Thoughts on My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)
I didn’t know what to expect going into seeing this movie. I honestly can’t remember much about the first movie – except for the standout jokes and puns (like Windex for example) and John Corbett eye candy (had a crush since Chris Stevens, so sue me) – I probably wouldn’t have seen this (or that awful Sex and the City sequel either) if he wasn’t in it. I’m happy to say it topped SATC2 … a lot!

Thoughts on Nerve (2016)
DON’T WATCH THE TRAILER! DON’T! It’ll ruin the whole movie for you – literally!

Flashback Friday: Now and Then (1995)
One of my childhood favourites Now and Then follows the story of four girls who made a pact years ago to be there for each other for the important stuff no matter what. The story opens with Chrissy (Rita Wilson) heavily pregnant with her first child and due to go into labour any day. If you think that is scary enough, check out her pregnancy look. Yowsers, the floral dress and hair, oh my.
My Favourite Five: Drew Barrymore Movies
With so many funny and sweet movies to choose from it was hard to narrow this list down to just five. I decided the only way I could trim the list would be to exclude the movies she did as a child actor. Sorry ET and Fire Starter fans but they won’t be in this list. Here are five of my favourite Drew Barrymore movies. I could easily have listed more.
Thoughts on Suicide Squad (2016)
There had been a lot of hype leading up to the release of Suicide Squad – but does it live up to exceptions?

My Favourite Five: Jessica Chastain Roles
I’m one of the many people who confuse Jessica Chastain with Bryce Dallas-Howard. Now that I know who she is and have seen more of her movies I can see the differences a little more and am definitely a Chastain fan. Here are five roles I think she shines in:

Thoughts on Spy (2015)
I know some of you are probably thinking “Ugh a Melissa McCarthy movie, great” and rolling your eyes. Let’s face it, you either like her movies or you don’t. She tends to take jokes a bit too far (and into really bizarre and crude places) but, overall, I enjoy her movies. Even if she does get a little type cast in stereotypical roles.
When I saw the trailer for Spy I was interested in seeing it but also a little indifferent. If you go by the trailer alone it seems over the top, completely ridiculous and stereotypical. And it is. But it works. And there’s so much more to it than just the trailer.
Flashback Friday: Deceived (1991)
Like most people, when I think ‘Goldie Hawn movie’ I think Comedy. So I was surprised to find she had released a thriller and curious to see just how much range her talent had. While some movies from the 90s are hit and miss with keeping my attention, I must say, Deceived did extremely well. While some aspects were fairly predictable it was still well shot and put together, with just the right amount of suspense mixed into it.
The only criticism of Goldie I have (and really, it’s very minor) is that at times her gasps and screams are a bit over the top. But, aside from that, she portrays a compelling and strong character who carries the story effortlessly forward no matter what she discovers along the way. But I am getting ahead of myself, let’s back up to the beginning. Continue reading “Flashback Friday: Deceived (1991)”
