When not writing film and tv reviews, Jami is expanding her collection of colorful sunglasses, lifting weights, and working her day job as a Digital Advertising Director. An alumnus of NYU Tisch for Film/TV, Jami made Los Angeles her home in the early 2000s and continues her quest to find the very BEST tacos of all time.
If you’re a fan of composers, conductors, and classical music, THE YELLOW TIE is just for you. Directed and co-written by Serge Ioan Celebidachi about his father, the late Romanian maestro Sergiu Celibidache, who left behind his political dynasty family in Romania to pursue his love of music across Europe and beyond.

PILLION will stay with you after you see it, perhaps for days like it has me. It’s an honest portrayal of an intimate relationship we don’t often see depicted on film. It’s both tender and rough, comforting and heartbreaking, simple and complex.…

The advance screening of the indie horror film WHISTLE disappointed, lacking originality despite a promising cast. The common "magical totem" trope fails to differentiate it from other films, and character development, particularly regarding grief, feels superficial.

A long time ago (14-15 years), in a galaxy far, far away (Hollywood), a now-closed comic-book store (Meltdown Comics) hosted comedians and other shows in their back room.
