Whew! About about a month ago I sat down to watch the HBO miniseries starring my main man, Mark Ruffalo, as twins in I Know This Much is True. After finishing all six installments, I really liked it and decided to bite the bullet and read the 900 page book of the same name. I figured with that much in writing, the show surely missed details, but I was wrong!

Another weekend means more movies! I’ve decided to hold off on watching my Cleveland International Film Festival selections for next weekend since there were some new ones out this weekend. Plus, I finally got the chance to hang out indoors with a trusted friend since we’re all vaccinated! Majority rules.
Read moreSilicon Valley – Season 1
After spending some quality time with dramatic shows and movies, I’ve decided there are still so many excellent comedies out there that I’ve never had time to dedicate to! In that case, I made the executive decision to start an HBO classic, Silicon Valley. A good friend of mine recommended this to me a while back, and she clearly knows me well, because I found this first season pretty darn hilarious.
Read moreFan Art Friday: AFI
I know I just posted a drawing of AFI a few weeks ago, but they just dropped two more new singles and another music video. They deserve more recognition with an old drawing of mine. After the realization that I haven’t got any new drawings of AFI, that’s going to change before Bodies drops in June! But for now, enjoy.
A Discovery of Witches – Season 1
I first heard about A Discovery of Witches, based on Deborah Harkness’ All Souls trilogy, back in 2018 just before it was about to come out. Unfortunately, it wasn’t going to be available on anything I was already paying for, so I vowed to watch it some day in the future. Well, enough of the future has passed that the second season has already came and went, so I decided it was time to make it happen! That, and a friend of mine declared how much she liked it.
Read more2021 SAG Awards
Another new awards ceremony format entered the fold, as the SAG awards were also held at home. In fact, unlike most of the other that have tried a loose hybrid, the SAG awards were basically all from Zoom. No one interacted with anyone really. It was also the weakest attendance from the nominees I have seen thus far. Anyway, more recapping coming your way.
Read moreThis Weekend’s Movies in Review
Aside from the Monsterverse’s latest, there wasn’t really anything new that came out this past week. With all that freedom, I became a bit nostalgic and decided to give a couple titles a re-watch. One of those was a good idea, and the other really wasn’t, but I never claimed to make good decisions all the time! Anyway, this week’s slate was a pretty decent one all around.
Read moreDes Miniseries Review
It’s been a bit of a week, but I managed to squeeze in Des, a creepy and disturbing three-part miniseries about real life Scottish serial killer, Dennis Nilsen. After being shown an add for this show countless times (they know me so well) and my recent watch of David Tennant in Camping, I felt like I had to give this short series a go. It was well worth the watch, and just like any other serial killer you’ve heard about, their gruesome acts are still endlessly fascinating.
Read moreNostalgic Movie Weekend
I say nostalgic because most of what I watched was on the older side. Some were new to me, while others I just revisited, but you know I made time for some new films, too. Who would I be if I didn’t? Let’s take a stroll down memory lane first.
Read moreAlbum Review: Machine Gun Kelly – Tickets to My Downfall
Admittedly, even though Machine Gun Kelly is from my neck of the woods, I’ve never really given his music much of a chance in the past. A large part of that has to do with the fact that he’s primarily a rapper, which just isn’t really my cup of tea. Yes, I’ve seen him at rock and emo shows, both as a fan and as a performer, but I just attributed that to the fact that he was local. Turns out, he can make some really good emo and punk music! Let his new album, Tickets to My Downfall, put all your fears to rest.
