Red, White & Royal Blue 2023
Did I predict every plot point and every line of dialogue without reading the book? Yes.
Did I have fun? Also yes.
Am I looking forward to Rachel Hilson’s next supporting role as “friend who explains the main character’s queerness to them as they fall in love with bland white boy” for a third time? You betcha.
Sidebar: while I love heartstopper as much as the next 20-something queer, it was refreshing to see adults being gay and doing mature things. This thought has less to do with RWRB but it’s interesting the juxtaposition between the two, since their releases were so close to each other.

The Greatest Showman 2017
I went into this with undeservedly low expectations and I was pleasantly surprised! The story here is actually good! It takes a while to get invested in the story because the conflict doesn’t kick in for quite some time (it’s not a traditional rags to riches plot, with conflict thrown in at every conceivable point) but once everything clicks, it really gets going.
Try to forget Hugh Jackman’s poor singing in Les Mis, Michelle Williams’s lackluster performance in Manchester-by-the-sea, and Zac Efron’s history as HSM-come-frat bro typecast, because they each really shine in this movie in ways I did not expect.
