (2018) – Movie Review
