🎬 Film Fridays!

Valentine’s Day weekend. My recommendation for this Friday is Boomerang (1992).

Smooth, funny, and stylish. Boomerang flips the rom-com with swagger, sharp humor, and a charismatic Eddie Murphy at his peak.

🎬 Film Fridays!

My recommendation for this Friday is Past Lives (2023).

Tender, intimate, and devastatingly honest. Past Lives captures love, time, and longing with rare restraint and emotional precision.

What's your favourite Rom-Com? I recently watched Boomerang and realised its such a good film. The romance, the comedy, the nostalgia and the soundtrack. A top-tier film. What's yours?
