Movie Monday: Cluny Brown (1946)
Right now we are in the midst of the Coronavirus quarantine, and if you are stuck at home you may be already wondering what to do. Well, luckily I have a brand new classic film you may have never heard of before to keep you entertained in these early days of quarantining! Cluny Brown, starring Charles Boyer and Jennifer Jones, is a film I stumbled upon one Saturday morning a few months ago and fell in love with the story! You will see why it is so memorable if you watch it, but I will say if you enjoy a good romance film this is the movie for you! Charles…

Movie Monday: The Clock (1945)
Valentine’s Day is upon us which calls for flowers, chocolates, and romantic movies! There are all of the go-to films that everyone talks about, but today I want to review and share a romantic movie that would be absolutely perfect for this holiday.

Barbara Stanwyck is possibly the perfect actress in all of film history to fit the role as a leading lady in My Reputation. No one else could have the same steely determination that Stanwyck displays in this film. This character must…

Movie Monday: Born Yesterday (1950)
Although this film is considered a drama, Born Yesterday can still be considered one of the best love stories in cinema history (and just in time for Valentine’s Day!). Judy Holiday and William Holden make quite this couple in this classic film! Today’s Movie Monday is dedicated to Born Yesterday! The way I see it, Born Yesterday is a love story but more importantly a film about female empowerment. Judy Holiday’s character, Billie, in this movie has been told her whole life that she wasn’t smart enough or overall good enough to do any better than the abusive, mobster Harry Brock who she is living with. This mantra held Billie…
