We do not own any of the images and we do not claim any right on them.   Okay, there's no denying that I am a bit obsessed with Katie Holmes right, let's get this out there. I mean c'mon, she is the Rachel from Batman Begins. I would watch the movie just to catch up with Katie to be honest, but still, let's just get past the fanboy stuff and actually talk about her acting in this one. Starring Katie Holmes, who we all adore, and Josh Lucas, well, Josh Lucas and directed by Andy Tennant, which most of you will know for Fool's Gold (2008) or maybe from Hitch (2005) which was a way better title but also was trapped in views front. In any case, we're here to talk about his latest (Well, it's been a year but I just got a chance to watch it so, yeah) work The Secret: Dare To Dream, so let's do that, let's talk the secret.   First of all, it's really easy to see Katie Holmes ...

 Starring Austin Abrams and Lili Reinhart, Chemical Hearts is not just a movie about love. Henry, our eyes and ears, is a high school senior with an ability for writing. He is the kind of person who needs to write what he feels to know what he feels. When Henry's senior year starts, he has nothing in mind but becoming the editor of school newspaper. On his interview, he meets Grace, the transfer student, also a senior, and also has a magical touch for writing. When their teacher offer the position to both of them together, Henry wants to know Grace a bit more. So, with a basic "hey" from Henry, our poetic romance begins. Henry falls for her, but she has much more in her plate than he knows. Chemical Hearts gives us a new perspective for love and loss.The movie is based on the book "Our Chemical Hearts" by Krystal Sutherland. The screenplay was written by the director himself, Richard Tanne.  With it's 93 minutes runtime, Chemical Heart is not a minute longe...

 There's a pool in the poster, yay!                                                                                    image by Netflix 2020  Despite it's pretty bold title, considering the title itself will most likely cut the revenue, The F**ck It List offers rather a classic story. In this review, I'm gonna try to point every single pro for the movie, since I will list a lot of cons for it. Let's get right into it! The movie evolves arround our Brett Blackmore (Eli Brown). Brett is a high school student, a very succesful one as well. He's basically at the top of every academic test. In fact, he gets a 7 out of 8 acceptance letters from the Ivies, with being wait-listed for Harvard. Of course, his parents throw a party for him, a...

 Worth A Mention As A Mood Booster                                image by Netflix 2020 New on Netflix, Holidate is a title we're used to. The movie follows 2 misfits, Sloane and Jackson, on their 'holidate' journey, whatever that means I am still not sure. It's something like a friends with benefits type of thing, without benefits, and we can't really call them friends. They basically agree to be each other's dates on every holiday, so they don't have to worry about picking a date, acting normal, you know.. all the dating stuff. First of all, this is the first Emma Roberts performance I really enjoyed since "It's Kind Of A Funny Story", which was also a great movie by the way. Anyways, Roberts (as Sloane) is a grown woman roaming arround in her pyjamas and Jackson, well we don't know much about Jackson. So uhm, the 2 misfit meets at a mall, both trying to return their presents for money. Then, they ge...

  The Whole World Is Watching!                                                                                                            image by Amazon.com, lnc. As I was checking if I have indeed watched the entire Netfix archive for romantic comedies (so I can write some more bad reviews) I decided to do myself a favour and watch something worthy. So, the trial was ahead. Before getting into the full review, I would like to note that, well, I loved it! The Trial Of The Chicago 7 covers the events that got out of hand at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, United States. This is not a history class, so I will just say, it got wild friends. This conv...

  Happiest Season Premiere Details  image by CTMG, Inc  So you've also,probably heard about the upcoming "Happiest Season" starring Mackanzie Davis (Blade Runner) and Kristen Stewart (Twilight). The movie also have some other giant names in the cast as well. Dan Levy, Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, and others. This post is to give some further information about the movie.   The upcoming Happiest Season will premier on December 25th, in the holiday season, and on Hulu only.  Today, after Hulu's announcements, that got confirmed once again.  So, one thing, for me, is for sure, the movie will be extreme. Either extremely good, or the other way arround. That is, of course based on no solid lead, except for my bias about the director Duvall. You see, my adventure with her was always on edge. She is, indeed a great actress, but I can't be so sure about her director performance. In the end,  I loved her on "Ten Inch Hero" ( as Jen, 2007 romantic comedy) as an act...

