The Shining

The Shining

I hadn’t really delved into Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining until my post college years. Now of course I’m a Stephen King fanatic, so suffice it to say I really love this movie. As one of the best in the horror genre, The Shining is an 

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 

Idiocracy

Idiocracy

It’s January of 2025 what the hell else am I gonna post? Idiocracy is one of those horrifically accurate movies that makes you laugh hysterically and then, after two hours of marinating, makes you sob. Because we’re really there. A world where the #1 movie 

10 Things I Hate About You

10 Things I Hate About You

At some point I’ll have a series of menus based on movies from the 90’s that are actually based on literature– there were THREE in 1999 alone! So let’s start with the best of those, 10 Things I Hate About You. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s 

The Sandlot

The Sandlot

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 

Cool Runnings

Cool Runnings

I’m feeling very Olympic today! Partly because of the actual Olympics, but mostly because I’ve been watching Cool Runnings on repeat to prep this post. It’s been a great week :). You probably already know that Cool Runnings was loosely based on actual events that 

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off has always reminded me of my youth visiting family and friends in Chicago. I’m a Florida kid, so I always appreciated the cold weather and fireflies. And the Shedd Aquarium. And the Adler Planetarium. And the trains. And the river. And
