Middle Life: Movie Review

A loud, brash, bizarre rom-com.

Middle Life is a mid-life crisis rom-com from Canadian filmmaker Pavan Moondi. Andie (Leah Fay Goldstein) is in her mid-30s, married, has a baby at home and is struggling to get back to work as a wedding planner. She doesn’t like work much anymore but that’s because she’s not busy after having taken off more than a year to have and raise her baby. She doesn’t like her husband much anymore since the baby didn’t seem to disrupt his life the way it did hers. She’s not happy so she’s just going to sit around a complain instead of changing anything.		2025 Directed by: Pavan Moondi Screenplay by: Pavan Moondi Starring: Leah Fay Goldstein, Peter Dreimanis

Little Lorraine: Movie Review

A dark, devastating tale of community, morality and drug smuggling.

Little Lorraine is named after the small town it’s set in. Based on a true story, Little Lorraine is a small community settled on the Atlantic Coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The residents went to church, went fishing or worked in the mine until they were caught up in the center of a massive cocaine smuggling ring in the late 1980s and early 90s. I was wary of the crime drama aspect but I’m a sucker for the “based on a true story” tag. A drama that goes straight for the heart with the real men caught between a rock and a hard place.		2025 Directed by: Andy Hines Screenplay by: Andy Hines, Adam Baldwin Based on the song by Adam Baldwin Starring: Stephen Amell, Stephen McHattie, Auden Thornton

The Devil Wears Prada 2: Movie Review

A sequel with a perfect premise and then starts repeating itself.

For most of the last twenty years, the cast of The Devil Wears Prada has said they would return for a sequel if the right story presented itself. It is indeed the right story, or at least the right premise, and any sequel that can get off on the right foot can keep itself upright as it walks the rest of the way down the runway.		2026 Directed by: David Frankel Screenplay by: Aline Brosh McKenna Starring: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway
