    Babygirl Review

    From the opening few minutes, Babygirl shows you that this movie is going to take you to places that might be uncomfortable for some people. Nicole Kidman’s character, Romy, is a high-powered CEO who, while seeming to have a perfect life, is missing something. Babygirl shows us how dynamics in relationships can lead to either…

    Documentaries are one genre of movie that I love to see due to the education you get from watching them.

    Moana 2 Review

    When we last saw Moana she was riding the ocean with her family trying to find new islands to discover. Moana, when it first came out, drew me in. I loved this movie and everything that it stood for: Finding yourself, standing up to societal norms, and making new ways for yourself. It was the…
