Despite the goofy ass name, The Director Who Buys Me Dinner happened to be a really cute and interesting KBL series.

The Day of the Jackal – Season 1 Review
With my sister’s one month subscription to Peacock nearly ending, I managed to squeeze in this British crime-thriller just before time ran out. And boy was The Day of the Jackal worth it!
Read moreStray Kids – HOP, Album Review
Having almost been into K-Pop for a full year now, I am absolutely shaken at how quickly these groups turn over new music. Stray Kids for example. HOP is their third release for 2024.
Read moreGG Precinct – Season 1 Review
Marry My Dead Body has been one of the most delightful movie finds for me this year, so imagine my pure joy in learning that a series based off those characters was in the works! The internet didn’t give me much to go off of, only the name of the series, GG Precinct, and that it was indeed headed to Netflix. Only after seeing Gingle Wang at TIFF did I decide to look again and it had already dropped a couple of weeks prior!

Could have done better, but I could have done worse this weekend. All solid films, though!
Read moreBump Up Business & OnlyOneOf
I didn’t think I’d be adding another K-Pop group so soon to my roster after Omega X, but my friend had me way too intrigued to check out OnlyOneOf.
Read moreFan Art Friday – Park Seonghwa
As a Christmas gift to a new friend who’s acted as my K-Pop Sherpa this year, she deserved nothing more than a drawing of her favorite ATEEZ member. I personally love the contrast here.
Read moreTwo-Week Movie Review
Ever since I got back from my trip I’ve been all off balance watching movies. And that’s a bad thing! This is a time of year when all of the good stuff goes to theaters, so I had some work to do.
Y2K – SNL’s Kyle Mooney and all of the greatest hits from 1999 means that this movie was a great time. Was it the best comedy I’ve seen this year? I wouldn’t say so, but it was still lots of fun with a stellar cast to boot!
Gladiator II – Having only seen the original Gladiator in college, I feel like I was a little more fresh on what went down almost 25 years ago. In this film, Maximus’ son is put to the test without knowing who he really is. Denzel Washington stole the show for me, though.
The Order – Watching this film about an extremely radical white supremacist group in the 70s work through a book to start a war with the people who “took everything” from them and how it parallels to the 2020 insurrection was actually pretty scary. Terrific drama that I wish I would have watched at TIFF earlier this year.
The Holdovers – Movie club dictated that I re-watch this, but you know I don’t mind it! I was shocked to hear that the concensus was that this film was “heavy, sad, and depressing.” I still felt a great deal of happiness this second time through. I suppose I took away the found family aspect of it instead. Still a treat!
Kraven the Hunter – Wow. This one was so bad, and projected to be so that Sony Marvel said this is it for them. I would love to see Disney Marvel take some of these characters and expand upon them, but it seems bleak. Even the hotness factor of this film couldn’t save the flimsy characterization and lines like “it’s Kraven, with a K.”
Oh, Canada – Perhaps the most confusing Paul Schrader film I’ve seen, but he still has such a unique and alluring filmmaking style. In this, a dying documentary filmmaker is reflecting on his past which involves a lot of infidelity and abandonment. This guy was a real piece of work.
The Killer’s Game – I would liken this to a lesser John Wick, though it was still fun to watch. Dave Bautista has amazing chemistry with Sofia Boutella, but bulk of his work in this film were him killing fellow assassins after he tries cancelling a contract he put on himself after mistakenly learning he only has three months to live.
Book Review: Home Is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose
With a book titled Home Is Where the Bodies Are plastered onto a VHS sleeve, you know I picked up Jeneva Rose’s book as soon as I saw it.
Read moreHazbin Hotel – Season 1 Review
Generally speaking, animated shows and movies are just not my jam anymore. That’s why, when a friend recommended Hazbin Hotel to me, I was wary to give it a chance. But when I saw that almost the entire voice cast was going to be present at Galaxycon, I decided to watch it.
