Using some red gloss spray…

Packing my bag for Ithaca… ⚓🌊📖 When a story has b Packing my bag for Ithaca… ⚓🌊📖

When a story has been captivating readers for thousands of years, you know it’s worth revisiting. Huge thanks to @universalpictures @theodysseymovie and @moviesmorefun for this epic The Odyssey PR package—I had way too much fun putting together my journey essentials.

Gather ’round, kids… 🤣 Gather ’round, kids… 🤣
Thanks to our friends at @disneystudios and @allie Thanks to our friends at @disneystudios and @alliedglobalmarketing for the opportunity to screen Moana early! 🌊

The live-action Moana stays remarkably faithful to the animated classic, and while that means fans will appreciate how closely it follows the original, it also makes the remake feel a bit unnecessary just ten years later. 

Catherine Laga’aia is wonderful as Moana, and the breathtaking scenery and visuals beautifully bring the islands to life. As someone who considers the animated film one of Disney’s best, I appreciated that they didn’t try to reinvent the story.

If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly movie to enjoy together, this one definitely has my vote! Moana is in theaters now—grab the family and enjoy an adventure on the big screen! 🌺🎥

If you see one movie this weekend (sans kids), mak If you see one movie this weekend (sans kids), make it The Invite. 🥂 Thanks to our friends at @a24 and @alliedglobalmarketing, we had the opportunity to screen it early…and let me tell you, A24 has done it again.

The Invite is a wild, emotional ride that lingers long after the credits roll. Peeling back the curtain on marriage and adulthood, it explores the “what ifs” of our choices, the little things that quietly build over time, and whether they signal the end—or simply another chapter. Through one unconventional dinner invitation, every fear, frustration, and vulnerability is laid bare.

Awkward, emotional, funny, and completely unpredictable, The Invite somehow captures all the feels without ever losing its footing. This one is rated R for sexual material, language throughout, and drug use.

Skip the babysitter guilt just this once—grab your tickets and experience The Invite in theaters this weekend.

The satisfaction was unmatched. 📞😂 The satisfaction was unmatched. 📞😂
Last week we had a devilishly good time at Devil’s Last week we had a devilishly good time at Devil’s Hideaway, where we feasted on complimentary BBQ, snapped some horror-worthy photos, scored exclusive swag, and enjoyed a few sinister surprises.

The event celebrated the upcoming release of EVIL DEAD BURN, the newest chapter in the iconic horror franchise. This time, after the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws—only for a family gathering to spiral into absolute nightmare fuel as Deadites take over.

If you’re an Evil Dead fan (or just love a good horror movie), this one looks like it’s bringing all the blood, chaos, and mayhem the franchise is known for. 🔥

EVIL DEAD BURN hits theaters July 10. Who’s adding this to their summer movie list? 👹🎬
