Ahhh Fall! 🍁🎃🍂 It’s my favorite season of the year! I love the leaves changing colors, the cooler crisp air in the air, and seeing the fall-themed decorations in my neighborhood. I’m fortunate to live in a place where the foliage is especially pretty… I often get distracted by the colorful trees while I’m driving …

Somehow I missed the release of this A24 movie this past Summer, but I’m glad I finally saw it this past weekend as it’s become one of my favorites!

AMSTERDAM (2022) Review – Another proof that star power never guarantees a movie’s quality
When I watched the trailer of Amsterdam back in July, I could barely pay attention to the story thanks to the star-studded ensemble.

FlixChatter Review: SMILE (2022) – a well-crafted horror film that’ll get your stomach in knots
Written and directed by: Parker Finn I'll be honest- I wasn't particularly interested in Smile after seeing the trailer. The characters' sinister facial expressions reminded me of the cheesy Snapchat filter smile effect from 2018's Truth or Dare, one of the worst horror movies I've reviewed, so my hopes weren't high. However, my aunt mentioned …
