Netflix has been blazing the trail in bringing back what has been referred to as a dying genre: the romcom, via the method of producing a lot of it And by a lot, I mean A LOT. Christmas, Valentine’s, coming of age romcoms….you name it, they got it. I am not sure if this method…
The moment I saw the trailer for Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, I knew this was made for me. As much as I love the good ‘ol standard caped crusader fare with their shiny suits, unerring sense of justice and Messianic Complex, I have always had a soft spot for misfits, oddballs and anti-hero superheroes. And…
I usually am wary of sex comedies because they could easily venture towards the offensive route. Sex is a tricky topic to delve into, one that requires a degree of perceptiveness. So I came into Netflix’s Sex Education (2019) with not much expectations really. In my mind I was already categorizing this as one of those…
Roma (2018) I was not prepared for a black and white film to look so lush and enthralling, and to just pull me in, the way it did. But the real magic lies in the fact that Cuaron knows how to both tell and write a story. Roma tells such an earnest, heart-rending story…
To the 90s kids who grew up with the 1967 Disney Animated film, The Jungle Book, Netflix’s Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle might be a strange, dark, little pill to swallow. There is definitely no singing bears to be found here. The Bad News: I don’t know if it was intentional to have Mowgli the movie,…
Plot: Sabrina Spellman must reconcile her dual nature as a half-witch, half-mortal while fighting the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit. (See Wikipedia) The Bad News: One of the main plot points in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is how she is split down the middle. One foot in the…
Soooo I just gobbled up the entire first season of Netflix’s Queer Eye. And I now have been saying things like: “Yaaas Queen”, “Ferosh”, “GORJ”, and “Can You Belive?!” I don’t think I have ever been this obsessed with a reality TV show since Survivor: All Stars circa 2003. And just so you know, Netflix’s Queer…
Happy Holidays everyone! With that said, I just watched not one, but two Netflix made for TV, Hallmark/Lifetime-ish kind of Christmas movie! And they’re ridiculous! And I love it! I mean I was told that I am quite nit picky with romance in books, and yeah sometimes in movies. But with movies like these, you…
Death Note (2017) I know about Death Note, the manga series, but I didn’t realize how extensively popular it has been. It has spawned an animated series, a video game, two Japanese live action films, a three-part mini series, a TV drama and a musical. Yes, a musical. So it makes sense that an American…
Get Out (2017) A title like this sounds like it’s a Will Ferell comedy romp of getting rid of an unwanted visitor, the visitor is probably played by Zack Galifianakis in all his Zach Galifinakisness. And when you find out that the director is Jordan Peele, the other half of the comedic duo Key and…
