I'm the founder of Moviepie.com where I've written reviews for over two (!) decades. I'm a member of the Seattle Film Critics Society (SFCS) since 2022 and GALECA (the Society of LGBTQ+ Entertainment Critics Association) since 2025. I'm based in the Seattle area. My favorite films include Gone With the Wind, Purple Rain, and A Room With a View. I have a fondness for what I call "space stories" and movies with talking animals. I don't believe there is such a thing as a guilty pleasure movie. Own what you love!

A young French woman who calls herself “Freddie” travels to Seoul on a whim for the first time, saying she’s just there for a couple weeks, you know, to see “everything”. This comes as a surprise to sweet, friendly Tenu (Guka Han) who runs the international guest house. You...

March 13, 2023–Wow, so was that an Everything Everywhere All At Once party, or what? Sweeping up seven Oscars, including some VERY big ones, like Best Picture, Best Director(s), Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, and Original Screenplay, A24’s wacky and weird flick about a weary laundromat owner (Michelle Yeoh)...

This plot has been tread and retread in countless feel-good sports comedies: A down on his luck jerk of a coach is matched with a ragtag group of underdog players. Then, to everyone’s shock and fist-pumping delight, said coach whips them into winners, and they, in turn, make him...

Love seeing Jennifer Lawrence in comedies, and this red-band trailer for the upcoming No Hard Feelings made me chortle. Wealthy helicopter parents (Matthew Broderick as the silver-haired dad!) are looking for someone to “date” their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, before he leaves for college to bring him out of...

I’m not sure what a great Whitney Houston movie would look like. Like so many before, she was an extremely talented and massively successful artist whose drug abuse ended up destroying her at too young of an age. It seems such a typical story, but she was not a...

Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) is a martial arts master, but he is tired and wants to live a quiet life. Deciding to give up his sword, Green Destiny, Li Mu Bai requests that his devoted friend Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) deliver the weapon to the respected elder Sir...

I can vouch that the super-simple game of Tetris is the most addictive video game ever. In the late 80s, it was the only game on my college roommate’s Mac, and we’d literally wrestle for the right to play it for a few hours. It was only recently that...

In case you forgot, it’s all about FAMILY! Fast X, the latest installment of the Fast and Furious blockbuster franchise teases it is the beginning of the end… or at least the start of the final chapters. I mean, in installment number nine, they went to space, so honestly...

Ben Affleck is here to remind us that he is more than awards arm-candy to his new superstar wife, but is himself a Best Picture Oscar winner for the thriller Argo. This time he is directing his buddy Matt Damon, among others, in a story about the revolutionary partnership...

Everyone loves a feel-good movie based on a true story… the more outlandish the pretense, the better. And now that we are in the post-holiday movie doldrums, what sounds better than a feel-good buddy movie about going to the Super Bowl? What if it was about four octogenarian ladies hell-bent...

You can never accuse Toni Collette of not bringing it to every performance. We learn in the opening scene of the 8-part true-crime drama The Staircase that Collette’s Kathleen Peterson has been found dying then dead at the bottom of the staircase in her home by her husband Michael...

Oh my god, Margaret, it’s the film adaptation that we’ve been waiting generations for! This long-awaited first teaser of the long-awaited (over 50 years!) film adaptation of Judy Blume’s iconic coming of age story Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret is as charming as I hoped. The filmmakers...
