The Menu

I loved The Menu. So much that I’m a little concerned I have rage issues and/or violent tendencies…but the self aware part of me is also tickled that The Menu makes fun of people like ME– “foodies” who spend too much money on groceries, who …

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 …

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 …

Parasite

Parasite was by far my favorite film of 2019. I’m almost never happy with award season outcomes, but Director Bong Joon-Ho more than deserved all of the wins– this is A+ cinema. The movie focuses on the destitute Kim family in South Korea, who scam …

Inception

Most of us can’t see Tenet in theaters (already dating this post), so I figured there’s no better time for Inception– a mind-bendy Chris Nolan film with an equally mind-bendy menu.  Rewatching Inception, I always hearken back to older retro sci-fis like Dreamscape and Dark …
