I am an emotional person; my tears are constantly on stand-by, ready to take flight if the wind blows too hard. I wasn’t always like this though, I used to be a rock of a human; I used to take pride in my lack of feeling. Then therapy happened and breakthroughs happened and suddenly I am feeling everything, all at… Read more →
I often feel the need to post a disclaimer before every “movie review” I post. Disclaimer: I am not a movie critic, I am purely a fan of movies. Okja, a film by Director Bong Joon-ho, is currently streaming on Netflix and I spent the better part of my Friday night watching it and feeling a lot. I will actively try… Read more →
I saw Wonder Woman the week that it was released and now I will only refer to time as “Before I saw Wonder Woman” and “After I saw Wonder Woman”. You see, the after is so much sweeter; the after had me ready for combat and anyone who knows me knows that I AM NOT PREPARED FOR COMBAT. The after… Read more →

Though some bits were fairly predictable, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Rebecca Ferguson balanced a strong confident woman with the vulnerability that was needed in certain… Read more →
I need to just start this off by saying … I have never seen the original Ghostbusters movie. Wait, put the pitchforks down! It’s not my fault, I was raised in a Hispanic household where we got our life lessons from Novelas, Cristina and Don Francisco. So I went to go see the Ghostbusters reboot purely because it was a comedy with… Read more →
Grab your tissues, bring your girlfriends and get ready for the feels. Me Before You is the kind of romantic film I have been waiting for and yet I was not at all prepared for. The movie is based off of Jojo Moyes’ bestselling novel but having not read the novel I cannot attest to how true the… Read more →
Give the man an Oscar! Leonardo DiCaprio has truly outdone himself with his newest movie. In “The Revenant” Leonardo DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, an explorer in the 1800’s who went on a journey in the western wilderness for revenge against another explorer. I’ll be honest the movie is a little long and by “a little” I mean my butt started… Read more →
