Pretty boy Charlie Plummer has done it again! He must (should never) be stopped! Truly the people's princess of indie movies. Step out of the way, Lucas Hedges! "National Anthem" was a phenomenal film directed by Luke Gilford in 2023 starring Plummer as Dylan, a construction worker in New Mexico with troubled family life desperately looking for an escape. One day, he gets picked up to work at a ~unique~ ranch, where he meets the gorgeous Sky played by Eve Lindley. From there, he begins to bond with this group of ranchers who provide him a space to be himself. This movie had been on my list for a while, so I was so excited to watch it!

The story was more than a romance; it was about letting go of other's preconceptions of you to allow yourself to be true to you.

I was on a rom-com wave and wanted to go to the theaters, so I decided to see "The Materialists" directed by Celine Song in 2025 starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans. It is safe to say that I had extremely high hopes. Johnson stars as Lucy, a professional matchmaker who attends a wedding of a couple she matched.

My hopes came crashing down by the end of this movie. Song is an extremely talented director and while the production and shots were very beautiful and A24-approved, the story lost me. The premise was for Lucy to pick between love and money which I think is a very b...
Woah guys! I just figured out how to log back into my account! This is amazing!! I am so excited to post about new forms of media I am taking in! There has been a lot you’ve missed, so let us just start from what I am viewing now! For movies, I have been watching some Alfred Hitchcock films such as “Psycho” and “The Man Who Knew Too Much”. I have previously seen his work of “Rear Window” and many of his movies were uploaded to Netflix. I just got home for the summer so luckily Netflix lets me log in again! #letcollegekidsusenetflix Another film I am viewing is “Austenland” and I loveeee an adaptation. For TV shows, I am in between things. I recently finished Ginny & Georgia, which was…complex… to say the least. I am wrapping up the sixth season of What We Do In The Shadows which I will review on later. It is probably one of the best shows ever made. Seriously. It’s on Hulu. Watch ASAP. As my guilty pleasure I watch Love Island USA. I won’t comment on that show because th...
