To start, Nomadland is an American drama movie about the resurgence of modern day “nomads” in the United States due to economic crisis, and the desire to free oneself from modern day Corporate America. It’s based on the 2017 book, Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty First Century by Jessica Bruder. It’s quiet in its nature but rich in emotion and compassion, which is one of my favorite…

In 2019, if you asked me what my hobbies were, I would have immediately replied, “Going to the movie theater.” I used to go to the movie theater at least once a week, but more often than not I found myself there 2 or 3 times in the span of a week, especially during awards season. All that changed, of course, in March 2020 when I went into quarantine and my local theaters closed their doors for an…

It’s no secret that Disney is the the land of many souvenirs. Everywhere you look, the Parks are filled with gift shops and various stands selling things to commemorate your Disney trip with. You know, I keep it relatively real here so I’ll be honest – a lot of the stuff that the Disney Parks come out with is pretty tacky or even lame to me. There’s cringe t-shirts, tacky housewares, and useless…

To All the Boys: Always and Forever is available to stream on Netflix Yes, I had to give this movie it’s own review. It’s the end of an era, y’all! To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before started a trend on Netflix that proved that romantic comedies can resurge again, and they can be touching, diverse, and even funny. We haven’t lost the romantic comedy! Rejoice! I’m not going to lie to you and say…

How “A Goofy Movie” Saved 2020

A lot of people think of A Goofy Movie as the ultimate piece of 90s childhood nostalgia. I will start off by saying that A Goofy Movie wasn’t actually a huge and formative part of my childhood. I actually didn’t care for either of the popular Goofy movies until this past year. I don’t really know why for certain. I didn’t give them the proper time of day because I thought a movie with a cartoon…

Oooooh those words themselves sound so cringe don’t they? A DISNEY ADULT. We had to go and give a label to non-children who are simply fans of Disney. You may already know this, but I am not a big fan of people judging other people simply for the things they like. I call myself a Disney Adult for that reason – I don’t really care how cringe that sounds. I would consider myself a fairly recent…

A few weeks ago, a trending topic on Twitter caught my attention. It was about how a movie called Minari was being nominated for Best Foreign Picture by the Hollywood Foreign Press at the Golden Globes, and a lot of people were mad about it. I did some light investigating and found out that Minari is set in America, features lots of American actors, and was written and directed by an American…

I love romantic comedies, and I am not ashamed of that. I think I would even go as far as to say that rom-coms are some of the purest forms of movies that we have. I mean, think about it. They’re about love! The greatest of human emotions. They often have a miscommunication that gets resolved in a very open and tender way (but not always)! There’s usually no violence, and a lot of time there’s a…
