‘Unstoppable’: a balanced film review
When I hear the word “wrestling,” the first thing I think about is how much one of my aunts LOVES WWE. I originally thought WWE embodied wrestling, but as it turns out, their matches are highly choreographed and scripted. It wasn’t until I read Anthony Robles’s memoir Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became…

Emilia Pérez en 500 palabras
Esto es una reseña sin spoilers. Admito que casi acabé esta película después de 17.5 minutos. Una de las razones por la cual fue que me costaba quedar atrás del diálogo en español mientras leía los subtítulos en español.

Outrage for J.Lo’s ‘Halftime’ Proves Her Point About Abuse From the Media
TW: Mentions of online/media harassment, implicit biases, suicide, and mental health. Read at your own risk. For Jennifer Lopez fans like myself, Halftime commemorates the celebration of a legend.

50 Thoughts I Had While Watching ‘Turning Red’
To be honest, I’m not sure what I first thought when I saw the title Turning Red. It sounded like an interesting movie (without reading the summary), but I also thought it was just another regular release as part of Pixar’s production cycle. Then again, my impressions are always weird without reading the summary. Speaking…
