    ★★★★★

    TL;DR: A personal review. It’s about myself, with connections (at times loose) to the movie. I move into college in a few days and I’m getting all nostalgic, combined with how seen I’ve felt for my first major Asian-American coming-of-age. Growing up, messing up, finding purpose, and learning how to love everyday soundtracked by songs of the mid-to-late-aughts (even in the 2020s for me), similar experiences with girls & social media, finding a love for film/video, and learning to love my…

    ★★★★★

    “It's like I was playing some kind of game, but the rules don't make any sense to me. They're being made up by all the wrong people. I mean no one makes them up. They seem to make themselves up.”

    If you know me, you know I’m a sucker for films about people confused about their future, hitting road blocks in transitional periods of their lives, and getting to go through all of that with the power of music in…

    How an underdog turns superhero in raunchy new action comedy ‘Novocaine’

    Meet Nathan Caine, a man who can’t feel pain. Fittingly enough, his nickname is inspired by the numbing drug novocaine, hence the title of this film.

    “Novocaine” is the latest big studio R-rated action comedy from co-directors Dan Berk and Robert Olson, starring Jack Quaid, Amber Midthunder and Ray Nicholson.

    The film follows everyman Nathan Caine, played by Quaid, who meets the girl of his dreams, Sherry, played by…

    ★★★★★

    My man Justin Marinelli cooked with this one, check it out here!

    So iconic that TAKEOUT is actually the reason Chili’s blew up this past year, not the triple dipper or anything…

    To be fair though, the 3 for me $10.99 really is one of the best steals in this economy that we don’t talk about enough. Love me a triple dipper, but they’re lowkey getting away with overcharging on those.

    My big takeaway from making this: I can never have too much Chili’s in my life.

    “Our entire life is a punishment.”

    No, I didn’t celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, I celebrated Mickey 17th day instead this Monday, March 17th!

    It’s impossible to talk about this movie and not bring up the fact that Bong Joon Ho literally made Parasite a few years ago now prior to this. And that’s just so awesome to go from one of the greatest, if not the greatest film ever, no hyperbole, to taking a swing into left field with what…
