The main appeal for me to see Quiz Lady is the dynamic duo of Sandra Oh and Awkwafina, and these two talented comediennes are indeed so fun to watch as estranged sisters. Awkwafina plays against type (well sort of) as an uptight introvert Anne Yum who’s obsessed with a game show a la Jeopardy called …

FlixChatter Review: ASTEROID CITY – Wes Anderson’s first foray into sci-fi is soulless + overly self-indulgent
You know what to expect when you go see a Wes Anderson movie, as his shtick is persistent across all his work there are endless spoofs of a bunch of classic movies done in Wes Anderson style. I have not seen all of his work but I love The Grand Budapest Hotel, Fantastic Mr Fox, …
Trailer Spotlight – Wes Anderson’s ASTEROID CITY – his first foray into sci-fi features an out-of-this-world cast
I know we've barely escaped Winter yet – there's actually an upcoming Winter storm coming tomorrow until Saturday morning [SIGH], but I'm already anticipating Spring and Summer movies!

Rental Pick: The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) A year after their father's funeral, three brothers travel across India by train in an attempt to bond with each other. To say it's a quirky movie is an understatement, you've come to expect that from Wes Anderson, but I think this one felt extra kooky as it has a bit …
FlixChatter Review: Saving Mr. Banks
Right away with the vintage 1960’s Disney opening, I knew this film was going to be something special.
