Rachel Review: “The Chair” is a comfortable sit
Most workplace comedies are targeted toward a younger audience, but what I appreciate about Netflix’s new show “The Chair” is that it doesn’t overcomplicate itself with excessive storylines. The everyday humor added into it makes for a great comedic drama that works for a variety of different audiences. “The Chair” stars Sandra Oh as Ji-Yoon, […]
Rachel Review: Oscar Thoughts and Predictions
Even though there were fewer films and movies released in 2020 due to COVID-19, the academy still had enough to make good nominations for all their categories. In other words, thank God for Netflix. The Oscar nominations for Best Picture are “Minari,” “Mank,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “A Promising Young Woman,” “The Sound of […]
Rachel Review: “Thunder Force” does not bring the thunder
Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone recently released another one of their lazy movies to Netflix, and sadly, they brought Octavia Spencer into this project as well. Despite the movie being named “Thunder Force” there was no drive in it. The movie follows two estranged best friends who come together as a superhero duo […]
Rachel Review: Concrete Cowboys, Unexpected Gem
I personally feel like while I was growing up, from 2008-2012, there were so many horse movies about a girl either trying to keep the family farm or someone who wanted nothing to do with the horse becomes the only person the horse trusts. They were all the same and I was glad they weren’t […]
Rachel Review: The Irregulars, failed attempt of Sherlock Holmes revival
Characters that appeared in several of the original Sherlock Holmes books, often referred to as irregulars, were brought together and turned into their own tv show “The Irregulars.” Released March 27 to Netflix’s streaming platform, it now rests in the top 10 watched in the U.S. list. The premise follows a group of teens set […]
Rachel Review: Deadly Illusions, a must not watch
While not technically a Netflix original, a new movie dropped on Netflix on March 18 so cleverly named “Deadly Illusions”, that might be the only compliment I give it. The premise of the movie itself isn’t bad, it’s just everything else that is. The movie follows an author who is about to start her new […]
Rachel Review: “I Care a Lot” really doesn’t
Netlflix’s new movie “I Care a Lot” keeps audiences stuck in a captivating distress as you watch probably the most unethical of people fight for what they want. The movie follows Marla Grayson, acted by Rosamund Pike, as she continues to build her little empire by taking advantage of the elderly. When the victim gets […]
Rachel Review: Must Watch Docuseries
On Feb. 17 Netflix released a new Docuseries hosted by Will Smith called “Amend: The Fight for America,” highlighting the long history of the amendment that gave marginalized groups the rights they have today. The series follows the establishment of the 14th Amendment and how, throughout history, it has been used to better our society […]
Rachel Review: To All the Boys… why?
Just before Valentine’s Day, Netflix came out with their third installment of their infamous “To All the Boys” series, this time being named “To All the Boys: Always and Forever.” The movie follows the same characters, mainly focused on Lara Jean Covey’s and Peter Kavinsky’s relationship and where it stands as they look toward their […]
Rachel Review: Malcom & Marie
The film “Malcolm & Marie” was released on Netflix over the weekend. Although it is complicated and kind of difficult to watch at times, it is the right film to help start a conversation about toxic relationships or to follow this years award season. The film follows Malcolm and Marie who just arrived back home […]
