Monday Movie Review: New Moon

Okay friends. Everyone hanging in there? Surviving? Good. After the rousing success (in my mind) of last week’s Twilight adventure, I figured I might as well subject you to the whole damn series. BECAUSE WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO. Like I mentioned last week, Twilight is not available for streaming (booo) and I only personally own the first one (why?!?!?!?), but DO NOT FRET. I met last week with an anonymous source for an illicit and socially distanced hand off of the entire Twilight Saga. So we are hooked up for the next month mofos and shit’s gonna get good. For some reason, I had it in my head that New Moon was the best of the movies and boy was I wrong! It’s amazing what a few years and a healthy relationship can do to a gal’s perspective. Let’s get to it.

Monday Movie Review: Twilight

Falon Movies 0 Comments

Oh friends. A couple of days ago, I tweeted out a survey to see what my movie review for this week should be: Twilight or the new Netflix rom-com Love Wedding Repeat. Twilight won handily, and so here we are. I should state for the record that I have (of course) seen Twilight before. I actually own it on special edition DVD, which turned out to be a good thing because Twilight isn’t available for streaming (WHY.). I (and by I, I mean my husband) had to go digging in the depths of our garage to find this bad boy and y’all better appreciate it. Without further ado, my thoughts while watching Twilight:

Monday Movie Review: Onward

Falon Movies 0 Comments

We finally got around to watching Onward this weekend, and I’m glad we had the chance to watch it at home rather than in the theater. Squirt was not super into this one and I think it would have been tough for him to stay focused during a theater viewing, so it was good he was able to run off and do his own thing rather than me having to tell him to be quiet every five seconds. For reference, Squirt is almost six. I don’t think this movie is really that great for any kids under the age of nine or ten, personally, just based on subject matter.

Monday Movie Review: The Best Marvel Movies to Watch on Disney+

Falon Marvel, Movies 0 Comments

Switching things up a little this Movie Monday because *quarantine*. I’m assuming by now that every member of the population has subscribed to Disney+. If you didn’t pre-quarantine, you probably have by now. If not, just do it. You can thank me later. Now, not all of the MCU offerings are available on Disney+ but most of my faves are, and here’s the ones you should check out (and the order in which you should watch them):

Monday Movie Review: Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Falon Movies 0 Comments

Hi friends! I was going to come back with another review of a so bad it’s good movie, but then I saw they were releasing Portrait of a Lady on Fire on Hulu and I jumped at the excuse to watch an actual good movie instead. I had been planning on seeing this one in the theaters, I even had my ticket reserved, right before the whole lockdown deal went into effect. So I was stoked I could see this one in the comfort of my own home.

Monday Movie Review: High Strung

Falon Movies 0 Comments

So clearly my Monday movie review posts are going to be a tad different during lockdown since I can’t get out to go to my local theater. There’s a decent chance I’ll be reviewing some of the newer releases that are being sent to streaming, but for now, I’m going to focus on reviewing some “hidden gems” that already exist on your favorite streaming platforms (you can find today’s gem on Hulu). I saw a tweet about a subway dance battle featured in today’s choice and knew this was one I had to watch. So let’s dive in, shall we?

Monday Movie Review: Emma

Falon Movies 0 Comments

Sometimes in life, the perfect piece of art comes along at the perfect time, and for just a few minutes, it seems like all is well in the world. That’s what Emma was for me last week. The world is burning, we’re about to go into quarantine, and Disneyland is closed. It doesn’t get much worse. But then, there’s Emma, and honestly it doesn’t get much better.
