5/5 stars

Alien movie poster. Featuring an alien egg hatching and greenish yellow smoke coming out.


I can't lie to you about your chances, but...you have my sympathies.



A woman wearing a green jumpsuit, standing in front of machinery, holding an orange cat.

A girl and her cat IN SPACE!!
What more could you ask for!



A woman resting her foot up on a dashboard like control center and pushing back her hair.

As soon as I saw Ripley's converse-esque shoes
I thought of Doctor Who. I guess canvas sneakers
are the standard space shoe!

4.5/5 stars

Sleepy Hollow movie poster. Featuring a man riding a horse, holding an axe, under a full moon.


Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue.



A woman wearing a dress and a cloak sitting on top of a horse. A man stand beside them holding the woman's hand.

I absolutely love the costume design in this movie.



A man riding a horse in foggy woods, holding a lit jack o lantern above his head.

Another thing I love about this movie is the
imagery and the cold atmosphere it creates.

Baby Driver

My rating:

4.5/5 stars

Baby Driver movie poster. Featuring a headshot of all the main characters above a highway with a car speeding by.


Sometimes all I want to do is head west on twenty in a car I can't afford with a plan I don’t have. Just me, my music and the road.



A boy with earbuds in his ears. While someone out of frame picks up his iPod.

I think it's very cool how centered around music
this movie is, without it outright saying so.



Two pairs off feet tapping to a beat. One wearing sneakers and jeans, the other wearing heeled boots with socks.

This movie has an average runtime but the pacing
is fast. Not only that, but I feel like it does a really
good job at immersing you into the story, making
the movie seem even shorter.

The Dark Crystal

My rating:

4/5 stars

The Dark Crystal movie poster. A purple and orange sunset reflecting light off of a crystal. A jagged castle in the background, the ground at it's base cracking.


Hold her to you, for she is part of you. As we all are part of each other.



Two Gelfling (elf-like creatures), one blonde one brunette. The blonde is holding a fuzzy pet.

This movie is weird and goofy. But above all else,
it is whimsical and fun, aka all that matters.



A very fuzzy round creature. With short almost nonexistent legs, yellow eyes, and a big mouth with lots of teeth.

I mean... just look at this guy!
