Full disclosure: Summer is my least favorite of seasons. It’s usually just the months I endure to get back to Fall. But I do have some great summer recommendations for books, films and tv. That I think very much fit the summer vibe we all like: beaches, fun, frolicking, sharks and hot drama pirates. All … More Great Summer Recommendations: Beaches, Music, Frolicking, Sharks & Drama Pirates
It’s been a very spotty year so far but I do have some favorites. Well I have some favorites of the year so far and then I have one show I just went down the rabbit hole with that has the potential to be a favorite of all time. So we’ll save the books and … More Favorites of the Year So Far (and one Obsession!)
Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow is so wildly adaptable for a film that it gives me great hope it’s already on James Gunn’s list for the new (except his stuff) DC. It needs some depth which a good screenwriter can easily supply but it really is just ripe for a movie. I just didn’t love the … More Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow
Say what you will about Tom Hanks accent in Elvis my skin crawled every time he got near Austin Butler’s Elvis. He looked like he wanted to eat him and I was yelling, Get away from him!

Much like reading I’ve made it a goal to watch more international films. In 2022 I did a darned good job considering in the past I’ve usually only watched one or two subtitled films a year. Last year I did 11. Well 11 1/2 but I didn’t finish one so I’m not counting it and … More Films from Around the World (2022 List)
I actually really enjoyed Troll- it’s every disaster movie trope crammed into one movie. Which also happens to be a dark fairy tale. I mean sure there are parts that I cringed a bit. Parts that I actually teared up but still a totally fun watch. Pretty much any time someone tells me there’s a … More Troll: When Disaster Movie meets Fairy Tale
Happy New Year Everyone! I thought it would be a fun time to look ahead to some of the movies and shows that are in store for this year 🙂 Something to put on the calendar and look forward to in the rest of the long days of winter. 2023 is the year of…
