Movie Review: IN FULL BLOOM


As a film lover, I’ve dove into pretty much every genre there is - from cheesy rom-coms, to splattergore horror, to existential dramas - but two genres I don’t typically jump to are sports films and foreign language films. Now, that’s not to say I don’t watch them at all, because I do, just not on the level of some of those other genres. I mean, Parasite and Portrait of a Lady on Fire were two of my favorites from last year, but I’m still lacking in my film knowledge in both areas. So when I was offered the chance to watch a screener of this new film called In Full Bloom, I was worried a bit, as it falls into both of those categories.

Movie Review: QUEEN OF KATWE


Queen of Katwe is Disney’s latest offering in conjunction with its subsidiary, ESPN films. This film, directed by Mira Nair, follows the true story of Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga) as she rises from the slums of Uganda to become a chess prodigy and Woman Candidate Master. This film has a beauty and touching emotional core that makes it a really enjoyable watch even if it falls back on many traditional sports movie tropes throughout.
