“Birds of Prey” and the Fantabulous Emancipation from the DCEU
Birds of Prey has some of the best stunt work and choreography of 2020, and was the most fun I’d had in an action film since John Wick 3.

Julie Page seems to have everything going for her. Even though she's from a wealthy family, at the top of her class, and planning to go off to college after graduation, she's totally miserable and feels crushed by the impossibly high expectations of her mother. After being bullied at school and fighting with her mom, Julie snaps and reinvents herself. She meets Ari, a street tough girl who pulls her into a world of punk rock rebellion and the kind of freedom she's never had. Unexpectedly, Julie meets two local musicians, Remy Sinclair and his best friend Joey. Remy's music teacher, Mr. Foxhoven, is pushing him to attend music school as he struggles with the idea of leaving the people he cares about. Remy and Julie fall in love and their two worlds collide impacting everyone they care about. This is a story for anyone who has ever fallen in love and questioned who they want to become. "Ever Fallen" is the kind of coming-of-age story that speaks to every generation.

"THANK YOU, Zach Creggar!" Back in 2022, this now established star in the horror film genre gave us the quirkily creepy, unexpectedly funny (at times!) cinematic gem that was "Barbarian". It felt like a cool breeze just washed over us as, for ONCE, the much traversed roads these films tend to go with got an upgrade of uniqueness without sacrificing the ambiance of uneasiness you desire.
In this remake of the 1993 film of the same name, The Wedding Banquet follows the life of two queer couples as they struggle with life-changing decisions.
