After a near-fatal accident, Riley finds herself escaping to Rockaway Beach, NY. She is searching for a new-normal in the waves of the ocean by taking up surfing as a hobby. At the same time, Logan is searching for the same solace Riley seeks in the waves while he is recovering from rare male breast cancer surgery and awaiting news on whether or not he is cancer free. What starts as two souls running from their respective lives becomes a journey of hope, friendship, healing and the realization that we are stronger than the things that hurt us.

A movie that brings Indian culture with classic Bollywood themes and electronic dance music.
I didn’t love Expecting Amy, the mini-series following Amy Schumer’s pregnancy, but it brought up a lot of great unspoken side-effects of working and growing a human in America.
My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices.

Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.
