After watching zero movies last week, I had to rectify that situation and watch a couple this past weekend. To be fair, I am in the process of watching both seasons of Stranger Things in anticipation of the third season’s premiere July 4th. So that is my excuse for slacking. Also, there really weren’t any movies I was too keen on seeing in the theaters (sorry, Toy Story 4). With that, I decided to see what was available to rent and what I’ve been missing on Netflix.

Awards Show Recap: MTV Movie & TV Awards
This past Monday, the pre-taped MTV Movie & TV Awards aired, and it was a pretty decent time. Sure, there were some cringe-worthy moments, but would it be MTV if there weren’t any? Since adding television in the same categories as movies a few years back, the categories just seem like they’re missing quality performances, but this is all about what the fans like, so I suppose I can’t be too critical. Either way, there seemed to be a nice mix of winners between the two mediums.
Read moreMediocre Murder Mystery
Last night I decided to give Adam Sandler’s latest Neflix film, Murder Mystery, a shot, and I wasn’t really all too impressed. But it’s a comedy, and I’m not humorless, so I definitely threw out some laughs.
Read moreLate Night Movie Review
Last night I went and saw Late Night! I know there is still half of 2019 left, but I think I may have just found my favorite film of the year! It just had such a nice mix of everything and a stellar cast. And the hair on my arms stood up towards the end, which I don’t recall happening during any other film I’ve seen so far.

Sorry this is so delayed, but I promise, I did watch some films this weekend! A blockbuster, a kids movie, and an indie film. Here we go…
Read moreMovie Review: We Have Always Lived in the Castle
As a fan of all Daddario and Farmiga siblings, and Sebastian Stan’s face, I decided to watch We Have Always Lived in the Castle last night. Adapted from Shirley Jackson’s 1962 mystery novel of the same name, this film wasn’t necessarily mysterious based on today’s standards, but it was certainly eerie. Mainly because lead, Merricat (Taissa Farmiga), is quite odd and very succinct in her actions and vocabulary.
Read moreNetflix Movie Review: Always Be My Maybe
Another win for Netflix this weekend came in the form of romantic comedy, Always Be My Maybe, starring Ali Wong and Randall Park as former best friends who years later fumble into an endearing relationship.
Read moreNew Movie Weekend: Rocketman & Ma
Two very different films made up my weekend in movies; one was fantastical, while the other was profoundly confusing. I’ll let you guess which was which.
Read moreMemorial Day Weekend Movie MishMash
Alliterations aside, it’s true. I think I watched the most random array of movies this weekend, and in my book, they were all winners. For wildly different reasons, of course.
Read moreWine Country Movie Review
This weekend I managed to squeeze in a comedy released Friday on Netflix called Wine Country. It stars all your SNL alum favorites: Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell, and Emily Spivey. There were some special supporting players with a gruff Tina Fey and a doofie Jason Schwartzman who “came with the house.”
