Movie Myth Debunked and a Core Memory Ruined!
Remember the 1987 film about three carefree bachelor roommates who get stuck taking care of a baby? If not, you will still get a kick out of this story. When I was a little girl, I loved this movie starring Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson. There was something funny and endearing about three grown men whose hearts melt over the baby they all love like their daughter (even though Danson’s character Jack is actually the father).

Killers of the Flower Moon
Lily Gladwell just became the first native woman to ever win a Golden Globe and though I do not put too much stock in the Golden Globes it was still a great moment. That said, as happy as I am for her, I didn’t see Killers of the Flower Moon in theaters. And as it is inevitably going to be an Oscar contender I needed to see it before nominations came out. I will say that I resisted this movie because I really don’t like Scorsese. His movies are boring and repetitive and I take issue with anyone who appoints themselves the end all, be all of film. That said, I am going into this movie a little bit biased against him. So here we go with my official review of Killers of the Flower Moon.

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series isn't simply a wizarding adventure; it's a tapestry woven with the intricate threads of fate, choice, and the inescapable entanglement of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. Unlike conventional hero-villain dynamics, their bond transcends good and evil, twisting and turning like the Elder Wand's mastery, making their destinies a spectacle of light and darkness locked in a breathtaking, thousand-thread waltz.

Mean Girls
Mean Girls is finally released in theaters and I have some thoughts. The first of them being that the internet's top complaint is that they didn’t know that it was a musical. I am going to say this is the nicest way possible, if you didn’t know that this movie was a musical you are stupid. There was a teaser trailer and 2 longer trailers. In the teaser Renee Rapp SINGS “I am Regina George”. In both longer trailers there are AT LEAST 4 scenes of dancing. On the poster there is a treble clef in the A of Mean Girls and there is a music note ring on Regina’s finger. The only way you walked into the movie not knowing it was a musical was if you are completely brain dead.
