Weekend Movies: Five Reasons to Watch Ingrid Goes West (2017)

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on July 19, 2018 by Erin ThompsonJuly 19, 2018

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty on the fence with Aubrey Plaza. On one hand, she’s effective in her roles as a smartass that doesn’t care what you think. On the other hand, she’s a little too good … Continue reading →

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on June 13, 2018 by Erin ThompsonJune 13, 2018

So for the past three years, I’ve been trying to cover Big Fish in time for Father’s Day. Each year, I’ve failed. Hard. I have failed so miserably. I’m like that mom that keeps telling herself she’s going to decorate … Continue reading →

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on March 14, 2018 by Erin ThompsonMay 31, 2018

Weekend Movies: Five Reasons to Watch The Shape of Water

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on January 18, 2018 by Erin ThompsonJanuary 18, 2018

The Shape of Water has something odd going for it: it’s been playing in various places while remaining absent in others for some time. For example, it came out in limited release in the U.S. in early December, then got … 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 →

Weekend Movies: Five Reasons to Watch My Life Without Me

The Backseat Driver Reviews Posted on August 17, 2017 by Erin ThompsonAugust 17, 2017

Yes, this is a heavy week already. We’re just going to deal with it (in between breaks of protests) and forge ahead with something that is, shall we say, a kick in the gut. I’m not even going to sugar … Continue reading →
