The Suicide Squad is a Blockbuster Misfire😥

August 16, 2021August 25, 2021 Courtney Young2 Comments

The Suicide Squad. What a joke. This charmless franchise redo is as unfunny as it is tedious to watch...not even Harley Quinn can save this hot mess. 😢

Zola Doesn’t Live Up to Twitter Thread

August 10, 2021August 16, 2021 Courtney Young1 Comment

When small, indie-focused distributor A24 attaches itself to a movie, my interest is always heightened. But, I may be here to tell you that this is the first misfire movie from the distributor leaving me wanting more than what I received. 😕

If the 2010s were about being your own GirlBoss, then this decade is dedicated to the anti-GirlBoss introduced by newcomer Rachel Sennott. 🖤

Top 10 Movies of 2020

April 25, 2021April 25, 2021 Courtney Young4 Comments

The most glamorous, albeit yearly controversial,  Academy Awards are upon us. The best part of the Oscar nominations? INCLUSION. For the first time in a long time (or maybe ever), the majority of nominees are new faces. What a concept, right?

Judas and the Black Messiah is Seriously Lacking

February 14, 2021 Courtney Young8 Comments

For a narrative so crucially important and timely to American history then and now, I expected to be blown away by the rise and ultimate demise of Fred Hampton, the Chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party. What I got wasn't that, and I'm left wondering how could they miss the mark for this one?

Pieces of a Woman Broke Me

January 9, 2021 Courtney Young5 Comments

Gut-wrenching, anxiety inducing, emotional are a few words to describe Pieces of a Woman, which is now streaming on Netflix. Going into a movie blind is always a wild ride, but I was nowhere near prepared for the much hyped first 30 minutes, also known as the most stressful minutes of my life.

“Sound of Metal” May Save 2020

December 23, 2020December 23, 2020 Courtney Young6 Comments

"Masterpiece" and "Unforgettable" are two words rightfully being chosen to describe Sound of Metal. In an unprecedented year of cinematic uncertainty, Sound of Metal has restored my faith in 2020 cinema.

Tenet is Next Level Cinema

September 1, 2020September 1, 2020 Courtney Young14 Comments

If director Christopher Nolan is from this century, you could have fooled me. Maybe I should write this review backward, sideways, non-linear, because his latest work Tenet is cinematically not of this world, or of modern comprehension.

Palm Springs 2020 Movie

With the monotony and solitude of life in quarantine, what better way to spend your time than getting sucked in the time loop rom-com Palm Springs?
