Christmas in the Caribbean (2001)

The whole family will enjoy these fantasy and science fiction stories about families and individuals connecting, finding true love, and discovering self.

The sequel to the 2021 remake of the same name continues from where we last left off in this spooky adventure.

Few movies deal with aging (particularly aging women) with as much compassion as Relic does. Yet it’s not sickly sweet and not a soapbox rant against ageism. Relic simply is, allowing the horror to seep in quietly and carefully.

Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills. The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.

Mirrorball is full of passion and love for the medium of cinema and is indeed a fitting love letter to La La Land.

Unfortunately, People We Meet on Vacation didn’t hold up quite as well as I’d hoped.