It's Like A Lot Of Things You've Seen Before                                                                             image by Amazon.com, lnc. A safe option for all movie makers for sure; shooting a low budget cliche, and just letting the people watch it for what it reminds. "Airplane Mode " is using exactly that option. It uses a popular topic, and put it in a concept that has been tried possibly hundreds of times. Put the selfish one in a farm middle of nowhere, lets see if the monster stay as a monster, or become a newborn angel. Now, let's see how did it go. The movie is about Ana, an influencer on a social media platform. She is just a selfish rich kid, using the infinite loophole of social media to make some money. But also, she's more of an addict, ...

The Title Is Like A Summary, Nice                                                                                      image by Amazon.com, lnc. With it's long, and pretty clear title, " Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" is a Netflix original about a duo called Fire Saga. And as you can imagine, they are trying out for the Eurovision. Well, all I wrote in this first paragraph is actually clear as day in the title, but every review needs a beginning so.. just bear with me. The Fire Saga members, Lars and Sigrit are life long best friends. Lars is a guy obsessed with the Eurovision since he heard Abba singing on the contest when he was a kid. His father is not a fan of his music career, long story short. So he's prett...

A Successful Adaptation For Sure                                                                                      image by Amazon.com, lnc. Based on the book with the same title, "All The Bright Places" is a teen drama that goes real hard on the viewer. It has the potential to make a grown, 20 year old, male viewer cry. So general viewer, just be prepared, onions are on the loose. Starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith, this teen drama doesn't include anything teen-y really. Our heroes, Violet and Finch are just two kid with grown up problems. Movie starts with Violet, standing on the ledge of a bridge, of the bridge actually. Just as she is thinking about jumping, Theodore (Finch, he calls himself) talks her out of it. That's th...

Dedicated Review For Mothers                                                                                    image by Amazon.com, lnc. Being a mother is one of the most beautiful things one can be, I suppose. "18 Presents" is a movie that  tries to make you understand what it's like to sacrifice so much for your baby. Also, it tries to make you realize how hard it is to grow up without a mother by your side. But in the mean time, it clear as day, doesn't achieve neither of these goals. The movie follows Elisa at first. A woman with a lovely house, steady paycheck, and a handsome husband, she's also pregnant as well. Love is in the air, seems like nothing is gonna tear them apart, but something does. One day, Elisa, our mother-to-be,...

A Successful Display Of Love                                                                                        image by Amazon.com, lnc. Wow, it has been ages since the last time I saw a teen rom-com that doesn't include a princess image. Therefore, even before starting the review, I must say, I was impressed about a lot of things in this movie. Sit back and relax people, after a long thread of disappointment, this will be a positive review! "The Half Of It" follows a smart, caring, but in need of money teen Ellie Chu. Ellie is a girl, but a grown up mind. She's no princess, and she is not intending to be, or acting to be. Which makes her role much more realistic and close to heart than most of the teen romance characters in o...

Hard To See Why It Exists                                                                                                                    image by Amazon.com, lnc. Netflix's 2020 surprise "365 DNI" is a romance... a very physical romance. It's actually pretty hard to write a full review on this one, so I will try keep it short and simple for the ones considering to give it a try. The movie is about a guy abducting a woman he likes, putting her in a house, and making her fall in love with him. What's the problem? Well, this is gonna be a long list. Sit tight. First of all,the plot is terrible. There literally is no story to grow, the abduc...

Nothing Special, Nothing Fun                                                                                           image by Amazon.com, lnc. "The Wrong Missy" is a cheesy comedy, just like the ones before it. The new Netflix wanna-be comedy doesn't offer you much after the trailer, except for the same old story, first date gone wild type of romantic comedy. But is it worth a watch? First of all, I must mention right away that I just can't like the plot tricks so many comedies (first of all the Sandler ones) tried, and failed every time. Adding supernatural events, meaningless side characters and dialogues that make no sense whatsoever,just to make the comedy more goofy. It indeed is a safe option, but just d...
