Fan Art Friday: Matthew Goode

Ever since seeing Stoker for the first time last year, I had determined that Matthew Goode is perhaps one of the best looking men on this planet. Everything I’ve seen him in since, or reflected on seeing him in only confirmed this. Also, I’d be willing to bet all the fans of A Discovery of Witches would agree with me on that title! Anyway, I wanted to pick a scene from that film and ended up with this pick! Enjoy!

Book Review: The Push by Ashley Audrain

My mother has been subscribing to People magazine even longer than I’ve been alive, so along with the the novel Girl A, Ashley Audrain’s novel The Push was featured in the same week. I love a book that sounds eerie and potentially thrilling, and that’s just what the brief reviews in the magazine provided me! I was sold and quickly got my name on the wait list for them.

Album Review: Foxy Shazam – Burn

I am a fool! It’s been way too long for me to not have realized that the recently reunited Foxy Shazam had put out a new album in December! Burn is the first release from the band since their hiatus in 2015, and I really should have been more on top of this. The only thing I really saw anything about was a reunion show that got cancelled twice ( because, you know, pandemic) and the release of the single “Burn.” Well, better late than never I suppose! Burn was a delight to listen to all the way through, and now I really can’t wait for this pandemic to be over so I can see them live again!

Film Independent Spirit Awards

It’s getting down to the wire folks! Usually, the Film Independent Spirit Awards takes place the afternoon before the Oscars, but in this unprecedented time of a pandemic, they switched their usual plan of attack by airing in a prime time slot during the week (a Thursday to be exact). Hey, I don’t care when they air, I promise I’ll be there to watch it. Normally, I would not be catching the Spirit Awards until after the fact, but this year, yours truly was a voting member, so I had to tune in!

Fan Art Friday: Elizabeth Banks

It was already one in the morning before I realized Friday had already come and gone. Sigh. I swear to you at some point I’ll be more consistent with posting fan art on Fridays. But for now, you just have to deal with me being a day late. There is reason to rejoice though! Early last week I finally finished my drawing of Elizabeth Banks! Saturday Night Live is responsible for many iconic bumpers, but Banks has crystal clear blue eyes that sort of makes it hard for her to take even just a mediocre photo. I loved this one when I saw it when she hosted a few years back, and then I realized that I’d never drawn her before! That’s shameful, given how many things I’ve seen her in. My recommendations from her filmography are Brightburn, Wet Hot American Summer (film and television show), and Love & Mercy!
