Okay, so technically it’s a little early for Christmas- though that and the end of the year are approaching at the speed of holiday shopping. So I thought I’d do the End of Year Tag originally created by Ariel Bisette over on Youtube.
It’s technically for books but I’m a tag rule bender so I’m adding movies to…
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
Directed by: Lasse Hallstrom & Joe Johnston
Grade: C
How does one get to live in a realm of sweets? Do I need a passport? A visa? Because I would be all over that. Get to wear over the top dresses, have cotton candy hair and probably live in an actual gingerbread house. Life goals.
One of these days I’m going to have the appropriate amount of candy for handing out on Halloween. I swear I half want to do some neighborhood census in September. Like do you have kids? Will you be trick-or-treating past my house? Does anybody ever nail the correct amount needed?
I hope everyone had a great Halloween!
Anyway we’re officially in November! Clocks change this weekend and it’s my favorite time of the year. Hoping my mood will improve with the time 🙂

I wanted to do one more tag for the ghostly season because my brain is all over the place. Christmas decorations are coming out at the stores and brain is pretty much headed there. The end of the bloody year.
That’s a scary thing in and of itself right now 🙂
This tag was created on Youtube by Fiksidust.
It Follows
Directed By: David Robert Mitchell
Grade: B+
So despite chickening out of Halloween (was there ever any doubt?) for some strange reason I was determined to watch a scary movie for October’s Blind Spot. It Follows seemed like a perfect one.
I mean after all its not some serial killer sneaking in and hacking you to death. Just don’t have sex with anyone whose seeing things that other people don’t and is possibly cursed. Which is a really good rule anyway.
I’ve been going through my DVD collection recently and found a couple old favorites that are good for Fall, for rainy days, generally any time.
They aren’t perfect films and some didn’t age as well as other perhaps but I enjoyed them, they always make me smile and are well worth catching if you haven’t seen them already!
Screw the whole Inner Goddess thing. If there’s a voice in my head it would probably be Venom so below we work through some movie thoughts and questions with the alien (that doesn’t want to be called a parasite!)
I also feel like I should say I have no knowledge of the comic book character.
A Star is Born
Directed By: Bradley Cooper
Grade: A-
A Star is Born had a ton of hype all of which I was soaking up. I love movies or anything about artists and I love music and I’ve been waiting for this one since the first trailer dropped so there was no way in hell I wasn’t going to be checking this one out opening weekend.
After watching Doctor Who since 9 (Christopher Eccleston) and giving up sometime around the birth of Clara- who annoyed the hell out of me- it was so much fun to check out the new series and really enjoy it this Sunday!
Train to Busan
Directed By: Sang-ho Yeon
Grade: A
I love finding a movie where my first thought is, “Eh, I’ll just try it because it’s not really my thing,” and then absolutely loving it. Which pretty much happened with Train to Busan. I flipped it on like I’ll just watch a couple of minutes and catch up on it later cause I have too much to do.
2 hours later I still have too much to do and I’m crying (again) over a zombie movie.
