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…
It’s coming up on Christmas and the winter holiday break for many people. For my pic this week, I wanted a bit of holiday comedy. Office Christmas Party was the first that came to mind.

I’d never heard of this move before, but it has a great cast, including Kyra Sedgwick, Lanie Kazan, Julianna Margulies, and Alfre…
For the first in my “Movie Monday” series, I decided to go along with the spooky season. Halloween is next weekend, so my pick this week is the iconic ‘90s slasher film Scream. I’m not the biggest gorey horror movie fan, too much blood makes me a bit squeamish, but what I do really love is ‘whodunit’ style films.
