I have been waiting for this movie for quite some time, as a few years ago I became obsessed with Richard III after watching The White Queen. The Starz series presented a more sympathetic portrayal of the last Plantagenet king, who was also the last English king to die in battle in 1485 which ended …

I'm just an ordinary girl who loves flicks across all genres (except horror). From Jane Austen costume-dramas, lush fantasy epics to sfx-laden, full-throttle action, my taste in movies can be quite perplexing. My dad was in the film biz in the 70s in my home country Indonesia, so I guess I inherit his love for writing and movies. But it's my mother who first introduced Hollywood classics early in my upbringing. When I was about 11 or 12, she brought "Gone with the Wind," "The Sound of Music," and "My Fair Lady" VHS tapes from her European vacation. To this day, I still think Clark Gable is one hot & manly man (even for someone who despise mustache!); and who didn't have a crush on that stringent-but-hunky-in-uniform Captain Von Trapp? As for "My Fair Lady," the inimitably classy Audrey Hepburn was (and still is) the fairest maiden in Tinseltown.
Top 10 Favorite movies: Batman Begins, Ben-Hur, Casino Royale, Dear Frankie, Gladiator, Moulin Rouge, Return to Me, Roman Holiday, Sense & Sensibility, The Gods Must Be Crazy.
JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 Review – pure adrenaline actioner that’s wickedly Reeve-ting
It's been four years since Chapter 3, aka Parabellum so I had to brush up a bit on the JW 'mythology' as it were, which gets more complex with each movie. Apparently this franchise wasn't always this complicated. Per this Thrillist article, director Chad Stahelski, a veteran stuntman who used to double for Keanu Reeves, …

Trio trailer spotlights of movies #directedbywomen – Past Lives, You Hurt My Feelings, Joy Ride
Happy Hump Day! I'm feeling a bit off today and struggling to get my reviews done. I'm about halfway done with my review of John Wick Chapter 4 and stay tuned for my upcoming reviews of The Lost King and Tetris movie. In any case, I've been meaning to do a trailer post of some …
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) Review – not as satisfying a crowd-pleaser as the first movie, but still delivers some laughs
It's a rather slow weekend and a particularly cold one here in the Twin Cities, but for some reason, my hubby and I were in the mood to go to the movies. We loved the first Shazam! movie as it was zany, goofy, and silly but with a huge heart as Billy Batson (Asher Angel) …
LIAISON (2023) review: AppleTV+’s first Anglo-French spy series is more tedious than thrilling despite its stellar cast
Romantic thriller is my jam and Liaison already had me from a brief scene in the trailer when two estranged lovers cross paths again after 20 years. Vincent Cassel and Eva Green have such explosive chemistry even when they silently stare at each other through a rain-splattered window. It's a dramatic scene full of romantic …
’65’ (2023) Review – an underwhelming sci-fi but still watchable thanks to Adam Driver’s commanding presence
It was the week leading to the Oscars and all the movies in the top 5 box office would never have been nominated. Third on the list is 65, which beat pundits' expectations and defied dismal reviews with a $12 million domestic gross. I LOVE Adam Driver and dinosaur movies, so I don't mind buying …
