Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion

It’s like. Duh. One of the best 90’s movies EVER. It’s also way smarter than you might think. Starring Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion is a comedic alternative to Thelma & Louise and a wonderfully lighthearted balm for anyone (and 

Jaws

Jaws

I grew up in Florida. We had a boat. And let me just put it in writing: I DO NOT. GO. IN. THE OCEAN. It is dark, and there are sharks in there. See: Jaws. Oddly though, this film has become a comfort movie for 

Independence Day

Independence Day

Yesterday was World UFO Day, tomorrow is the 4th of July, and today it’s the 25th anniversary of Roland Emmerich’s badass alien blockbuster, Independence Day. So I mean, I HAD to take yesterday off to get this menu out there. Just don’t tell my boss. 

Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark

Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark

This past weekend was the 40th anniversary of the beginning of the Indiana Jones trilogy, Raiders of the Lost Ark! (We do not acknowledge any subsequent Indy productions on this blog– they are blasphemous and shameful.) I have too many thoughts on this, one of 

Thelma & Louise

Thelma & Louise

ON THIS DAY 30 years ago, Thelma & Louise drove across the country in a blue Thunderbird and into the annals of feminist film history. It’s one of those movies I rediscover every 10 years– funny, tragic, and (sadly) still so relevant, Thelma & Louise was written 

The Birdcage

The Birdcage

I’m now back in Los Angeles after an almost 6 month hiatus in my home state of Florida– and yes, it’s often as weird  there as the internet says. However, now that I’m back to my regular life on the West Coast, I’m finding that 

Grabbers

Grabbers

Happy Day After St. Patrick’s Day (or Tuesday, I don’t know what you’ve been up to tonight)! Time to indulge in hangover food/hair of the dog and the movie Grabbers: an Irish comedy horror mashup of Tremors and Aliens. The film is set in a 

Once/Sing Street

Once/Sing Street

MY FIRST EVER DOUBLE FEATURE! It’s St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow and I figured there’s no better time to subject myself to a roller coaster of emotions– after all, you have Irish stew and all the alcohol you need to balance everything out. Consequently, here are 

When Harry Met Sally

When Harry Met Sally

Aaaahh When Harry Met Sally– THE classic rom com perfect for an at-home New Years Eve celebration. It is also the best of its genre. If you think you have a superior candidate, feel free to send it my way. Ok maybe Princess Bride is 

The Family Stone

The Family Stone

The Family Stone is one of those movies that I have to watch every year– usually late at night with no one around to see me ugly cry. It’s tradition. At the outset of my first viewing experience, I honestly didn’t have high expectations. Yet
