What did the two movies I watched this weekend have in common? More than I would have expected! At a very high level anyways.

Mediocre Movie Weekend
To be fair, I did it to myself for at least two of these picks, but still.
Read moreACLU Event with Ike Barinholtz & Busy Philipps
When celebrities are going to be at a free event basically in your backyard on a Thursday, you have to go! And that’s what I did! The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sponsored this Likover Lecture to shed light on two areas: abortion and voting rights. So naturally, they tapped two celebrities who are very passionate about these topics: Ike Barinholtz and Busy Philipps!
Read moreNetflix Movie Review: The Laundromat
Note: just because a film has three A-listers, does not mean it’s going to be good. Such is the case with the latest Netflix film, The Laundromat, which stars powerhouses, Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, and Meryl Streep. I’m not saying the performances were bad. Odd, but not bad. The script was the bad part.
Read moreZombieland: Double Tap Review
Nostalgia came back for the weekend with Zombieland: Double Tap. It’s like ten years never even passed (except for maybe Abigail Breslin) on this quest to survive hoards of zombies.
Read moreWeekend Movie Round-up
Once again, I’m trying to make up for the abysmal job I did last month, so I high-tailed it to the theater twice this weekend! First up was the long awaited (for me) Ad Astra. I know there was a lot of hype around this movie, but it being about space, I was a little skeptical.
Read moreThe Weekend Keeps on Going Movie Review
I told you all there was more to come! In order to make up for my abysmal viewings in September, I felt I needed to step up my game this first weekend to make it count. So with that, I started off with and oldie, but a goodie, Disturbia.
Read moreNew Movie Review: Joker and In The Tall Grass
Hoo boy! Starting off the month with an excellent movie, Joker! As advertised and how one could assume, this was a very dark take on how Arthur Fleck became the Joker. We open on Arthur laughing for an almost painfully long time before we see that he’s talking to a social worker. Having previously been in an institute, Arthur now works as a clown for hire, and seemingly enjoys it. That is until he gets the crap beat out of him by some mean teens. Life just continues to pummel him throughout the rest of the movie.
Read moreMy Trip to NYC!
Friends! I just got back from the coolest trip I’ve been on since I went to CinemaCon in Las Vegas almost two years ago. It’s been about five years, but I finally headed back to New York to visit one of my oldest friends. And this time I told her we were going to see as many celebrities that we can muster in three days – we succeeded!
Read moreWeekend Movie Review: Brittany Runs a Marathon & Hustlers
I realize we’re already half way through the week, but that doesn’t discredit the movies I did see this weekend! Neither were knockouts, but they were both memorable in very different ways.
