The Kissing Booth – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
On one hand, The Kissing Booth can be seen as a conversation on a young woman’s autonomy. On the other, it is a simple, sweet, and kind of cheesy romantic comedy.

Irreplaceable You – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

A Christmas Prince is a cute, yet predictable film which perhaps is more touching than expected.

Death Note: Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Let me preface this with noting the white washing of Netflix’s Death Note won’t be a pressing point. What will be is that it turned a cool, made for adults, anime into something that seems like a young adult novel adaptation. Trigger Warning(s): Use of gorey picture

Message From The King is a procedural revenge story where our lead finds one guy, to learn the name of another, and this process repeats until he is ready to exact his bloody revenge.
The Incredible Jessica James – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
The Incredible Jessica Jones is the type of film which definitely won’t be for everyone. Like with Girlboss, we are given a character who arguably can be narcissistic, but you can grow to love. Though I can’t guarantee with time that will be true for every last Netflix subscriber.
To The Bone – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
To The Bones makes it so you officially can’t say Lily Collins is living off her father’s name anymore. For she proves herself as an actress just as capable of being a romantic lead as someone whose story can be emotionally heavy and heartbreaking.

Okja, at its heart, is more so about the food industry and animal rights than about a child and her dear pet.

I could kick myself for putting this movie off as long as I did. For out of all the movies which were on my Netflix watch list, this is the only one, thus far, I’ve enjoyed. Though, I should note, not without some caveats. Whether or not that should be seen as a deal breaker,…
Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
When many think of protest and demonstrations in the modern age, Hong Kong isn’t perhaps what first comes to mind. In America, you’d think of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. In parts of the middle east, perhaps the Arab Spring. But when it comes to Asia, while they also have human rights issues, they don’t necessarily get…
Get Me Roger Stone – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
In Get Me Roger Stone, Roger Stone is presented beyond the level of the Koch Brothers or any non-politician political figure you may know. For truly, the way this documentary presents him, he should be in history books.

Tramps as a romance film works but is pretty lackluster when it comes to everything else.
Sand Castle – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Sandy Wexler – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
As comedians get older, usually they retreat into the dramatic fields and start exploring what else is out there for them. Yet, for Adam Sandler, thanks to a multi-movie Netflix deal, it seems he feels validated in sticking to his old ways and not making any changes to his formula. Hence, Sandy Wexler.

Audrie & Daisy – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Documentaries, usually, are not about happy topics. They are about exposing someone’s suffering, sometimes their triumphs, but rarely is the most empowering tales without the shock someone survived all they were put through.

iBoy – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) After Take the Ten, I had a real fear that as Netflix tries to beef up the amount of original content it had, it would focus solely on quantity over quality.

13th – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
In many ways, 13TH is like some of the posts you see on social media in which a blogger tries to break down how racism in America works. But rather than names only known on the internet, the sources of their material are trying to educate you the best they can.
