Cinema Clash Podcast: The Climb, Come Away
I wasn't blown away by Come Away. But I was somewhat entertained by The Climb. To find out why, tune in to this edition of the Cinema Clash podcast! Charlie…

Cinema Clash Podcast: Pandemic Edition 2
Sometimes it's easier to talk about a movie than write about it, especially during a pandemic. My motivation to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) takes a hit…

Mainstream Chick’s Top Picks of 2016
It's that time of year - when friends, family, and strangers in the elevator ask, "Hey, Did you see [fill in the blank]? Is it any good? What's your favorite…
Passengers
Passengers is basically Castaway in space – with a bit of Gravity and The Martian thrown into the mix. Only it’s not as good as the aforementioned titles, mostly because…
La La Land
Believe the buzz. La La Land IS the best movie of 2016. It's certainly my top pick for top honors in the Oscar pool. But here’s the twist. I had…
CinemaClash Podcast: Zootopia, London Has Fallen, WTF
Check out my latest podcast with Charlie Juhl. This week, Charlie and I clash over Zootopia, London Has Fallen, and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. He thinks my tastes are shallow. I…
The 5th Wave
The 5th Wave is yet another weak offering typical of January that may hold some appeal to those hungry for something (very) remotely resembling a Hunger Games or Divergent style…
Ant-Man
Ant-Man is Iron Man light. Right down to the teeny tiny suit. And since I’m a huge fan of Iron Man (due mostly to Robert Downey Jr.), I couldn’t help…
Beyond the Lights
Beyond the Lights is somewhat reminiscent of the classic Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner romantic drama The Bodyguard. It doesn’t reach the same heights in terms of story and tension (and Houston…
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Hollywood can be so cruel. Splitting the third and final book of The Hunger Games trilogy into two movies feels so… unnecessary. Lucrative, in a “hey, Harry Potter and Twilight…
Jersey Boys
If you like the music of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, then treat yourself to Jersey Boys, the award-winning broadway musical-turned-movie directed by Clint Eastwood. The movie isn’t as…
Draft Day
Draft Day is perfectly likable, but it wouldn’t really make the cut for anyone’s fantasy team of sports movies. It’s superficial entertainment geared toward the ESPN Sports Center crowd, with…

Mainstream Chick’s 2013 Year in Review
I don’t particularly like lists – especially where movies are concerned because so much depends on what you're hoping to gain, and the kind of mood you’re in. I generally…
Frozen
Frozen feels a lot like a broadway musical converted into a Disney animated movie. And that’s just fine by me. Case in point: Okay, so the powerful voice of Idina…
