I love a good sports movie. For some reason sports movies tend to package an unlikely combination of emotions into a single bundle. You have the thrill of the game combined with the individuals in play. You care about the individuals’ stories in their personal lives but you also want them to win on the…

The King of Staten Island is the latest movie from director Judd Apatow. There had been a lot of buzz surrounding this movie, so when it came out I dutifully roped my friends into watching it with me. Here’s a warning: If you are like me and Pete Davidson is not your cup of tea,…

Miss Americana promises an unfettered look at Taylor Swift’s life. But does it deliver? Miss Americana opens with a scene of Swift at a piano with one of her cats playfully walking across the keys. A wholesome image to begin a documentary that at times is anything but. The documentary covers the last few years…
