Us
Directed By: Jordan Peele
Grade: A-
I really wanted to talk about Jordan Peele’s new movie Us. So I’m going to split it here- the first part of this will be just a regular review what I thought of the movie. Then the second part spoilers.

Who’s Getting the Iron Throne…
I admit I have two modes when it comes to Game of Thrones: complaining about it and endless speculating/theorizing. So it’s been a stressful month I thought I’d have a little fun with a Who’s Gonna Get the Throne list and my percentage chances for each of the big ones.
Obviously spoilers for the show and the books up to this point and a lot of speculation about both. Disclaimer these are just my opinions and thoughts on some of the theories so if I seem to be mocking one you truly believe in I don’t mean to be but like I said I just want to have some fun 🙂
But What’s it Mean for Endgame?
So the Spider-Man Far From Home trailer was released.
They don’t get timeline specific in the trailer and I mean we all knew certain things were not going to stick- this movie was in production last year when Infinity War was out but still pretty nuts to just release a full-blown trailer anyway. Not that it gives anything away from Endgame though I am thinking this lends credibility to my number one death pick.
5 Ideas for The Walking Dead Films
So as the news has come out about several Walking Dead movies being planned I thought I’d help them out with these (somewhat) serious ideas for movies I’d actually like to see and also why AMC won’t do any of them.
FYI this is mainly about one particular character whose fate has been all over the news recently but if you don’t want to be spoiled consider yourself warned.
All the Best Deaths
Okay, this is a bit morbid perhaps but I was thinking of it in regards to Strange the Dreamer and we’re so close to Halloween so All the Best of the Deaths. By the way this isn’t a good or bad thing some of these absolutely devastated me but they were so well done!
Also there’s some pretty famous deaths in here but just in case spoilers for: The Book Thief, Crooked Kingdom, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mockingjay, Strange the Dreamer, & The Hate U Give.
Chapter 13: Muse of Nightmares
I’m currently reading this and enjoying it. Which is strange because Laini Taylor’s writing sometimes makes me crazy. I wasn’t sure what to call this. Parsing Laini Taylor? The Make Out Chapter? The I probably shouldn’t be annoyed/laughing here?
Anyway spoilers for Strange the Dreamer and up to chapter 13 of Muse. But mostly just confusion. 🙂
Films that Need a Musical Number
While I’m not the biggest fan of musicals I was watching Ella Enchanted a few weeks back and it struck me that a good musical number or two can always put a smile on my face 🙂 You just have to know when to use them.
Which naturally got me thinking about the movies that could have used them/should definitely have them!
(FYI Possible Spiderman & Wonder Woman spoilers. Nothing that isn’t out in the news but if you are trying to stay completely spoiler free for either. Please don’t read.)
Infinity War: Spoilers Talk!
Avengers Infinity War
Directed By: The Russo Brothers
Grade: A-
Thanos has finally gotten his butt into gear and no one is ready for him.
WARNING: This review has SPOILERS so please if you don’t want to read SPOILERS stop reading here! Because I generally can’t talk about this one without the SPOILERS!
Last Warning!
We Want the Myth
I Was Anastasia
By: Ariel Lawhon
Grade: B
Anastasia Romanov was one the daughters of the last Czar of Russia. The family was taken prisoner during the revolution and disappeared. (No one learned until decades later what their actual fate had been.) A couple of years later a young woman throws herself off a bridge in Germany. She later comes to be known as Anna Anderson but for many people she was the Duchess Anastasia.
I’m not sure if I should mark spoilers or not but if you aren’t aware of the real life story or it’s resolution and you want to go into the book that way- you probably shouldn’t keep reading.
I Prefer Aidan to the Humans
Obsidio
By: Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Grade: B-/B
On the one hand yeah, I finished Obsidio, knocking off another series on my list! Whoo-hoo! On the other hand after completing the Illuminae Series I can’t help but feel I prefer the unstable morally questionable AI to any of the humans.
Yep.
Aidan over anyone.
