Shailene Woodley_Paul Dano - Dumb Money

“Dumb Money” is based on the true story of the rise and fall of GameStop stock in 2021. I vividly remember being glued to the news during this time because of the pandemic. In between watching reports on the coronavirus, there news stories on how GameStock shares were climbing higher and higher. What I didn’t really understand, and what the movie expertly lays out, is how this was a battle between the business savvy hedge fund investors and the … [Read more...]

Gran Turismo_Harbour-Bloom-Madekwe

“Gran Turismo” is a heart-pounding, thrill ride of a movie. From the moment I turned on the movie at home, I was riveted to the screen. Gran Turismo is based on the unbelievable true story of a team of unlikely underdogs – a struggling working-class gamer (Archie Madekwe), a failed former racecar driver (David Harbour), and an idealistic motorsport executive (Orlando Bloom). Together, they risk it all to take on the most elite sport in the … [Read more...]

Dolly Parton - Christmas

Dolly Parton is a legend and I’ve enjoyed listening to her music since hearing “9 to 5” when I was a young girl. Not only does she sing beautifully, but her generous heart is commendable as well! I love that she has a childhood literacy program called Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. You can read more about it here. Just in time for the holidays, you can watch “Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas.” Experience the magic and music … [Read more...]

Escapology Northridge - Mystery Machine

True confession – I’ve never been in an escape room until last month. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always wanted to participate in an escape game, but for some reason I thought it would scare me. Admittedly, there are some escape rooms that aim for thrills and chills.
