(500) Days of Summer
(500) Days of Summer perfectly encapsulates how twenty-somethings view and contextualize romance.
Somebody I Used to Know
I didn't know Alison Brie could be unlikable, but her character in Somebody I Used to Know is someone that you never root for.
You People
I didn't mind You People as a concept. There are some funny moments and one-liners, but the problem is that if you want to be a rom-com, there has to be romantic chemistry between the leads.
The Woman King
The Woman King feels like a throwback epic action film that reminded me of Gladiator or Braveheart with, well, more women.
The Redeem Team
I remember the narrative surrounding The Redeem Team and how much pressure was put on this team's shoulders and I enjoyed getting more of an inside look into the psyche of the players and coaches.
Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss
Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss ultimately becomes a slog, which is unfortunate, because I think it's a story that needed to be told.
She’s the Man
I have to hand it to She's the Man. The movie commits. I feel as if the cast and crew knew how ridiculous the premise and plot of this movie was and they knew their best defense was to go full throttle.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Everyone has gone through a devastating break-up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall perfectly encapsulates the feelings of jealousy, confusion and acceptance that come with such a monumental event.
The Outfit
If you are drawn to stories that take place in one setting and are full of twists and turns, you will love The Outfit.
Argentina, 1985
I can clearly see how Argentina, 1985 can be more impactful the more you know or lived through the political unrest that this film explores. If you love courtroom dramas, you'll eat this film up.
27 Dresses
27 Dresses is by no means the greatest movie ever or even the greatest rom-com for that matter, but it's a pure, simple, enjoyable watch.
Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Crazy, Stupid, Love. is a wonderful film to wrap around yourself. It's deeper and more complex than most rom-coms that you come across.
White Noise
White Noise feels like a mixture of an '80s adventure romp, a David Lynch fever dream with the aesthetics and color scheme of a Wes Anderson offbeat journey.
Never Been Kissed
I hadn't seen Never Been Kissed since high school and I think I should have left it at that.
The Princess Bride
I'm pretty sure that I'll never grow tired of watching this film. The story itself is timeless, but now watching this as an adult, I appreciated it on a whole new level.
