Waitress: The Musical serves up heart, humor and a whole lot of Sara Bareilles soul. I didn’t walk away humming the songs—but I did walk away smiling.

You’re Cordially Invited might actually be the plus-one you didn’t know you needed.

Waitress is a bittersweet slice of southern indie pie—equal parts charming, quirky and quietly heartbreaking.

The Substance demands—and seizes—your full attention, gripping you with its grotesque, shocking and undeniably unforgettable imagery.

Rewatched Waiting for Guffman and it’s still a hilarious, heartfelt classic. Christopher Guest’s small-town mockumentary magic never misses.

Emilia Pérez has an undeniably intriguing premise but manages to fumble nearly everything that could have made it great.

Conclave is my kind of movie: performance-driven, steeped in dialogue and cloaked in political and spiritual intrigue.

Nosferatu is a gorgeous, atmospheric and deeply unsettling film that will stick with you long after the credits roll. But much like the count himself, it lingers a little too long in the dark.

Rewatched Definitely, Maybe and it still feels like a heartfelt mystery-rom-com hybrid. Less comedy, more sincerity—but I loved the cast and the "How I Met Your Mother"-style structure.

If you’re into claustrophobic thrillers with a dash of wit and don’t mind a few over-the-top moments, Carry-On is worth the trip.

It Ends with Us was exactly what I thought it would be—but just a little better. Think: elevated melodrama with a glossy sheen

Sometimes you go into a movie with zero expectations—and walk out… pleasantly surprised? That was the case with Mufasa: The Lion King.

The Family Stone ends up being one of those movies I respect for its intent, but don’t quite understand its lasting holiday glow.

If you like your action movies laced with a little social commentary and a whole lot of Southern grit, Rebel Ridge is absolutely worth your time.

I was surprised by how much Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary had to say about the genre. Like… was there really enough substance here to warrant a full-length film? Turns out—absolutely.

There’s nothing particularly groundbreaking here, but Nutcrackers leans into its well-worn tropes with enough heart and humor to make for a cozy family movie night.

Some movies leave a mark on you, while others… fade away like sand through a ghostly hourglass. Sadly, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice falls firmly into the latter category.

Wicked is a rare gem among movie musicals. It’s a feast for the eyes, a balm for the soul and a triumph of storytelling.

Sometimes, a holiday movie sneaks up on you, and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever did just that for me. It’s easily one of my favorite Christmas films to come along in years.

Moana 2 is a sequel that doesn’t rock the boat too much but delivers a vibrant and enjoyable adventure that feels like a welcome return to the big screen.
