I Remade Ram-don from Parasite. Here are my honest thoughts.
Parasite fans, quick! What was the most iconic part of the movie? For some, it deals with the basement. For others, it was this catchy tune about adopting a false identity. Though for me, the most iconic part of the movie was when I saw ram-don for the first time. I was like, “What is…

Everything Right With Encanto
Ahh, el Encanto. What makes it so special? Well, in English it translates to “charm,” though it can also mean “spell.” Although a spell is more commonly called “un hechizo” in Spanish. Another catch is that the verb “encantar” means “to love” or “to enchant.” Sounds fitting for this movie, right? If you’re learning Spanish,…

Everything Right & Wrong With “Queens”
At first, I did not care to watch Queens. There was a lot of promotion via commercials and billboards and I thought to myself, “Oooh, Brandy, Eve, and Naturi are on it,” but that’s about it. I didn’t think about watching it nor was I compelled to. Until I randomly decided to check it out during…

Marry Me: The Good, The Bad, and the WTF
Marry me marry me, say yes for the rest, the rest of your LIFE! Okay I can’t sing, but that’s a total ear worm. I’ve been waiting for this movie to come out for approximately two years. When it got pushed back twice due to the pandemic, it was like, “D**n.” But guess what? It’s…

Fantasy Island- TV Show Review
“What can the island do for you?“ Okay, when I first saw the commercial for the Fantasy Island reboot, the first thing I said was, “Roselyn Sánchez is HOT!” I mean, look at her. I don’t make the rules. Though looks aside, the plot looked super interesting and the scenery ~sigh~ dreamy as h*ll. I know my excitement…

The Celebrity Dating Game- TV Show Review
As brutally honest as this might sound, I remember seeing the commercials for the show and not having an interest in it (especially not with Hannah Brown being on it, ugh). I only happened to watch it one night when my aunt and I were looking at recorded shows we needed to watch. While I…

The Best National Costumes from Miss Universe 2020
Even though 2020 is over and we are well into May, the Miss Universe 2020 competition is underway. Normally I would be talking about the evening gowns, as that is my favorite part. However, I want to switch it up and cover the national costumes instead. I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the…

Album Recommendation: Rina Sawayama- SAWAYAMA
At first, I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy SAWAYAMA. Considering that albums can be a hit or miss for me (mostly a miss with the exception of maybe 2-3 songs), it could’ve ended up being something really good or something really boring and forgettable. I like to play music while playing Mario…

TV Show Recommendations: Chasing Life
Because I barely watch TV, it took me a while to finish this show. Don’t ask me why. You’d get a terrible answer. But with Chasing Life only having two seasons, you would think that I would have finished it ages ago. Nope. Though I remember finding this show via random Internet search, and I was intrigued…
