- ReviewedHis & Hers (2026)10. Januar 2026Watched it for Poppy Liu, but unfortunately she has about five minutes of screen time. Still, His & Hers is a fun time. It’s a relatively quick watch because the six episodes are around 40 minutes each and they move at a brisk pace. The performances, especially from our two leads, were pretty great. With that said, I do wish the mystery was stronger. While the set up is pretty engaging, the execution is a bit lacking. There’s some fun twists here and there, but I think the whodunit aspect suffers the most. You have this great ensemble, with actors like Marin Ireland, who is probably the best we’ve ever had at playing white trash; Poppy Liu, who as I said, was the main reason I watched; and Sunita Mani, who’s always exceptional in everything, but the show gives them nothing to do. They’re just left out on the side to focus on the two leads. And to be honest, I’d be fine with that, but both of them frustrated me so much. There’s so much potential in both their characters, but the show never wants to engage with them in a more complex way. There’s some layers to Anna’s character, played by the always-incredible Tessa Thompson but Jon Bernthal’s Jack Harper is left completely out to dry. He doesn’t get anything to do beyond screaming a bunch. The trailer and Anna’s voiceover introduce an interesting idea, that there are “two sides to every story”, but the show never fully commits to it. “Who’s guilty here?” is the question the show wants you to ask but it never gives you enough elements to truly wrestle with that question. I am a wee bit disappointed with the show, but still, it’s a fun time. I love trying to solve the case with the characters as I watch, but since none of the supporting characters are really fleshed out, my guess for the killer ended up being correct. In fact, I guessed two major twists, and I was really just throwing out the most random guesses, so it was surprising I was right the both times.
- ReviewedTrainwreck: Poop Cruise23. Juli 2025I think my humor is broken or maybe I am a shitty person, but I absolutely lost it when at the very beginning, they showed the clip of the people on the deck spelling the word “HELP” with their bodies LMAO. And then when they showed the illustration of the girl squatting over the railing to pee and falling. And then the reenactment of the girl peeing. And that one lady saying “They were doing the YMCA and I’m over here popping imodium.” And them opening the bar in that situation????
- ReviewedAap Jaisa Koi14. Juli 2025The second act conflict completely derailed the vibes for me. I knew it was coming and I know that’s part of the storyline and the point the film is trying to make, but it made R. Madhavan’s character so unlikable, and I just couldn’t get over it. Sure, he goes through his arc and all that, but I just couldn’t get over it. I was actively rooting against the couple. She was way out of his league and he had that attitude? Boy, don’t piss me off. For what it’s worth though, I thought the first half, where the characters fall in love, was pretty cute. Felt like a nice, mature love story, and well acted by our two leads.
- ReviewedThe Little Pageant That Could11. Juli 2025I lowkey didn’t even want to log this in because I didn’t want to put that ugly AI poster on my profile. I seriously cannot fathom why they would tarnish this well made and pretty emotional documentary by slapping ugly AI on the poster. That’s the first thing you see and it’s not a good impression. Anyway, this was a good documentary. Very fascinating and it was genuinely so moving to see all the clips of all the incredible artists and beautiful human beings just showcasing their light and spreading queer joy. The last ten minutes made me cry.
- ReviewedAngels in America11. Juli 2025“This disease will be the end of many of us, but not nearly all. And the dead will be commemorated, and we'll struggle on with the living, and we are not going away. We won't die secret deaths anymore. The world only spins forward. We will be citizens. The time has come.” Angels in America is a masterpiece. There’s no other way to describe it. It’s a true masterpiece. I watched it the first time when I was in high school, and I’ll be honest, a lot of it I simply wasn’t able to grasp. Watching it again now, older and more in tune with my queerness, with a deeper understanding of our history and the immense loss our community has suffered, I am finally able to take in this six-part miniseries in and truly understand the scope of its magnificence. I am in awe with how perfectly this show blends fantastical elements with realism to reflect the emotional and political landscape of that time. It’s such a moving story about the power of resilience and the tenacity of the human spirit. While the show chronicles the devastation caused by the AIDS epidemic, what astounds me is how full it is of hope, redemption, and progress in midst of overwhelming loss. I can’t even imagine how life changing it must have been to watch the original play live. Tony Kushner’s writing is just incredible; every monologue, every character, every storyline is so perfectly crafted. And the performances are as remarkable as the writing. Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, Al Pacino, Patrick Wilson, Ben Shenkman are all excellent, but Justin Kirk, Jeffrey Wright and Marie Louise Parker specifically stood out to me. Jeffrey Wright, in particular, was phenomenal. I was Delighted to learn that he won an Emmy for his performance and so did Parker. If you haven’t seen this, do yourself a favor and watch it immediately. If not for the story, then for Emma Thompson saying “The stiffening of your penis is of no consequence!”
- ReviewedBrokeback Mountain5. Juli 2025I love how the film begins with the two cowboys’ first meeting at Joe Aguirre’s office. We don’t see them separately before that moment because it doesn’t really matter who Jack Twist or Ennis del Mar were before they met each other. Their story begins with one another and I think that’s beautiful.
- ReviewedSorry, Baby3. Juli 2025The static shot outside the house as day turns to evening, then to night. The drive home afterward. The dip in the bath as you ramble, trying to make sense of what just happened to you. Eva Victor, you gave me chills. Sorry, Baby is perfection in every sense of word. The way it’s effortlessly funny in the driest way possible in one moment, then absolutely shattering in the next. Eva Victor is not only in complete command of the story and its tone; she’s also commanding on screen, delivering a performance that genuinely moved me.
- ReviewedPins & Needles28. Juni 2025Anyway, this was entertaining but I think this could have been better. A cat and mouse thriller is only good if the cat and the mouse are both interesting. I think our protagonist here was fine and I enjoyed her even though I didn’t like some of the decisions she made. But she was constantly moving and trying things to save herself so that was a plus and I loved the insulin angle. It caused me a great deal of anxiety. My issue was with the villains. They were just bland and frankly, comical at times. Most of the runtime they have no clue our protagonist was around so there was no cat and mouse tension there. And when the showdown happens it’s so meh. They just didn’t feel menacing enough for me. Overall, not a bad film at all. I had a fun time with this movie.
- ReviewedJab We Met28. Juni 2025One of the greatest romcoms ever made. I’ll even go as far to say that this might just be the best romcom Bollywood has ever made. Everything is just perfect. It’s funny. Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor’s chemistry is great. Imtiaz Ali is a talented writer and director. And the characters and dialogues are all very memorable and quotable. Geet is so iconic. Kareena Kapoor’s performance is just so incredible. All the praise she got for this film is not enough. We need to keep talking about her in this forever. Not just the comedic bits in the beginning are perfection but when the second half where we see Geet’s emotional turmoil, she’s so good at that too. Fantastic. She won a Nobel Prize in my household for playing Geet.
