My Review of "The Wrong Missy"
The Wrong Missy has just come out on Netflix and I was interested in seeing what it had up its sleeve. It's as formulaic as all the other Happy Madison Production romantic comedy movies. The secret is I kind of enjoy these formulaic movies. This one has its moments but I'll get to that.

Review of The Green Ember Series by S. D. Smith
My younger brother seems to have inherited the book-loving genes just like I did, so he has an extensive library of fantasy and sci-fi on his bookshelves. Because I'm stuck at home for the forseeable future, I eventually ran out of books to read on my own shelves. While I waited for more books to arrive in the mail due to my tendency to shop online as a form of self-care, I thought it would be a good idea to dive into some of my brother's favorites. That was what led me to pick up The Green Ember.

The Wrong Missy
Brief synopsis: After suffering a traumatic blind date experience, a single man encounters the woman of his dreams a few months later whilst on his way to a cross-state meeting. High jinx ensues when he mistakenly ends up asking the former blind date to accompany him on a work retreat instead of the woman of his dreams.

My Review of "A River Runs Through It"
A River Runs Through It isn't the typical movie that I like watching. It's a period piece talking about how fishing can bring back a relationship between separated siblings. The explanation seems really dry but there's really a lot more to this movie than that. It isn't really a good description to get someone like me to watch this movie. What can I say? I'm a victim of the era I live in.

My Review of "Johnny English Strikes Again"
Johnny English Strikes Again is an attempt to bring back the bumbling spy genre back. I've seen a lot of these over the years but this one has a different Rowan Atkinson spin on it. You'll see a few of the Mr. Bean mannerisms that sneak in here and there. I wouldn't say it was an absolutely great movie but it wasn't totally terrible either.

My Review of "October Sky"
October Sky had me engaged from the minute it started. What's even crazier is that it's based on a true story. Going into the movie I thought it was already an extraordinary tale. To find out that it was based on a true story really inspired me to believe in people and their dreams.

My Review of "The Half Of It"
The Half Of It turned out to be a really good movie. I honestly wasn't looking forward to seeing this movie because I thought it would end up as a mere copy of the movie Roxanne (but then Roxanne was a copy of Cyrano de Bergerac). Little did I know there's a huge twist at the end that I saw coming but didn't see coming.
