My pick for this week is a bit polarizing. Don’t Look Up has gotten just as much praise as pushback since its release last month. From how governments and the media are portrayed to how a large portion of the population is apathetic towards an imminent disaster, people either seem to love it or hate it. **Warning, mild spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t watched the movie yet…
Happy New Year! After a bit of time off during Christmas and New Years, I’m back with another movie this week, Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb. This Netflix documentary is fascinating.

Oh Thanksgiving. It’s one of my favorite holidays; the great food, gathering with family, the parade, the inevitable drama or meltdown. For this week I thought I’d watch a Thanksgiving centric film, and after a quick Google search, I found What’s Cooking? (2000). I’d never heard of this move before, but it has a great cast, including Kyra Sedgwick, Lanie Kazan, Julianna Margulies, and Alfre…
