Last week, my husband and I watched Your Name. It's a story about a young girl and boy who swap bodies and what happens as a result of this connection. The story is funny and moving, and you should absolutely watch it.But you know what really won me over?The animation.But there was something about the animation…

This past weekend, I watched one of my new favorite movies with my husband. It is called Whisper of the Heart. I had never seen it before, and now I am pretty much obsessed.Why? The girl in the movie was totally me growing up.She adores fairy tales and wants nothing more in life than to become a writer.…

Yes, I did it. I saw Cats. Was it horrifying?  Oh, yeah. My friend, upon finishing the film, said, "This was the best horror movie I've seen in years." But it didn't have to be that way. There were some really stunning performances. I legit cried when Jennifer Hudson sang "Memory" (despite the snot running…

I am not ashamed to admit it: I love Hallmark Christmas movies. What's not to love about a wholesome story that will make you smile? Sure, sometimes I watch them ironically, but I often watch them with genuine enjoyment.  It feels so nice to not be cynical for once. However, there is a major thing…

A few weeks ago, I saw Spider-Man: Far From Home, and I absolutely loved it.I mean, I am thinking about going back to the theater and watching it again.I rarely have this feeling about a movie.Why did I love it so much?Was it because of the awesome European locations? The juicy teen drama (something I am…

Okay, there are spoilers ahead. So click away from this email and listen to "Hooked on a Feeling." Because that song is amazing. You also might want to head on over to your local movie theater to actually see the film because despite what I am about to say here, it is actually an awesome movie.  Okay,…

My husband and I are currently watching The Umbrella Academy (so no spoilers, please), and I am loving the show. Yes, there is great character development, and it is often fun to watch superhero movies and shows (not always because Ant-Man exists . . . feel free to come at me if you disagree). But I…
