Puppy Love (Amazon Studios): A Movie Review by Duck And Star
Friends, when it comes to Puppy Love, it’s super-ducking strange for a duck to dig a film about dogs, but just because a movie star might *actually eat you* doesn’t make them less talented. And this cast, canines included, did a DUCK of a great job of making Puppy Love compelling. Even to a duck. Continue reading

Bringing Up Baby (1938) Reviewed by Duck and Star
Friends, we decided it was time to review some classic romances, and what’s more classic than Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and a sweet-hearted leopard? It’s a ducking hard question to answer. But the truth is simple: When we watched Bringing Up Baby, we laughed so hard we cried. Continue reading

Duck T. Reviews The Christmas Setup (Lifetime Movie)
Lifetime’s first movie with gay protagonists? This duck gives a giant flippers up to that! Fran Drescher as Mum is an absolute ducking joy. She’s all heart and quite a bit of sparkle, and doesn’t need to be convinced of anyone’s validity. And she also impishly… Continue reading

About US
Welcome! I’m Star Tavares. I am queer and nonbinary, and my hubby Jake is trans. Our plush duck is called Duck and is super-ducking awesome too. He likes to call himself an award-winning duck because Jake and I wrote a screenplay about him that won some awards, and who are we to argue?
The thing is, we used to publish in the romance genres, but after we came out about our genders, we thought romance didn’t want us anymore. But you know what, toots? We were wrong.
Now we’ve rebuilt our confidence and are back to living our Romancey Pants life, writing, reviewing romance movies, reading romance novels, and doing a whole lot of stretching. (Did I mention we’re getting older?)
Want to know more about Star’s writing credits? Under another name, Star has published romance novels and novellas with presses like Harper Collins and Cleis, and has won awards for their shorter works from places like Glimmer Train, Screencraft, and Narrative, where they also worked as an editor. More recently, Star’s nonfiction about gender identity has appeared in The New York Times and at Huffington Post Personal.
Since Jake, who is also a romance author, is starting to add more reviews here (along with Duck’s best frenemy Sir Mallard Jones) watch this space for more about him and his career.
