Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) Starring: Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal Directed by: Patty Jenkins Rating: PG-13 for sequences of action and violence A Long-Awaited Sequel . . . I Think I don’t watch movies from the DC Universe. I am an MCU fan all the way, and I have no qualms about “missing out” on the DC franchise. […]
Oscars for the Loss I’ve have heard so much hub-bub about the 2021 Oscars. I decided I would take a peek through the winners and I have no idea where any of those movies came from with the exception of Tenet, Soul, and Onward.

Interstellar (2014) Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Cain Directed by: Christopher Nolan Rating: PG-13 for intense perilous action and brief strong language Did I Make a Mistake? Christopher Nolan knows how to wow the crowd. While I have currently only seen two of his movies (Interstellar and Dunkirk), I already see a pattern of intricate story-telling and brilliant […]

Drum roll please . . . . . . Kate DiCamillo! Oh. My. Gummy-bears. I love DiCamillo’s children’s literature. I read several of her books as […]
Blackout Candace Owens, as many of you probably know, is a young black political commentator who just recently joined the staff of the Daily Wire (can I get a hooray?!). She has had run-ins and clashes with Cardi B. and AOC over the past few months that were highly publicized and, much to the Left’s chagrin, only served as a […]
