Villainess Review: Jill Rhodes (Naughty or Nice)
One of the many things I love about the holiday season is the holiday-themed shows and films. Hallmark starts celebrating the holidays in October, and I mean both networks; the mystery films take the rest of the calendar year off to make way for the holiday films on their channel. I don't expect villainesses to appear, and even if one does appear, they're usually just nasty or "Grinchy," and they redeem themselves by film's end, because, hey, it's the holidays. That's what the holiday spirit is all about.

How 'The Grinch' Became an Icon
He was the cruel, evil green-animated Ebenezer Scrooge of our childhood props to author Dr. Seuss for making the Grinch a Christmas icon. The Grinch is based on the 1957 children's illustrated book How the Grinch Stole Christmas introduces the Grinch, a green, furry, Pot-bellied, pear-shaped, snub-nosed humanoid creature with a cat-like face and cynical personality who hates Christmas and decides to rob everybody's gifts and holiday decorations down in Whoville to make them feel sad. The story would be adapted in a 1966 short television special, a television series, a 2000 live-action film, a 2018 animation film, musicals, and a song written by the author himself that would be the theme song fitted for the Grinch.

Better get moving - this is going to be a busy Christmas. After making several visits, Four Christmases arrived in theaters in 2008. Kate and Brad’s Christmas plans are ruined when their flight is canceled. Since both of their parents are divorced, they travel around to each family. It’s an exhausting and festive time for each visit.

5 Classic Studio Ghibli Films That Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘The Boy And The Heron’ Will Fondly Remind You Of
It is not quite the masterpiece a la his 2001 Oscar-winning Spirited Away or as delightfully charming as 1988’s magical fantasy My Neighbor Totoro, but Hayao Miyazaki’s latest film, The Boy and The Heron, still bears many whimsical and enjoyable traits of classic Studio Ghibli films.

65
Ya know how sometimes you see a trailer for a movie and you think to yourself, “wow this is going to be terrible, I can’t wait to see it”? Well that was my exact thought process when I saw the trailer for 65 starring Adam Driver. We never got around to seeing it in the theaters but now that it's on Netflix we are finally diving in. Doing any dinosaur movie after the existence of Jurassic Park is super bold but here we go, my review of 65.

The Boy and the Heron. Top Story - December 2023.
Ever since watching My Neighbor Totoro with my husband I have been in love with Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli movies. When we heard that Miyazaki would be coming out with (yet another) final movie we both got very excited. The Boy and the Heron is a truly horrendous title for this movie but other than that it feels like the ultimate culmination of Miyazaki’s career and legacy.
