  I feel like there is no way of writing this No Way Home review without having spoilers (so you’ve been warned. I did my Spider-Man watch through before heading out to see this one and I found Spider-Man becoming my favorite superhero over the course of all the movies.…

  “If you're reading this, you've gotten out. And if you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further”

  The Shawshank Redemption has been on my watchlist probably since I started my Letterboxd a couple of years ago. I was really excited going into this film and I’m so happy it didn’t let me down. I…

  “You break the rules and become a hero. I do it and I become the enemy. That doesn't seem fair”

  After Spider-Man: No Way Home and everything that movie did to set up the multiverse in the MCU, I would have loved to walk out of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness in the same way. Unfortunately, that did not happen and…

  Watching The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent has easily been the most fun I had with any new releases this year. This movie is very aware that it’s over the top, and sometimes that works and other times it doesn’t. What does work is the friendship between Nicholas Cage and Pedro Pascal’s character (who honestly stole the show), it…

  “You wasted your time...you wasted your time following me. You let that happen”

  This is a movie that my love for has grown the more I’ve watched it. Denis Villeneuve and Roger Deakins craft this perfectly beautiful but gritty film. This story is fantastic as it all intertwined together to build out all these characters and different suspects that keep us guessing…
