The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Secret Life of Walter Mitty is one of those 2010’s films that you forgot about until it pops up in your algorithm and you go “hm– that was pretty good”. And then you watch and remember that it’s not good– it’s actually GREAT. A perfect 

Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump

30 years after its release (omg I’m OLD), Forrest Gump still holds up. Parts may not necessarily be as PC as they were once thought to be, but it’s still an A+ film that deserved all six of its Academy Award wins. That doesn’t even 

Mermaids

Mermaids

1990’s Mermaids is the perfect movie for Mother’s Day– or, alternatively, any mothers/daughters out there who live for driving each other nuts no matter what day it is. Fair warning though, you’re likely to relive some excruciatingly embarrassing moments from your youth as you watch. 

Casablanca

Casablanca

This is a movie blog after all, so I had to create a menu for Casablanca. Is it my favorite Bogie flick? Nah. But Ingrid sure can work a tilted hat. Though Warner Bros didn’t put up much cash for Casablanca, the film is still 

Chef

Chef

Get ready to salivate– Chef is one of those foodie films that opens with food, closes with food, and has all the cooking, plating, and eating you could want in between.  A 2014 indie darling by Jon Favreau, Chef follows Carl Casper, a high-end LA 

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Everything Everywhere All At Once

I could spend days talking about Everything Everywhere All At Once. I can’t remember the last time I saw a film this  original, while still being relatable and intensely relevant. A24, you did so good.  Everything Everywhere follows Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh, brilliant), a disgruntled 

A League of Their Own

A League of Their Own

So last month kind of sucked for women. Actually, it really really sucked. But all the more reason to watch A League of Their Own– 30 years old on July 1, 2022 and a wonderful film to spend your afternoon with if you’re not feeling 

Waitress

Waitress

So, to be completely 100% all the way honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of Waitress when it was released in 2007. At the time I knew nothing of the broadway musical that would come later that same year, and I had already seen (and 

The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club– a perfect back-to-school time movie and perhaps the most famous in the John Hughes coming of age oeuvre. Sure, a case could be made for Ferris Bueller, and I do love me some Uncle Buck, but The Breakfast Club is the movie in 

Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried Green Tomatoes

I’d always promised myself that, should ever I start a “dinner and a movie” blog, Fried Green Tomatoes would be the first post. That clearly didn’t happen, and for a variety of reasons, but I think the biggest one is that I love this movie
