Music Break + Cinematography Appreciation: The Dark Valley (2014)

Boy it's been over a month since I made a Music Break post. I've just recently re-watched this schnitzel western, a grossly underrated gem of a movie, and since been obsessing over its soundtrack. I never would've seen this if it weren't for Sam Riley, but having a crush actually helps broadens my cinematic horizon 😉 …

Everybody’s Chattin’ + First Look of ‘Queen of Katwe’ + ‘Free Fire’

Happy Wednesday everybody! I'm still high from seeing the first look of my dahling Sam Riley in Ben Wheatley's new movie (more of that below). It's been ages since I see anything new with him on social media… ah the peril of loving an underrated actor. But y'know what they say, you can't choose who …

Spring is in the air!!

Top Ten Favorite Actor Voices… that I can listen to for hours

Well, on Tuesday night I saw the press screening of The Jungle Book, which is a remake of the 1967 animated film. It was such a pleasant surprise, a visually-mesmerizing film with a simple-yet-moving story. That film is certainly an eye AND ear candy, with phenomenal voice actors like Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson, …

Everybody’s Chattin + Music Break: Pride + Prejudice + Zombies (2016)

Happy Midweek everybody! Well after a balmy March, April has been pretty darn cold, windy and downright blech! I can't believe I had to wear my parka today and still I'm freezing my pants off. Well, I remember a snow storm a couple of years ago made me miss the screening for Mud during MSPIFF, so hopefully …

MARCH Viewing Recap + Films I’m looking forward to in April

Well it's technically Spring and the sun is shining outside, but Winter hasn't quite left us just yet. Temps is only in the 40s so we can't exactly plant those Petunias just yet. Heck, we might even still get snow later tonight! But hey, it IS April so I'm gonna pretend Spring IS here. So here …
