    “Dune” Movie Review

    “Dune” Movie Review

    First of all, Dune already is a major motion picture, I will not condone disrespect towards David Lynch’s 1984 disasterpiece. But BOY OH BOY do I have thoughts. Dune: Part One Directed by: Denis Villeneuve Screenplay by: Jon Spaihts, Denis Villeneuve, and Eric Roth Starring: Timothée Chalamet, Rebbeca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa “Paul Atreides, […]

    Audiobook Opinions

    Audiobook Opinions

    I was anti-audiobook for a long time. I just assumed I wouldn’t be a fan of them. That was a bold assumption for someone who had yet to actually listen to an audiobook. My mom became a fan of them so I thought, “why not?” The first series I listened to was Six of Crows […]

    Love Always, Charlie

    Love Always, Charlie

    Life is riddled with mistakes, trials, joys, and fears. Yet we grow comfortable in suppressing the most humane parts of our lives—the moments when we fall and break down. I believe we would all be more comfortable if we didn’t feel the need to stifle them. I am sharing with the world one of the […]

    How “Moulin Rouge: The Musical” Has Given Me an Existential Crisis

    How “Moulin Rouge: The Musical” Has Given Me an Existential Crisis

    Picture this: it’s 2018 and the musical adaptation of Moulin Rouge is opening in Boston. As a lover of the film and a musical theatre dork this was a dream come true – not that I would see it in Boston of course. I followed the show’s progress constantly, its Broadway transfer in 2019 was […]

    LA Adventures: New Beverly Cinema

    LA Adventures: New Beverly Cinema

    When you have enough money and resources, you can open your own movie theatre and show whatever you want, whenever you want. “Who would do that?” you might ask. Well, that’s exactly what Quentin Tarantino did. Tarantino’s theater — New Beverly Cinema — sits at the intersection of Beverly Blvd. and N. La Brea Ave. […]

    “Little Women” Reinvented

    “Little Women” Reinvented

    Little Women, what can I really say about this film. It was spectacular and Greta Gerwig’s visionary ability is astonishing (no matter what The Academy has to say). Her biggest choice was interweaving timelines and choosing to tell the story in a bit more of a nonlinear fashion and I found it absolutely brilliant. It […]

    A Beginner’s Guide to Hopeless Romanticism

    A Beginner’s Guide to Hopeless Romanticism

    The concept of being a hopeless romantic seems to get lost in high school. I for one, am capable of exuding disgusting amounts of hopeless romanticism. The Dictionary defines a hopeless romantic as “a person who holds sentimental and idealistic views on love, especially in spite of experience, evidence, or exhortations otherwise.” Is it so […]
