I love the small-town setting—I’m a sucker for it. The film shows the different seasons while also exploring the urban jungle of New York. To me, that’s enough to make a good romance. The chemistry between Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White is great; without it, the overly clichéd plot wouldn’t have been entertaining. Overall,ContinueContinue reading “Winter Spring Summer or Fall (2024) Film Review”

Yes Man (2008) Film Review
Don’t watch this film expecting perfection, and I guarantee you’ll have a great time. This is a feel-good movie to turn to whenever you’re feeling down, as it’s fun, positive, and lighthearted from start to finish. Whenever I recommend fun, casual films, this is always on my list. It’s Jim Carrey being his goofy self—whatContinueContinue reading “Yes Man (2008) Film Review”
Sleeping with Other People (2015) Film Review
They executed the overused “best friends to lovers” trope exceptionally well. Jason Sudeikis was hilarious in this—he upstaged the entire cast. Alison Brie, a criminally underrated actress, brought her natural charm and wit, and this film was no exception. Adam Scott, strangely enough, was intimidating in the best way. It’s a great casual watch ifContinueContinue reading “Sleeping with Other People (2015) Film Review”

Sea of Love (1989) Film Review
Oh God, this had me grinning like a teenage girl. One of the best rom-coms (yes, I felt like it is one) I have ever watched, and I hate that it took me this long to find out about this. There are very few things I look for in films. 2 of them are: wellContinueContinue reading “Sea of Love (1989) Film Review”
Williamsburg – a novel by John Danielle Delos Santos
There it is, my first official novel. I’ve been writing since I was in high school, most of them left unfinished. I always loved writing, it helps my creative mind to put itself to work. With this one, my hands just couldn’t stop. I’m proud of it, and I really don’t care if no oneContinueContinue reading “Williamsburg – a novel by John Danielle Delos Santos”
before we go – a movie
I am consciously dodging this film for years for reasons I don’t know. But due to the lockdown and me not being able to do anything for the time being, I’ve decided to give the film a shot. And it became an instant favorite. The film was Chris Evans’ directorial debut and I saw thatContinueContinue reading “before we go – a movie”
