AHHHH Olivia Colman! If you don’t know about her you better get acquainted fast. If you want to watch her in something truly amazing check out Broadchurch on Netflix. It’s a British television show and there are three seasons and it is one of my favorite shows ever. Plus in case you didn’t know, Colman…

The first modern day movie with an all Asian cast and an Asian-American lead in twenty-five plus years? Yep, sign me up. Took you long enough Hollywood. This one is helmed by director Jon Chu who also directed the Justin Bieber documentary Never Say Never. What a gem. I have to say he truly delivers…

Janet Gaynor. Judy Garland. Barbra Streisand. Those are some pretty big shoes to fill. But luckily Lady Gaga proves that she is up to the task. She stars alongside Bradley Cooper who also wrote and directed the newest version of A Star is Born. Personally my favorite version is the 1954 one with Judy Garland.…

I love Barry Jenkins and I thought his first film Moonlight was an important one that needed to be made. I was eager to see how his follow up film would fare. This one is a love story set in Harlem. Tish (KiKi Layne) and Fonny (Stephan James) are a young couple in love. When…

You get to see the formation of the band with Mercury joining forces with Brian May (Gwilym Lee), John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello), and Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy). They start from…

I’m definitely a fan of superhero movies. But I’m not a die hard mega fan who knows everything about the comics and can recite facts. So my apologies if I get anything wrong now or in the future when talking about Marvel movies. Black Panther is a pretty standard origin story. It reveals how T’Challa…

Oh Jonah Hill. Look how far you’ve come from Super Bad. I’m not going to lie, I was very wary of seeing this film. Mainly because Jonah Hill as a writer/director of a drama? C’mon, I know I’m not the only one who was skeptical. I’m happy to report that I thoroughly enjoyed this one.…

Can we all agree that Carey Mulligan is underrated? Everything I see her in she’s amazing but she tends to fly under the radar. Get it together Hollywood! They need to recognize. Her performance in Wildlife is exactly what I’m talking about here. She is the movie. She stars opposite Jake Gyllenhaal who sometimes creeps…
