Review: Hit and Run

8 April 2014 by Jess

Review: Hit and Run

I follow Dax Shepard on Twitter, so I knew about this movie when it came out, but I never got around to seeing it. I just found it on Netflix recently, and I was in a binging mood so I watched it. I’d heard it was good, and now I get why! First of all, […]

Review: Man on a Ledge

Review: Man on a Ledge

We all know how much I love Sam Worthington, but it’s not without good reason! The man is a rock star. And even though this movie does have a few cliches in it, plot-wise, it was still a fun ride. Nick Cassidy (Worthington) has just escaped from prison, doing time for a high-profile robbery he […]

Review: For a Good Time, Call…

Review: For a Good Time, Call…

I have a feeling that because of some of the subject matter, this one flew way under the radar. So unfortunate, because it was hilarious. The press and social media and everybody and their mother, it seemed, made such a big deal over Bridesmaids and yet a movie like this hardly makes a peep. The […]

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

10 September 2013 by Jess

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: Dark Shadows

20 August 2013 by Jess

Review: Dark Shadows

Normally, this isn’t really the kind of movie I’d be up for. Another vampire movie, another Johnny Depp/Tim Burton collaboration, another period piece. Gag me with a spoon. But, the previews actually looked decent and it reminded me a bit of The Munsters, which I loved, though I never saw the original Dark Shadows series […]

Review: Rock of Ages

15 August 2013 by Jess

Review: Rock of Ages

This one went under the radar in my neck of the woods, so I didn’t see it until it came up on the HBO line-up. It looked a little silly, Tom Cruise, rock star? But it was actually a LOT of fun! I’m a major Julianne Hough fan, even though I’ve hardly seen anything she’s […]

Review: Pitch Perfect

13 August 2013 by Jess

Review: Pitch Perfect

I wasn’t sure about this movie when I first heard about it. But I always get a little hesitant about movies that have a lot of music/singing in them. There are so many things that could go wrong. Still, I end up enjoying most of them when I finally get around to seeing them, and […]

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: The Five-Year Engagement

18 July 2013 by Jess

Review: The Five-Year Engagement

This was such a sweet movie. We all know I love Jason Segel, but I’m a big Emily Blunt fan too, so this was kind of a no-brainer. The premise seems a little ridiculous, and the movie does get lost at times during the five year setting. Tom (Segel) proposes to Violet (Blunt) right at […]

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.
