Is 1917 Movie the best movie of 2019?

The hard-hitting, nerve-killing technical achievement that is 1917 is now in theaters, and it offers a look at the trench warfare from WWI in an all too realistic ride. Make sure to pack your anti-anxiety medication for this one, because 1917 will have you white- knuckling, teeth grinding for 110 solid minutes.

If I can find someone who looks at me the way Laurie looks at the March girls in Little Women, I will die a lucky girl. Get your Kleenex ready, Little Women is back.

October 18, 2019October 18, 2019 Courtney Young6 Comments

If you want to see the best movie of 2019, look no further. Jojo Rabbit is officially on my Oscar watch-list. And, yes. It's possible to make a good comedy about Hitler.

I saw Joker last weekend, and I still feel uncomfortable. Does anyone know where I can find Joaquin Phoenix? I'd like to deliver his Oscar personally.

There's a grey area when it comes to life and death, so how do you cope with the emotions when you know the latter is fast approaching?

Rocketman is Delectable Garbage

June 11, 2019July 3, 2019 Courtney Young12 Comments

For someone like Elton John, one of the most famous musical artists in the world, with over 300 million albums sold, you would have thought the writers of Rocketman would have put a little more effort into drafting a decent script.
