Blinded by the Light Movie Review
Blinded by the Light is an incredibly inspirational film. Itās the story of a Pakistani teenager named Javed (Viveik Kalra) whoās going through a tremendous identity crisis. In a unique fashion, his story shows us that the most important thing in life is to discover who we are. Growing beyond childhood regularly takes being forced into it when weāre not ready. That nudge ofttimes comes from the most unlikely of places. It certainly does in Javedās case. Read more

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Movie Review
I must confess that I have never read the books this film is based on. That being said, I was still looking very forward to seeing this movie. The reason? A documentary about the books and their author, Alvin Schwartz, was released and I watched and reviewed it. I found the subjects of that documentary to be quite fascinating. Afterward, I couldnāt wait to see what the movie had in store for us. I was hoping it would stay especially true to the sketches of the monsters Schwartzā illustrator, Stephen Gammell, came up with to kickstart his reader’s imaginations. I’m happy to say… they most definitely did.
The Kitchen Movie Review
āThis is an entertaining film! The writer and director of āThe Kitchenā is Andrea Berloff, who also wrote āStraight Outta Comptonā and āSleepless.ā With this, she set out to pen a script for three female actors who could sink their teeth into the juicy roles that are usually given to their male counterparts. Itās meant to be a bit provocative, as well, but not so much so that it takes over the riveting nature of a reasonably well-made action/drama to include a distracting, ill-fitting romance of some sort.
