Film & Book Review: A Million Little Pieces

March 31, 2020March 31, 2020admin

Several months back, I saw that an actor I really admire (yes, from Kick-Ass), was going to lead an adaptation of the memoir, A Million Little Pieces. When I think back to the time that the book came out, I remember I thought the cover was really cool, but memoirs aren’t really something I search out to read. I also remember a bunch of controversy surrounding the book, but I couldn’t remember why. Turns out, not all of the memoir was true.

Movie Mania!

I may not be able to see brand spanking new movies in the theater, but that doesn’t stop me from watching a myriad of older ones that have been on my radar for quite some time. It also helps that I have cable and a bunch of streaming services (priorities, people!). All of that combined with a few days I took off means I got to watch a bunch of movies!

Mockumentary Double-Feature

I’ve got free HBO for the week, so I finally watched two films I’ve been dying to watch for quite some time now: 7 Days in Hell and Tour de Pharmacy. From the great mind of Andy Samberg, these films make fun of two very niche sports, tennis and cycling. They also focus on very specific times from them: the 2010 Wimbledon match that lasted three days, and doping.

Middle of the Road Movie Weekend

Well folks, now that no new films are hitting the theaters, it’s my time to catch up on some older ones that I’ve had on my list. Some aren’t extremely old at all, it’s just that I didn’t watch them the week they came out.

All the Movies!

I’d like to say that with this quarantine I’ve had more time to watch movies, but that’s not true. I still work from home, and realistically, four movies in one weekend is not unheard of for me. But we can all pretend, right? Either way, I saw some fairly middle of the road films that were fairly enjoyable.
