Jumanji

Jumanji

Remember when kids/family movies weren’t all saccharine sweet? Case in point– 1995’s Jumanji, the perfect blend of terrifying, hilarious, and entertaining. This movie is A+ amazing to this day, and makes me miss Robin Williams every time I watch it (which is frequently). If you 

The Substance

The Substance

The Substance is possibly the most disgusting movie I’ve ever seen. That said, it’s also the most thought provoking film I’ve watched in a long, long time. The cinematic references, bless— call me a sucker for a carpet print from The Shining. But all in, 

The NeverEnding Story

The NeverEnding Story

The NeverEnding Story is one of those perfectly messed up childhood movies that you watch now and feel like you belong to a special club. Because it’s a REALLY good 80’s movie.  Based on a bonkers German fantasy novel by Michael Ende, The NeverEnding Story 

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids– a classic family film that made every child in the 1980’s crave Little Debbie’s. Also the movie that made me realize grown ups should ALWAYS listen to their pets. QUARK KNEW EVERYTHING THE ENTIRE TIME SZALINSKI. Set in an unspecified 

The Mummy

The Mummy

Post Indiana Jones, 1999’s The Mummy might be one of the best adventure films made. If you feel compelled at any time to watch the sequel tho (or the crap retry with Tom Cruise), think again. But this one is aces. Set in 1920’s Egypt, 

Rosemary’s Baby

Rosemary’s Baby

Every time I watch Rosemary’s Baby, I forget how furious it makes me. Sure, it’s scary and all, but the truly horrifying amount of gaslighting perpetrated against Rosemary evokes mostly feminine RAGE. If you haven’t seen the film, read on. Rosemary’s Baby follows a young 

Howl’s Moving Castle

Howl’s Moving Castle

I’ve been wanting to tackle Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki for a long while, and luckily my fave in the collection– Howl’s Moving Castle– is a bit simpler culinarily speaking its companions. Don’t worry, I’ll get to Spirited Away eventually. Based on a fantasy novel 

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 

Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom

Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom

Ok, so Temple of Doom isn’t the best of the Indiana Jones films, but it’s certainly not the worst. This assumes you even consider Crystal Skull to be part of the franchise, however; I myself am still pretending it was never made.  Technically a PREQUEL 

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park

While the initial intention was to time this Jurassic Park menu to the release of the sixth (and dear god we hope) final movie in the Jurassic Park/World franchise, I’ve also realized that I’m slowly making my way through the Steven Spielberg “top five”. If
