Family Switch - A Netflix Movie Review
I thought body-switching only happened in the movies. After a switch, Family Switch is a 2023 Netflix film. A family undergoes a predicament when they switch bodies. On the weirdest day of their lives, they need to get back to normal before everything is permanent.

A Haunting in Venice
A perfect film for spooky season it seems. A Haunting in Venice was released in October and though the trailer did not give anything away really as far as plot was concerned the draw for me was Michelle Yeoh’s presence. And it is an Oscar contender so here we go with the review of A Haunting in Venice.

Shazam, Fury of the Gods
Okay so I am a huge fan of the first Shazam movie, I think the Shazam family is great (there was a new comic this year that was awesome) and honestly I just love yelling SHAZAM! That said, when I found out there was going to be a second one I was excited, then I saw the trailer and my excitement waned a little bit. And of course the general public's reaction was not great. But we know I don’t really care about public opinion. I love Rachel Ziegler so let's see how this goes. This is my official review of Shazam, Fury of the Gods.

Love Again
When I saw the trailer for Love Again I knew it was going to be a movie that made me cry. I also knew that I would see anything with Priyanka in it so I was pretty excited to see it. Then we never got around to seeing it in theaters. And enter Netflix to save the day so we are finally watching Love Again and here is my formal review.

Villainess Review: Nicole Whitfield (The Perfect In-Laws)
I had been looking forward to this one for a while, it was Reel One Entertainment's latest contribution to Lifetime. The Perfect In-Laws was set at the wealthy Whitfield estate, and it actually started with a flashback scene of the family's matriarch suddenly passing away while in the bathtub. On to the present day, which sees the film's central character, Audrey Sinclair, on his way to the house, as she's engaged to Xander Whitfield.

How “Death And Ramen” Delivers Love & Loss Through Noodles
Life, loss, and noodles. These are all the defining characteristics that will get you hooked in Tiger Ji’s second film, Death and Ramen. Death and Ramen is a short film written and directed by rising-filmmaker Tiger Ji. In his second movie, he crafts a dark comedy that explores themes of mortality and mental health all within the span of fourteen minutes. While fourteen minutes isn’t a lot of time to tell a compelling narrative, Ji manages to delivers an emotionally charged gut punch that reflects a story in the Asian American experience.

Love at First Sight
Sometimes it's hard to remember that films released on streaming services are eligible for Oscars, probably because it feels like that should not be a thing. But since it is, I am making a conscious effort to watch and review anything and everything that is eligible. There is absolutely no way I am going to get through everything but if nothing else it adds to the data of films for 2023. So our next review is going to be Love at First Sight released on Netflix.

Ranking the Animated Movies
2023 was an amazing year for films of all genres but there were also an impressive amount of animated movies. Now I am a defender of animation forever. Mostly because the Academy and some of the general public seem to think that animation is inherently for children and not respected appropriately as an artform. That said, I love animated movies so they are getting their own article. We are ranking the animated movies of 2023 from worst to best. Like with a lot of lists I’ve made, I don’t think any of these movies were bad; we are just going from less good to great.
