She’s trapped in her life and miserable. She thinks she’s losing her mind. Is the multiverse real? Or is she ready to check into the padded room?

Everything Everywhere All At Once |  2022

Blurb
Top notch film that has everything. Comedy, Action, Multiverse, and Michelle Yeoh. Amazing camera work, writing and directing, costumes, sets, action sequences, and the flavor of each reality that pulls you in the story of each segment. This is the film to see! Try for a theater visit first. Lots of popcorn and your favorite pop!

Are they only BFFs? Maybe. Does he come from magic and superheroes? Maybe. Will they save the world and have a blast? Definitely!

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings |  2021

Blurb
I’ve seen Shang-Chi & LOTR three times now. Once in the theater (Amazing on the big screen) and twice on Disney+. The film hits all the high notes - writing, directing, acting, comedy, martial arts, action, costumes, sets, camera work, props, and VFX. This film brings joy with each viewing and glimpses into new layers each time. Watch it on the biggest screen possible with an appetizer spread and champagne!

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.” “Let’s fight like demons” “The Duke's son, he sees too much” Who will Paul become?

Dune |  2021

Blurb
Two hours and 45 minutes should feel very long in pandemic theater viewing. Delta still rages and this was the film I was willing to go to the theater for. Part 1 is beautiful. The visuals, costumes, sets, camera work, and acting are all top notch. Knowing the story is helpful as Dune is Game of Thrones huge packed into almost three hours. Hoping we get to see Part 2 as soon as possible. If you are a fan of the 1984 version (I mean it’s got Sting!) you will not be disappointed by the remake. I will watch this again on streaming after I see Dune 1984 again. Sake and Sushi feel appropriate for the visually feast of this movie!

Is the 6’ rabbit named Frank real? Is the time travel real? Can Donnie change everything before it’s too late?

Donnie Darko |  2001

Blurb
Donnie Darko is one of the great cult classics. Teen strife, time travel, small town antics, dreamy continuous shots with great 80’s music, and mental struggles. Top notch writing, acting, sets, wardrobe, and vintage tech. Is the perpetual question ever solved? Or was it all created in his mind? Bourbon neat with a water back and french fries + dipping sauce for Donnie Darko!

Rim of the World |  2019

Blurb
Really entertaining summer camp film that will let you reminisce and enjoy the teens vs. aliens plot! McG directed this gem - the writing, acting, VFX, sets, and even the oh so obvious ADIDAS product placement, are all good and worth your time. Make adult rootbeer floats, pizza pops, and smores for the viewing!
