I have been trying to write this blog post since July 21 and somehow none of my words seem like enough to truly convey how passionately I feel about my following statement: Tiffany Haddish is the best thing to come out of 2017 I say this while fully aware that 2017 isn’t over yet but I dare you to try… Read more →
I watched the movie, A Ghost Story, the other day and as soon as I got home all I wanted to do was discuss the film with everyone I knew. I sat down and attempted to write a review as soon as I got home; the thing is, the review kept sounding like an apology. You see, the movie stars Rooney Mara… Read more →
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 →

Well, in reality I have to categorize them as reviews because if it were up to me I would call them; “Pieces in which Julie raves… Read more →
If you’re walking into the theatre expecting to see Charlie Hunnam continue to portray a different version of Jax Teller, then I recommend that you slowly walk out of the theatre and go re-watch ‘Sons of Anarchy’ on Netflix. The main reason why I watched ‘The Lost City of Z’ was because of Mr. Hunnam and though I did become a fan of his after… Read more →
Disclaimer: This review is being written by someone who, before Life, had never seen a Sci-Fi movie. I liked it. For me, the movie felt like an intense ride full of anxiety, stress and frustration. 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 →
