I saw Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn on the second day it was in theaters because a snowstorm delayed me from seeing it on opening night. It has taken me this long to get my thoughts in order and form coherent words about this movie and my love of one Harley Quinn.
Lately, I have been feeling nostalgic and wanting to re-watch movies in my collection. This includes the 2006 supernatural thriller The Covenant. While watching it, I remember the first time I saw it. I think it would have made an excellent television, web series, or mini-series, instead of a movie. Unfortunately, the film did not get many positive reviews and was only reasonably successful at the box office.
It is time to tale a look at Charlie’s Angles, making a reappearance on our screens. This movie has received a lot of negative feedback and has been called a box office flop. While there are a few things that I found it lacked, overall, I truly enjoyed it and would see it again.
When I found out that there would be a second Zombieland movie, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. On the one hand, it has been ten years since Zombieland, so I wondered if they would bring all the characters back alive. On the other, it could remain a standalone cult hit movie. Not to mention that, in those ten years, there have been other similar successful zombie movies (like Warm Bodies and Life After Beth). Especially lately, it seems like so many unnecessary reboots and continuations are coming to theaters. So, is it even necessary?
The adult animated sitcom Daria was on MTV and our screens from 1997 to 2002. The sarcastic high school teenager Daria Morgendorffer had her first appearance on the show Beavis and Butt-Head. Her character made a lasting impression, which resulted in her getting a series spinoff.
“This city, this whole country, is a strip club. You’ve got people tossing the money, and people doing the dance.”
What drew me into this movie wasn’t who was staring in it or the trailer. No, what made me want to see Hustlers was the article it’s inspired by: New York Magazine’s “The Hustlers at Scores,” written by Jessica Pressler in 2015. The fact that Samantha Barbash and Roselyn Keo were able to take so much money from Wall Street men and make a business out if it fascinated me. It made for an intriguing read and an interesting movie.
