I Watched The Harry Potter Films For The First Time - Here Is Why I Think The TV Remake Is Not Necessarily A Bad Idea
When Warner Bros. announced that it would be remaking Harry Potter into a TV show, I hated the idea. At the time, I had never watched the movies or read the books. Fast-forward a few years, and I just finished watching the films for the first time. I fell in love with Wizarding World and surprisingly changed my feelings about the TV series remake.
My 2024 year In Film: A Letterboxd Recap
I only watched 19 films in 2024 compared to the 40+ I watched in 2023. Still, one of the most notable things I did was watch the Harry Potter movies for the first time. Here is my Letterboxd 2024 year in review, better known as me being a semi-serious film critic until I spend half the post yapping about my insane tastes in movies and fictional characters.
The Dangers Of Thinking Your Child Can Do No Wrong | My Thoughts On Disclaimer*
Disclaimer* is a top-five TV show for me; one reason is its evoked range of emotions. Until the last episode, we all held a specific opinion of Catherine Ravenscroft. Episode seven revealed the true horrific story of what happened during that trip to Italy, and it got me thinking: Why do parents feel their children can do no wrong?
This Film Hits Different If You Have Visited The Sistine Chapel | My Thoughts On Conclave
One of my favorite genres of film is dramas centered around religion. I loved this film, and I think some of my enjoyment is due to my unexpected trip to Rome in 2023. Seeing the Sistine Chapel recreated so accurately was uncanny but fascinating. Here are my thoughts on Conclave as someone who loves this film genre and has visited the Sistine Chapel.
I Don’t Think I Am The Target Demographic For This Film | My Thoughts On Challengers
After rewatching Call Me By Your Name, I wanted to watch other movies directed by Luca Guadagnino. I finally got around to watching another of his films, Challengers, one of the most hyped films of the year. I went in with high expectations and was thoroughly disappointed.
A Short Analysis of Sheba Hart | Notes On A Scandal
When we learn Sheba has been having an affair with one of her students, at first, it is hard to fathom this happening, but you have to look at everything this woman has gone through. It is not right or acceptable for her to do this, but you can’t be too shocked that she did it.
I Watched House Of The Dragon, And I Have Never Watched Game Of Thrones - Here Is What I Loved About The Show
After watching season one in two weeks and feeling numb after the season two finale, I wanted to write about all of the things I loved and the one thing I did not like about House of the Dragon seasons one and two as a person whose only real exposure to Game of Thrones was watching the Red Wedding scene on YouTube the day after that episode aired because EVERYONE was talking about it.

The Portrayal of Stolen Innocence In May December
Carol is one of my favorite films, so I knew I had to watch Todd Haynes's newest film, May December, once it landed on Netflix, and I went into this one blind. I didn't even watch the trailers and was very shocked by the film's subject matter, but ultimately walked away from it disturbed, inspired, and ready to start an Oscar campaign for Charles Melton.
Our Flag Means Death - Edward Teach / Blackbeard & Masculinity
So this post was supposed to be a review of my rewatch of season one, but it turned into a short character analysis of Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, because I didn’t realize how complex of a character he was during my initial watch of this season over a year ago.
M3GAN: Gemma Is Not A Parent, But Neither Is M3GAN
I watched M3gan three times in three months. In theaters, the unrated version on Peacock, and during my flight back to the US from Rome. I noticed new things about Gemma and her reasoning for making M3gan each time I watched it.
Barbie Shocked Me
I was expecting a film filled with the fun, campy adventures of Barbie & Ken, but instead, I cried with laughter and emotion.
