I love the movie Hitch, which stars Will Smith, Eva Mendes, and Kevin James because it is current, funny, and charming on various levels. There may be a hundred films about dating, especially dating in New York City, yet this one stands above and beyond the rest. The chemistry is instant as Smith, and James’ … More Hitch (2005)
At first glance, like most people, you probably thought a romantic comedy starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver would be a bomb. Let me tell you that Return to Me, written and directed by Bonnie Hunt, is one of the sweetest movies I’ve ever fallen in love with. Driver plays a young woman named Grace, … More Return to Me (2000)
Whenever I sit down to watch Running Scared today, I think back to the day my grandmother introduced me to this film.

It brought a great deal of sadness when going through my movie collection to find out that I have never reviewed Prom, one of my favourite movies. Now, this wouldn’t fall into the top 10; however, I could definitely find a spot for it in the top 25. I enjoyed this Disney movie so much … More Prom (2011)
Somewhere in my closet is a portfolio of artwork from high school. Also tucked away inside, there is a project on Titanic that I did for drama class. It makes me chuckle that I did the project since I never stood in line to see this epic film during its initial theatre run. However, I … More Titanic (1997)
Feel the Beat is leaps and bounds one of the best Netflix original movies to date. I’m not even speaking such high praise because I enjoy watching Sofia Carson movies; it’s just a great story. This tale about a ragtag team of cheerleaders competing for a National Championship is cute, charming, and hilarious. The story … More Feel the Beat (2020)
For the rest of my life, I will never ever be able to live down the night I recommended Wicker Park as my movie pick. I’ve always loved this movie, which stars Josh Hartnett, Diane Kruger, Rose Byrne, and Matthew Lillard.
