‘The Banana Splits Movie’ in Just Under a Minute

My review for this is inexplicably one of my most-viewed posts, so I made an Instagram reel for it.

Time Test: ‘Cloverfield’

Every so often I think of a movie I saw once, years ago, and I wonder if my perception of it would change over time. Because I’ve grown as a person and all. I’m ever so evolved and mature, you see. I saw Cloverfield in the theatre in 2008 and haven’t seen it since, andContinue reading “Time Test: ‘Cloverfield’”

‘Alice, Darling’ is Indeed a Horror Movie

*Content warning: The film depicts an emotionally abusive relationship. While I like to keep my reviews lighthearted, I am in no way trivializing the subject. Alice (Anna Kendrick) is saddled with an emotionally abusive boyfriend, Simon (Charlie Carrick), who controls every aspect of her life. When she lies to him in order to get awayContinue reading “‘Alice, Darling’ is Indeed a Horror Movie”

Beware of the Blob! (review)

It’s been four years, but I made a YouTube video.

Harper (Jessie Buckley) is a woman recovering from the shock of seeing her husband James (Paapa Essiedu) fall off the roof of their flat, maybe or maybe not on purpose.
