‘Every Body’ (2023)

Director Julie Cohen’s documentary, ‘Every Body,’ offers a powerful look into the lives of people born with variations in sex characteristics (intersex). The film follows activists Alicia Roth Weigel, River Gallo, and Sean Saifa Wall as they share their experiences with a medical system that has often failed to understand their bodies. It reveals the harmful practice of surgeries performed on children without their consent and makes a strong case for the right to control one’s own body and receive legal protection. Through personal stories and historical information, the film questions traditional ideas about gender and biology, while also documenting and supporting the growing movement for intersex rights. It’s both an informative resource and a vital record of this important fight.

‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ (2023)

I was blown away by this movie! It’s an amazing animated adventure that finally brings Mario and Luigi to the big screen in a way we’ve all dreamed of. The story shows how these two Brooklyn plumbers stumble into a whole new magical world through a strange pipe, and then get split up. It’s up to Mario, along with Princess Peach and Toad, to save Luigi from the really scary Bowser! The voice acting is fantastic – Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, and especially Jack Black, who absolutely kills it with a musical number. It’s packed with nods to the classic games I grew up with, but it also feels like the start of something huge – a whole new cinematic universe for Mario and friends!

‘Zombieland’ (2009)

A shy college student named Columbus manages to survive a zombie apocalypse by following a detailed set of rules. He teams up with Tallahassee, a rugged man determined to find the very last Twinkie. Along the way, they meet two clever con artists, Wichita and Little Rock, and together the four journey across the country towards a supposed safe zone in Los Angeles. This movie cleverly mixes scary moments with comedy, and much of its success comes from the great connection between the four main actors. It’s also famous for a memorable surprise appearance by Bill Murray.

‘The ‘Burbs’ (1989)

Directed by Joe Dante, the darkly comedic film explores the unsettling feeling of suspicion that can take root in seemingly peaceful suburban neighborhoods. Starring Tom Hanks, it follows Ray Peterson, a worried homeowner who becomes convinced his odd new neighbors, the Klopeks, are hiding something. While on vacation, Ray and his friends try to uncover the source of the strange happenings at the Klopek house. The film playfully pokes fun at the dullness of suburban life and the hidden curiosities it can breed, ultimately leading to a wild showdown that makes you question who is really behaving strangely.

‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ (2003)

Okay, so I just watched “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” and it’s still a fun ride! The premise is delightfully silly: Kate Hudson plays Andie, a magazine columnist tasked with driving a man away using all the classic dating no-nos. Meanwhile, Matthew McConaughey’s character, Ben, makes a bet he can make any woman fall for him in just ten days. What they don’t know? They’ve picked each other as their targets! The movie is packed with funny moments as they both try to stick to their plans, with Andie playing increasingly desperate and Ben trying to remain cool as a cucumber. Of course, things get complicated when real feelings start to develop. Honestly, it’s a rom-com classic because the chemistry between Hudson and McConaughey is just fantastic – they really sell the whole thing!

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ (2015)

This romantic drama, based on the popular novel by E.L. James, follows Anastasia Steele, a college student, as she meets the wealthy and mysterious Christian Grey. Their connection begins with an interview, where Anastasia is captivated and slightly intimidated by the brilliant entrepreneur. The film focuses on their complicated relationship, shaped by Christian’s desire for control and his unique preferences. Starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, the story explores themes of boundaries, agreements, and emotional connection, and kicks off a series of films that reveal the hidden pasts of both characters.

‘Trolls’ (2016)

This lively animated movie follows Princess Poppy, a relentlessly cheerful leader, and Branch, her pessimistic and cautious friend. When the Bergens – gloomy creatures who believe eating happy beings will make them feel better – invade their village and kidnap their friends, Poppy and Branch must team up to save them. The film is filled with familiar pop songs and original music, and tells a heartwarming story about discovering happiness within yourself. Its unique animation style looks like it’s made from felt and other craft materials. Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick star as the voices of Branch and Poppy in this tale of friendship and overcoming challenges.
