A Practice in Mindfulness: The Talented Mr. Ripley
Let me be upfront...I haven't actually seen THAT many movies. DON'T JUDGE ME Before I started this movie gig lol I will always, unapologetically, consider myself a reader before a watcher, but having enjoyed a lot of both in recent years, I realize I love art. No matter what form it takes. So I've been on a quest to see as many movies as I can, rewatching some I've seen, experiencing some for the first time... I fully believe we're becoming a consumption society. We're losin

Mercy...You'll Be Begging For It
Chris Pratt & Rebecca Ferguson in Mercy (2026) Let's start this review by saying: It's January. You can't expect much, but I aim to be fair. Sure, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is getting great reviews, but it isn't the norm for this time of year. Which brings us to Mercy. Oh boy. Let's do this...sigh... Maybe Rebecca Ferguson has been told, "Just agree to any and every movie." And there is zero wrong with that. Even Michael Caine has taken movies strictly for the check.

Even though the box office hasn't reflected it, 2025 was a pretty good year for movies.

Quick Hits: Wicked For Good just isn't
Full confession straight up in today's Quick Hits: Wicked For Good... I'm not a musical fan. That being said, I did enjoy Wicked Part I for what it was. It helps that, even if you haven't seen the Broadway play, you might have been familiar with one or two songs from the play/movie. Off to see the Wizard? Hold off on that If you didn't see it at all, hated it, or had zero awareness that this play even existed... this movie isn't for you... What made the first one enjoyable, o

Quick Hits: From Tron Ares to After the Hunt
I know four people probably skim this, so shout out to you guys. You're the true champs for reading this slop What would you even like to know right now? I'm so behind on everything, so I feel like I could randomly talk about anything and it would help to chip away at the overwhelmingness I think constantly. Movie reviews are hard to keep up with during this time of year. I think a few weeks in October, I was seeing 3-4 movies a week. Before you say, "Oh, that must be so fu
