My February Movie Watchlist

  I would definitely describe myself as a 'movie enthusiast'. I pride myself on giving the best movie recommendations as well because I'm honest and love a wide range of genres. These are the movies that I'm looking forward to seeing this month and will post a review of each listed in a later post.

When We First Met

This romantic comedy is what I am most exited to see this month because I have been binge watching sic-fi shows all week. This movie is released on February 9 on Netflix and stars two of my favorite actors, Adam DeVine and Alexandra Daddario.

Lady Bird

Another good movie to refresh my sc-fi loving mind. I saw the trailer for this movie a while ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. I wouldn’t categorize this movie as a drama though, I look at it as an over-elaborated coming-of-age tale. She’s young, discovering herself, and figuring out why life is the way it is.

Jumanji

I remember Jumanji being one of my favorite movie growing up so I hope that the ’new one’ doesn’t taint any of my childhood happiness associated with this movie. I did want to completely disappoint or talk myself out of watching this movie by viewing the full trailer, all I know is that everyone switches bodies. I am really against remakes, I’m just giving this one a chance because Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson is starring in it.

"Very few remakes, sequels or franchise reboots have signaled their desperation to connect quite as nakedly as “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” does." Full review Glenn Kenny The NYTimes
