I’m doing something a bit different this week. Instead of writing about a movie, I decided to pick a show that I recently watched: Over the Garden Wall. It’s a limited series of ten episodes around eleven minutes each, so you can watch the whole thing in about two hours. **Warning, mild spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t watched the series yet, what are you doing?** Half…
My pick for this week, Stranger Than Fiction, comes as a recommendation from a writing workshop I’m currently taking. This film is a great mashup of characters, genres, and overplayed writing tropes all wrapped up in a fantastical premise. It also answers the question: what would happen when a character meets their author? **Warning, mild spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t watched the movie yet, what are you…
It’s raining here in New York and has put me in the mood for a rom-com. My pick this week is probably one of my favorites of all time, My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

It’s been a so-so week for me, so I needed a bit of whimsy and this movie delivered. **Warning, mild spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t watched the movie yet, what are you doing?** Bella Brown (Jessica Brown Findlay), an aspiring writer with OCD, has what many would call…
I’ve been wanting to see my pick for this week for a while, since pre-pandemic, and I finally got the chance. Guy Richie’s newest movie The Gentlemen, like many of his previous work, is a wild ride from start to finish. You never know where the story is going and are left guessing until all the pieces are put together. **Warning, mild spoilers ahead, so if you…
