It took maybe the first ten seconds of the trailer for The Black Phone to convince me that I was going to see it. Now, that was supposed to be in January, but things happen and here we are now in June. Regardless, I definitely found the film worth the wait, and then I purposely waited to read the short story until I saw the film. As I’ve said before, the written word will always be good whether I read it before or after. The outcome for film or television adaptations varies, and typically not in the best way.

Book Review: Verity by Colleen Hoover
Well, geez. I guess I feel kind of honored that I finally got off the hold list for this wildly popular novel. To my surprise, Colleen Hoover usually writes romance novels, but tried her hand at suspense with Verity. Good for her!
Read moreSlow Horses – Season 1
Apple continues to shine with this British drama series, Slow Horses. Evidently based off of a novel by Mick Herron of the same name, this series already impressively has three more seasons lined up! That’s pretty cool! And even better, the second season is supposed to drop later this year.

It’s hard to believe I last saw Bastille five years ago, but I guess that’s what happens when half of those years are spent in a pandemic.
Read moreConcert Review: Motion City Soundtrack
You know, I’ve seen Motion City Soundtrack a number of times over the years, so when I saw a Commit This to Memory 15th anniversary tour, I was actually going to skip out. Firstly, it was scheduled in 2020, then got moved to the middle of winter in Ohio, but then the stars aligned and it got moved again and I saw them at Riot Fest. They were one of the best sets I saw that weekend and it made me remember how freaking awesome they are. So yeah, when I saw the show was approaching, I snatched up tickets.
Read moreBook Review: Breakfast with Scot by Michael Downing
On a whim a couple of weeks ago, I rented a 2005 comedy-drama, Breakfast with Scot, and was immediately taken with it. The film was warm, charming, comical, and oddly topical for 2005. After watching the film, naturally I looked it up online and found that it was based off a book by the same name written by Michael Downing. After that, it took me all of ten seconds before I had a request out for it at my local library.
