They're so emotional in this film. <p><strong>The Background: </strong>Jerrica Tisdale is a freelance writer at Cinemablend. She joined the team as a freelancer in 2019. She began freelance writing in 2012 (celebrating a big 10-year milestone in 2022). Over the last decade-plus, Jerrica has written for many different publications on pop culture topics, including TellTaleTV, Screenrant, Gossip and Gab, Big Brother Access, The List, Starpulse, and other entertainment sites. She's also done ghostwriting and copywriting for companies such as Groupon and Staples. If it's related to writing, Jerrica has probably done it at some point. However, her passion has always been for pop culture and entertainment topics. She grew up with a deep-rooted passion for film and television. One day, she'll finally be brave enough to write a script or ten thousand scripts. Jerrica considers her true talent to be researching, or as she likes to call it internet detective work. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What She's Into: </strong>Her favorite shows include Parks and Rec, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Big Brother, Veronica Mars, Fleabag, Barry, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and British panel shows. Her favorite movies include Whiplash, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ruby Sparks, Clueless, What We Do In The Shadows, Atonement, and most movies by David Fincher. Jerrica is also a major book nerd. She has a problem with buying too many books that she may never be able to read all of them, but she will surely try. Her favorite books include Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, Perfect Sound Whatever by James Acaster, anything by Oscar Wilde, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer, Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman, and anything by Khaled Hosseini, James Baldwin, Thomas Hardy, and Edgar Allen Poe. Jerrica is always searching for her next favorite but finds that to be a very hard search, so when she finds something she truly loves, she will never stop talking about it. You'll either hate that or love that about her.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What She's Excited About Right Now: </strong>Jerrica is excited that it's fall movie season, aka Oscar bait season. She plans to invest in a discount movie pass and see as many potential Oscar winners as possible. She's also going to attend virtual (and possibly in-person) screenings at the Chicago International Film Festival this October. Jerrica is also excited to read as many scary or classic novels throughout the month of October. It is spooky season. </p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>

There are many reasons to love the half-hour sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The stellar ensemble cast, with not a single weak link. The spot-on comedic tone that vacillates from silly to absurd without ever getting too broad. The genuinely compelling characters that conjure real emotions in between the jokes and punchlines. And of course, the Halloween Heists. Indeed, a staple of one of the best comedy shows of the 21st century is a holiday-centric heist episode every fall, in which the characters compete against one another to try and steal an object before time runs out. It …
One of my favorite movies at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was Nine Days. Written and directed by Edson Oda, Nine Days is a completely original film that hit me like a ton of bricks. Without giving too much away, the film takes place in a reality between life and death where Winston Duke’s (who gives a career best performance) character is responsible for deciding who will replace a person on Earth after they have died. Once the dying soul has passed, five people emerge in this in-between reality, and Duke’s character has nine days to …
The 2007 movie The Nines isn't exactly a standout in the Ryan Reynolds canon, but the film afforded Reynolds the opportunity to work with one of Hollywood's top screenwriters, John August, and now the two of them are teaming back up for the Netflix comedy Upstate. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Deadline reports that Reynolds will co-write the script with August, and the project will be developed as a starring vehicle for Reynolds. As you might imagine, he's not writing a script just to hand the thing over to Ryan Gosling. Reynolds and …
NBC comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine is getting a major Season 8 rewrite — and the reasons behind it couldn't be more important. The nationwide protests in the wake of George Floyd's murder at the hands of a handful of Minneapolis policemen have sparked necessary introspection within the film and TV corners of the world when it comes to the depiction of the police. Per longtime Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast member Terry Crews, those conversations and debates are playing a major role in the shape of the show's forthcoming season. Crews revealed all in a recent interview with Access, …
As we examine the role of law enforcement in our society, especially how cops are depicted on television, the question of Brooklyn Nine-Nine has become a somewhat difficult one. A fan favorite that survived cancelation by Fox to relocate to NBC, the story of a sometimes-goofy New York police squad features an extremely inclusive cast and sensitive writing (the cast and executive producer Dan Goor even recently donated $100,000 to bail relief). But now, people questioning the wisdom of framing so many stories with law enforcement as heroic figures, it's little surprise that last week on …
A third Legally Blonde movie has been in the works for quite some time, but the sequel just landed some serious pedigree on the script side. Per THR, Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor have signed on to write the script for MGM’s Legally Blonde 3, which will see Reese Witherspoon reprising her role as Elle Woods. Kaling, of course, cut her teeth writing on the U.S. version of The Office before creating and starring in her own series The Mindy Project. On the feature side of things, she wrote and starred in the 2019 comedy Late Night, and …
If it's two things we could really use right now, it's new movies and communal joy. (And okay maybe a vaccine for COVID-19 would land somewhere pretty high on that list.) For a healthy dose of both, feast your eyes on Project 88 - Back to the Future Too, a completely fan-made feature-length sequel to Back to the Future Part 2 created by more than 300 people from nine countries, all from the safety of their individual quarantines. "The idea was to split the movie into 88 scenes," reads the film's description, "and find people …
