1 Night in San Diego: Movie Review



Directionless comedy and no good jokes.

Starring Laura Ashley Samuels and Jenna Ushkowitz as Brooklyn and Hannah, 1 Night in San Diego is a girls’ buddy comedy, with some not funny attempts at comedy. Brooklyn and Hannah are two Hollywood divas. There's a vague background for Hannah, she’s semi/formerly famous from a New Jersey-set reality show and new to LA. Brooklyn thinks she’s an influencer, but no further introduction.   2020

The Giant: Movie Review



A lot of atmosphere, no story.

There feels like there must be a good movie in The Giant somewhere, but good luck finding it in between the blurry shots of street lights, close-ups of her hair and eyeball, and long tracking shots of… the moon. Yes, that’s right, the good cinematography was spent on an astronomical body which cannot emote emotion and plays no role in the movie.   2019
