Sometimes you just need a comfort movie for your #WayBackWednesday, which is why I’m revisiting the 1987 cult-favorite this week, The Princess Bride. The Princess Bride is nearly universally loved, but did you know this film was only moderately successful…
#WayBackWednesday – When Harry Met Sally… (1989)
Confession: I have been reluctant to watch When Harry Met Sally… for many years. It’s not because it’s not my preferred genre of science fiction. It’s not because I don’t enjoy Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, or the writing of the…
#WayBackWednesday – The Santa Clause (1994)
The Santa Clause got repeat play at my house year-round growing up. I watched a fair amount of Home Improvement because of my crush on JTT back in the day, so I was quite happy to watch a Disney Christmas…
#WayBackWednesday – White Christmas (1954)
White Christmas is a film that I missed growing up. My parents aren’t really into musicals. Truthfully, it wasn’t even on my radar until a few years ago when one of my best friends was aghast that I’d barely heard…
Fangirlish Countdown To Christmas: ‘The Santa Clause’
Sometimes you just need a movie that reminds you of what it is like to truly love something and that there is hope in the world.
#WayBackWednesday – Home Alone (1990)
Home Alone is one Christmas movie that gets repeat play at my house every single year, and has since I was a kid. I was the perfect age for Home Alone when it premiered and long dreamt of setting all…
#WayBackWednesday – Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas (1977)
Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas brings back a few memories for me from my childhood. I’ve always enjoyed Jim Henson and the Muppets, but Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas came across my radar by pure happenstance. I was maybe somewhere in the…
#WayBackWednesday – Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
Planes, Trains & Automobiles is the quintessential Thanksgiving movie. To be totally fair, there just aren’t that many Thanksgiving movies, but aside from A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, there’s probably no other Thanksgiving film more beloved than Planes, Trains & Automobiles.…
#WayBackWednesday – You’ve Got Mail (1998)
The words “You’ve got mail!” and common home usage of the internet became ubiquitous in the mid-late 90s. I know that was about the time my family bought our first home computer and got an internet connection. While we never…
‘Chick Fight’ Movie Review: “Let’s Hit Like A Girl!”
You enjoyed Chick Fight! It was released yesterday and it’s time for us to take a look at all we think about this movie. You already know that we love it and it’s almost perfect but we’re going to analyze why.…
#WayBackWednesday – Universal Soldier (1992)
Universal Soldier is a title I remember hearing in the past, but I never really looked into the film before today. I wanted to do a war film in honor of Veterans Day, but I’ll be honest with you, I’m…
#WayBackWednesday – A Goofy Movie (1995)
Need a comfort movie? A Goofy Movie is good for what ails ya. Check out our #WayBackWednesday review of A Goofy Movie.
#WayBackWednesday – Alien (1979)
We’re all stuck in the house, right? There’s never been a better time to dig into those retro movies that you’ve always wanted to watch, but never had the time for. Personally, I’m a bit of a retrophile and tend…

We’re counting down to Christmas and todays movie – ‘A December Bride’. Read all about why we love it.
‘Rebecca’ Advanced Review: A Fresh Take on a Classic
When the trailer for Rebecca (2020) first dropped, I, like so many young people who will be checking out this movie on October 21st, had no idea that it was an adaptation. I had somehow missed Daphne Du Maurier’s 1938…
#WayBackWednesday – Fright Night (1985)
Fright Night is a somewhat recent watch for me, despite the film being 35 years old. I was introduced to Fright Night through one of my favorite podcasts–Saturday Frights. I started listening to Saturday Frights long before I actually liked…
#WayBackWednesday – Anaconda (1997)
When I was a middle school kid, I begged my mom to take me to see Anaconda. My mother, having quite the aversion to snakes, flat out refused. I had a fascination with snakes and movies with giant snakes, despite…
