Music Break – Five favorite songs from West Side Story

I am still humming the gorgeous songs from West Side Story today, as last night I had the privilege of seeing the newly-adapted musical directed by Steven Spielberg at a Dolby Cinema. I haven't done a Music Break since last August, so I thought today would be the perfect time to highlight the timeless songs …

Double Reviews: Passing + The Forty-Year-Old Version

Passing and The Forty-Year Old Version are two Netflix films I saw recently that share some similarities. Both are feature film debuts of two female filmmakers, Rebecca Hall and Radha Blank, respectively, and both deal with racial inequality, albeit set in two different periods and dealt with in very different ways. PASSING (2021) "Passing" follows …

FlixChatter Review: HOUSE OF GUCCI (2021)

House of Gucci is scandalous family feud set in the world of haute couture... a sensational story ripe for a cinematic adaptation. Apparently Ridley Scott has been wanting to film this since the book of the same name by Sara Gay Forden was released in 2000, which centers on the brutal murder of the heir …

FlixChatter Review: King Richard (2021)

Even if you don’t really follow the world of tennis, you would have to live under a rock if you haven’t heard of Venus and Serena Williams. I have to admit I didn’t know much about their upbringing so when I saw the film was about their father, I was intrigued. Will Smith plays the title …

FlixChatter Review: RED NOTICE (2021)

I wasn't planning on reviewing this, but I felt somewhat compelled to after seeing it. This movie doesn't even fall into the SO BAD IT'S GOOD category, it's the kind that's SO ludicrous you're left just scratching your head why it ever got green-lit. I tweeted this right after I saw it... Watching #RedNotice is …
