Some kids are able to relate to the Day of the Dead tradition based on the shows they watch and the lessons they learn in their Spanish classes. In 2014, “The Book of Life” animated that tradition, and that was… Read More ›

The Man Who Invented Christmas
Unlike most of the Christmas movies I’ve been getting lately like “A Bad Moms Christmas,” “Love the Coopers,” and “Almost Christmas,” “The Man Who Invented Christmas” is absolute fun. It’s practically a goofy take on how Charles Dickens wrote the… Read More ›
Wonder
With an uplifting story about a little boy with a deformed face struggling to fit in, it’s no wonder why people should see “Wonder.” It’s a nice movie filled with nice people. Not everyone is nice, but still. Based on… Read More ›
Call Me By Your Name
When I reviewed director Luca Guadagnino’s “A Bigger Splash” on my old website last year, I said it would be a great movie to watch with Italian cooking. Especially since in San Francisco, there is an Italian restaurant that plays… Read More ›
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

The Killing of a Sacred Deer
There’s an Autistic approach in “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” that I find most intriguing. Being a young man with Autism, it’s easy for me to determine that based on the dialogue and the behavior of the characters. Colin… Read More ›
Thank You For Your Service
Just last week, Miles Teller starred in the heroic drama “Only the Brave,” which apparently didn’t perform well at the box office. It was beaten by crappy films like “Boo 2! A Madea Halloween” and “Geostorm,” both of which I’ve… Read More ›
