When I Saw Harry and Sally Again

I saw When Harry Met Sally again, for the third time….after ten years, and it felt like I was seeing it for the first time.
Something about it hit differently this time. Maybe it’s age, maybe it’s experience… but I loved how it took years, and yet they still found a way to each other. They were meant for each other. They understood each other. They were comfortable with and around each other.

It reminded me of some friendships I’ve had… the kind where you can be yourself without trying, where the conversations are unfiltered and the silences are never awkward. I loved how open Harry and Sally were with each other; that honesty, that ease, that comfort that only time and genuine care can build.

Watching it now felt like catching up with old friends. I love the movie, not just for the romance, but for how it celebrates friendship, timing, and the quiet magic of people who just get each other.

Good Old Things

Yesterday's movie review got me remembering this post from 2022. 

When I was about 19 years old, my “cousin” Gosha, in a bid to bond and create a deeper relationship with her dad began making trips to the town where I lived. Her father, who for reasons best known to him back then, had moved from the city where his family lived to the town […]

Bring it Back

I saw a movie trailer a couple of months ago. I was excited… A new romcom on the way.

I put it in my calendar and I waited.

Today is showed up on Prime Video and I was ready. I got all my evening chores done and I sat down for a treat. Only thing is, it wasn’t a treat.

The movie ‘Maintenance Required’ follows Charlie, a mechanic defending her late father’s garage from a rival shop, unaware that her online crush is the man behind it.

The performance was weak and there was no chemistry.I found myself cringing way too many times.

It was failed execution of a shot at remaking Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan’s ‘You got Mail’. I was a bit disappointed in the male lead, played by Jacob Scipio. I expected better from him, especially after seeing his performance before in Bad Boys for life alongside Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

I would give it a 2 out of 5 stars…

When will they resume making Romcoms like they used to?

Yesterday I found myself yearning for a good old romcom and I spent an hour and forty five minutes satisfying that yearning with Mrs.Winterbourne (1996).

I want to see something good like the old ones but I want something I can experience for the first time.

Someone tell them movie makers… I’m just a girl, sending a message…Asking them to bring it back like it used to be.
