Sierra Burgess, played by Shannon Purser (known for her roles in ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Riverdale’), receives a text from her longtime crush, Jamey (played by Noah Centineo), believing the message was intended for her. However, she soon discovers that the popular cheerleader and her nemesis, Veronica (played by Kristine Froseth), is behind it. Instead of addressing the situation directly with Jamey, she continues the deception because it makes her ‘happy’ rolls eyes — I know! I didn’t like it. Talk about cringeworthy
Having watched Noah Centineo in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, my expectations were set pretty high. I thought the film started out well. I was starting to smile here and there until Sierra made one wrong decision after another. She was supposed to be the smart one, for Kavinsky’s sake!
The whole catfishing thing, I think, is what bothers me the most if I’m being honest. It was borderline creepy and not funny at any point in the movie.
Allowing the whole thing to happen, even though she figured out right away that it was all an accident, was definitely not her character, but I guess being deemed as a ‘loser’ by the popular kids — one can only take so much.
I also thought that her playing the victim afterward was way off. I didn’t like the fact that she didn’t take full responsibility for what she did. It was just all too convenient for her.
For me, this would’ve been a big hit similar to ‘To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before‘ if written properly. There’s the execution, but the story was on the losing end.

Lara Jean played by Lana Condor wrote love letters to all the boys she ever had a crush on since childhood but kept them in a box until her younger sister , Kitty stole the letters and sent them to the boys she apparently “loved.”
On his 24th birthday, Adam comes out as gay to his three best friends – Chris (Parker Young), Nick (Chord Overstreet), and Ortu (Jon Gabrus). Naturally, the three freaked out but immediately reassured Adam that nothing is going to change between them.
This film is like a Coldplay music video for me. It’s affecting and it’s melodious and by the end of it, it felt like you’re grasping for something. Beach Rats is so much like that. Its enigmatic lead Harris Dickinson is nothing short of spectacular playing a repressed youth from Brooklyn finding his sexuality and his place in the sun. It’s a rough environment for him and he’s got to fit the mold to survive.
I absolutely adore this film! It’s very old school in a way but very refreshing at the same time as its story revolves around two gay schoolmates and the friendship between them that you won’t even mind that there’s not a single whip of romance in it and I loved it for that! Not every gay guys are out there are looking for their “one true love!” I also loved the fact that there’s nothing remotely sexual about it. It’s just about two high school boys trying to fit in or in Ned’s case, trying to get through high school.
The Danish Girl is inspired by the true story of married Danish painters Einar and Gerda Wegener. When portrait artist Gerda Wegener as her husband Einar to stand in for a female model who couldn’t make it on time, it reveals her husband lifetime identification as a woman.
The first film, Mamma Mia was an absolute delight! I’m a big Meryl Streep fan and I absolutely adore the storyline of the first installment which was released a decade ago. Can you believe that it has been 10 years? Doesn’t feel like it at all!
