Jurassic World Rebirth is even worse the second time around. God awful green screen, the family sub plot still is unnecessary and boring. How did this make so much $$?!??! #Jurassicworldrebirth

Just had my first MIFF BIFF! patron kept kicking my chair , and then started with the headrest. Asked her to stop 4 times, then literally yell whispered at her and left the screening as it was at capacity. This is why people don’t go to the movies!

A Nice Indian Boy stands out as something genuinely special. It’s a film full of joy, identity, awkwardness, dancing, vulnerability, and big, brave love. More than just a great queer love story, it’s a great love story, period. Read my review below.

#Superman I’m speechless.
The comic is back in comic book movies. Superman no longer feels like a “legacy” franchise , weighed down by its past. James Gunn creates a path forward for Supes in spectacular fashion. Brilliant performances, incredible action and heart make this the best Superman yet!

This weekend summed up, my parting message to my bestie of 25 years “I really feel like I’ve lost myself at the moment and your timing was perfect to remind me that I can be fun and funny and silly and I really miss that part of me.”

The show “Mom” has been incredibly confronting and healing. It blows my mind that this is a sitcom! Thank you Chuck Lorre, Allison Janney and Anna Faris for creating one of the greatest TV sitcoms of all time.
