As I mentioned before, I’m sort of obsessed with Hannibal, so I decided to get in tune with the source material. Before watching the 2002 movie of the same name, I decided I first wanted to read the 1982 Thomas Harris novel, Red Dragon. I thought this would be a good way to compare how Hannibal did and then compare it to the movie afterwards. That way, I wouldn’t accidentally overlap anything that happened.

Weekend Movie Review
Two oldies and a brand spanking new movie made the cut this weekend. All were very solid choices, and varying genres! I squeezed in a comedy, some action, and drama into a very short time frame and it was exceptionally enjoyable.
Read moreMega Movie Weekend
I guess I don’t mean “mega” as in blockbusters, I just mean I watched six movies in three days. That would be a mega achievement for almost anyone, myself included. I will say though, that most of these were pretty mediocre, but that’s just the way it is sometimes. I won’t bore you with the details, so here’s my fast-take below:
Read moreWeekend Movie Round-Up
Admittedly, this weekend I watched two rather lame movies, so I decided to re-watch two others to make up for my poor decisions. Netflix and Hulu certainly let me down this weekend, so hopefully they can redeem themselves in the near future.
Read moreIndie Film Weekend
Since it was just a normal two-day weekend for me, I only managed to squeeze in two movies. To be fair, I watched a lot of shows, too! Either way, I picked two shorter films, one a bit newer with a sci-fi story, and the other was just a little bit bonkers. Let’s dive in!
Read moreWeekend Movie Marathon
I’ve had another few days off, and the weather hasn’t been all that great, so what better way to spend my than watching a butt load of movies?! There’s not, I promise. This time I chose to enjoy both new and old films, some of which I’ve already seen and some that are old, but new to me. Catch a quick summary below!
Read moreThe Death and Life of John F. Donovan
I had heard about this Xavier Dolan movie several months back and I’ve been stalking the internet ever since on how I could watch it. Well, it’s finally made its way onto several digital services, so I sat down to give The Death and Life of John F. Donovan a watch on Saturday. Sure, it was somber and serious, but I love a good drama, even in this most dramatic time.
Read moreHer Smell Movie Review
With the last day of my HBO free trial, I made sure to get in the Elisabeth Moss starring, Her Smell. This movie stuck out to me last year but I never got the chance to watch it. Following the rock band, Something She, Her Smell follows lead singer, Becky Something, and her destructive life choices.
Read moreFilm & Book Review: A Million Little Pieces
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.
Read moreMovie 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!
