My Compliments to the Chef: Favreau’s New Film Cooked to Order

My Compliments to the Chef: Favreau’s New Film Cooked to Order

Honestly, this was the most fun I’ve had at the movies this year. I am saying this even after I wrote two reviews on Captain America, not because it was better, but because I had a smile on my face almost the entire way through. I loved Cap 2 and totally nerded out the entire […]

Review: Bad Words

25 March 2014 by Jess

Review: Bad Words

I haven’t covered him much on the blog, but I’ve been a big fan of Jason Bateman for a very long time – even before I got hooked on Arrested Development. He’s adorable and wickedly funny, but this, his feature film directorial debut, was prime comedy brilliance. The plot The story centers on Bateman’s character, […]

Review: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Review: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Weird title, indie movie, you may not have even heard of it, or if you did, you thought it sounded ridiculous and didn’t even bother checking into it. I don’t blame you. Well, that’s not true. I sort of do. If you didn’t even look far enough to find out that it starred two of […]

Review: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

Review: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

Leave it to Steve Carrell to make me fall in love with movies all over again. I was so surprised by my reaction to this movie – I knew it would be good (Keira Knightley doesn’t make bad movies) but I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. The movie centers on […]

Review: Save the Date

Review: Save the Date

Is it just me, or did no one hear about this movie? Since I’m not in a major release metropolis (San Francisco, New York, Chicago, LA, etc.), I miss a good number of indie movies because they don’t come to theaters here in Denver, or, they’re only there for a week or they only play […]

Review: Fruitvale Station

31 July 2013 by Jess

Review: Fruitvale Station

Indie movies. Some of them are done to perfection, and some of them fail and should remain out of the spotlight forever. This one was the former. Another movie based on a true story, this one told that story in wonderful detail, and raised all the right questions. I almost didn’t get to see this […]

Review: Wanderlust

25 July 2013 by Jess

Review: Wanderlust

I had really wanted to see this when it came out, so I was thrilled when I found it on HBO. It was a joy to see Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd together again, and not in a relationship that can never happen (see 1998: The Object of My Affection). The movie begins with the […]

Review: Last Night

15 February 2013 by Jess

Review: Last Night

I’ll tell you straight off, I would see anything Sam Worthington is in. Period. The guy is genius, good-looking, has an accent, and I think has the breadth to tackle any role. The same can be said for Keira Knightley, though I’m not as devoted a fan of hers as I am of Worthington’s. He’s […]

Review: I Love You Phillip Morris

28 January 2013 by Jess

Review: I Love You Phillip Morris

I’m always up for Ewan McGregor, but this was kind of a strange film. Jim Carrey leveled out of his wild antics is one thing, but him and Ewan McGregor playing gay men who fall in love while in prison? And it’s based on a true story? I was pleasantly surprised. Their relationship is actually […]

Review: The Amateurs

24 January 2013 by Jess

Review: The Amateurs

I was a little wary when I first read what this movie was supposed to be about, but who can say no to the Dude? Jeff Bridges is a loser who’s spent his life trying and failing at a dozen different enterprises. He finally hits on a million dollar idea–he’ll make a porno. Partnering up […]

About the Blog

This is a place to share my love and excessive fandom of film, actors, and television. I gush a lot, and I complain a lot, usually not simultaneously.

I share recaps and my take on the latest television episodes, any movies I've seen recently, and a little promotion here and there for shows or films that I feel deserve a little more attention than they're getting.

So, kick back, settle in, switch on, tune in, or whatever you have to do and join in on the love for all things that move on-screen.
