I’m trying to squeeze in as many shows as I can before all my fall programs start back up in a couple weeks. So with that I decided to get my hands on a 2012 mini-series that I have had on my list for a while, Political Animals.

Fan Art Friday: Rafael Nadal (U.S. Open Special)
Since Rafa is playing his semi-final match as we speak, I wanted to pay tribute to the one athlete I’m obsessed with. Enjoy!
New Show Review: Dead to Me
Okay, so technically Dead to Me isn’t a new show, but when I started it many months ago it was! Even though this show only consisted of ten half hours segments, I got half way through when I decided I needed to watch all of Stranger Things and Animal Kingdom, along with shoving in some MTV reality trash. And so here we are, finally finished with this dark comedy, and quite frankly it was a delight! Not the best show I’ve ever seen, but some quality acting and A+ delivery.

Not to much came to the theaters this weekend, so I decided to take a look at my list of movies that have been out for a little while that I’ve been meaning to see. Since my local video store got shut down, and I’m too stubborn to stream most things, I went to a nearby Red Box to see what they had – so many good options is what! I settled on two short, but well reviewed movies: A Vigilante and Lying and Stealing.

I did it people! I am now current on TNT’s drama Animal Kingdom, and it was a wild ride!
Read moreBook Review: The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
I’m sure I said this a few posts back, but I feel like I’ve been reading like a fiend these past couple months, and it continues with The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware! I was a huge fan of her first novel, In a Dark, Dark Wood, so I’m always excited to see what she’s got next. Earlier this year I read her latest installment, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, and that sucker stuck with me. Needless to say, I was very surprised when a new novel dropped just a few months after finishing that up – but it was a happy surprise!

My sister and I have been looking to go see psychological thriller, Luce, for a long while now, and an indie theater near us finally got it! Totally worth the wait!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Bad Suns
Bad Suns have been one of my favorite bands since I heard their first single, “Cardiac Arrest,” back in 2014. Three albums later and a new tour starting up in a few weeks, and I still love them! I think they also might be tied for the top as one of the bands I’ve seen live the most (twice in one week once)! I’ve also had the pleasure of gifting them some artwork in the past and they were gracious enough to share it on their website at the time! Some of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and seriously talented, too. Go catch them if they’re coming to your city!
MTV Video Music Awards Recap & Review
As a person who only tolerates top 40 music, I should really stop watching this program, because the VMAs are truly a top 40 showcase. With that being said, I forwarded through probably 80 percent of the show, stopping only to see the nominees and winners, along with the performances by Lizzo and part of the Jonas Brothers. I am always impressed with Lizzo’s pipes and stage movement, and I am always morbidly curious about the Jo-Bros.
Read moreMovie Review: Angel Has Fallen
A few months back when I first saw the beginning of the trailer for Angel Has Fallen, it really took me a long minute to figure out why this looked so familiar. It’s because it’s the third film based on the 2013 original, Olympus Has Fallen. It’s been three years since its follow up London Has Fallen was released, and I really should have watched them to remind myself about what the heck actually happened. I didn’t though, and I ended up just fine.
