How can you not get sucked into the charm and whimsy of 'You've Got Mail?' Like Kathleen Kelly's bookshop and the coffee shops these "nemesis" frequent, this film is completely warm and comfortable.

You Hurt My Feelings spoke to my creative soul. Director/writer Nicole Holofcener brilliantly and comically explores the themes of love and support when it comes to balancing personal and professional aspirations.

Past Lives is one of the most realistic portrayals of divided love that you'll see.

From the moment that this movie opens up with the closeups of the various dancing feet, I was automatically charmed by this '80s classic.

What a gut punch Quo Vadis, Aida? is. I had no prior knowledge about the Bosnia War of 1995 or the Srebrenica Massacre that this film depicts. This is unlike any war film that I had seen before.

Silver Linings Playbook is an infectious film. It's full of energy that grabs you and pulls you into this intense family dynamic whether you like it or not.

The Holdovers is patient, but not slow. It's funny but doesn't go for the easy gag. It's heartbreaking, but not overly sentimental.

Self Reliance is flat-out entertaining. It has been a while since I have watched a film that creates an ideal balance of not having to think too much and keeping you guessing along the way.

Insanity. That's the word that kept popping into my head while watching NYAD.

It's hard to rip into this movie too hard because there is so much '80s cheesiness to love about it.

There’s a fine line between complacency and passion, and Chaperone is a film that captures the confusion of early adulthood perfectly.

How is it possible that a movie gets better and better each time I watch it when it is so purposely repeatable in its premise?

I loved Knocked Up when it was initially released and I had always held it as one of my favorites of Apatow, but I was surprised by my reaction this time around.

Though I was entertained by this version of Mean Girls, there was an overall flatness.

What I enjoyed most about Maestro is that you feel every bit of passion from Cooper's performance, camera movements and style.

An amazing ensemble of actors can elevate a film's material and that is what this group does for The Best Man.

The Color Purple is filled with amazing performances, breathtaking shots and wonderful music, but there is something just a little off-kilter that keeps it from being one of the best modern musicals.

I prefer the darker side of Roald Dahl's creation, but if you can erase any prior knowledge of the story, you'll find Wonka funny, enjoyable and sometimes magical.

I haven't ever watched Euphoria, but if this is what kids are into these days, I want nothing of it. Saltburn has to be one of the most divisive and perverse movies to come out of 2023.

The action scenes in Get Smart are way better than they needed to be and the jokes are right down my lane.
