Trailer Tuesday: The Greatest Showman

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on December 12, 2017 by Erin ThompsonDecember 12, 2017

I’m really torn on how to feel about The Greatest Showman, the upcoming P.T. Barnum fantasy/bio pic. On one hand, I love Hugh Jackman. I’d be pretty crushed if it came out that he’s slime. I want him to be successful … Continue reading →

Saturday Shorts: Elf on the Shelf

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on December 9, 2017 by Erin ThompsonDecember 9, 2017

Oh Crypt TV, oh Crypt TV, I really love your short films…. (please read that to the tune of “Oh Tannenbaum.”) I loathe the elf of the shelf. I never had the patience. Most days, I had that moment of … Continue reading →

Weekend Movies: Five Reasons to Watch The Holiday

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on December 7, 2017 by Erin ThompsonDecember 7, 2017

I’m the first to admit that rom-coms are not my strong point. However, I’ll make an exception for 2006’s The Holiday. It’s love in the Air BNB age: two women, Iris (Kate Winslet) and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) try to get … Continue reading →

One and Only: The Fate of Mary Hatch in It’s a Wonderful Life

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on December 6, 2017 by Erin ThompsonJanuary 1, 2018

If you know me personally, you will realize right off the bat that you’re walking into a rant. Ten words or less: I hate, hate, HATE It’s a Wonderful Life. There’s really not much more I can say about that. … Continue reading →

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on December 3, 2017 by Erin ThompsonDecember 4, 2017

I don’t know if anyone else is in this boat, but has holiday shopping been kind of blah this year, or is it just me? I’ve gone out to a few stores, and not only has store turnout been so … Continue reading →

Saturday Shorts: Nutty Christmas

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on December 2, 2017 by Erin ThompsonDecember 2, 2017

Personal confession: I love nutcrackers. I have since I was a little girl. My grandparents had one, and instead of thinking it looked scary (which, frankly, some have complained about in the past, and with justifiable cause), I was fascinated … Continue reading →

Weekend Movies: Five Reasons to Watch Surviving Christmas

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on November 30, 2017 by Erin ThompsonNovember 30, 2017

Okay, before anyone jumps on me for this one: yes, this is a Ben Afflect movie. No, I do not terribly like Affleck, and yes, he and his little band of merry men are most likely shit swizzlers that have … Continue reading →

Hail to the King Vol 11 – The Mist

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on November 30, 2017 by Dan PollittNovember 30, 2017

“Frank wrote a new ending that I loved. It is the most shocking ending ever and there should be a law passed stating that anybody who reveals the last 5 minutes of this film should be hung from their neck … Continue reading →

A Lack of Clarity: Robin and “Symphony of Illumination” in How I Met Your Mother

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on November 29, 2017 by Erin ThompsonJuly 13, 2021

First thing’s first: I have a soft spot for How I Met Your Mother, despite that upon rewatch, it’s deeply disturbing. I can laugh at Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) whilst cringing at the near-constant slut-shaming of any woman who isn’t … Continue reading →
