I’ve been watching Cillian Murphy in films since middle school and he is truly a master of the craft. My first taste was being scared shitless by him in Red Eye, but my favorite of his performances has to be in the 2015 war drama Anthropoid. Since someone bought my last drawing of Cillian, I figured I could draw him again! Especially with those eyes!
Read moreBook Review: The Talented Miss Farewell by Emily Gray Tedrowe
Truthfully, I was initially drawn to The Talented Miss Farewell because it reminded me so much of Patricia Highsmith’s novel, The Talented Mr. Ripley. And now that I’ve seen that film I would really like to read the novel. Sure, did I first think this was going to be a rip off of Highsmith’s work? Yes. But even after just reading the shortest blub, I knew this was going to take a really unique and niche take on the “con man.”
Read moreBook Review: Broken Things by Lauren Oliver
What can I say? I am on a Lauren Oliver kick ever since reading the excellence that was The Vanishing Girls! Yes, Panic didn’t quite live up to my expectations, but she’s redeemed herself with Broken Things! Another complex mystery that involves a five year old murder of a best friend. Lives have been ruined and a rag-tag group slaps themselves together to try and figure out who actually did it.
Read moreOld and New Movies
You know, for still being in the midst of a pandemic that keeps pushing back the release of so many films, there is still a boatload of new films to be seen! Yes, my Film Independent membership certainly helps with this, but if you look they are there. You just have to be more open to some indie titles!
Read moreConcert Review: Avatar Age of Madness
Last night’s entry into Avatar’s Impossible Concert Experience was Age of Madness, and it was probably the most hardcore experience yet! I say that because the two records that were performed for this installment were from Hail the Apocalypse and Black Waltz. These are definitely two of their darker albums, and there is a lot more screaming involved than any of their other releases. This also makes sense as to why this was my sister’s favorite of the shows so far.
Read moreFan Art Friday: 12 Monkeys
This fan art was solely provoked by the fact that yesterday when I was watching Jeopardy with my parents, 12 Monkeys was the answer to a Bruce Willis themed question, and it made me remember that I painted something several years back in honor of that. The show specifically, but still. Enjoy!
Read moreChilling Adventures of Sabrina – Final Season
Sadly, earlier this year, Netflix announced that part four the dark supernatural show, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, would be its last. What a freaking bummer! I was a little nervous because they had filmed parts three and four simultaneously, so I wasn’t sure if it was going to get a good ending. No one likes a cliffhanger that will never get resolved! After finishing the eight episodes the other day, I was quite pleased with what went down. I’ll try to be a non-spoilery as possible going forward, so let’s go witches!
Read more9-1-1 Lone Star and Prodigal Son Review
Yay to season premieres! The start of this new year is starting to feel just a bit more normal with the premieres of shows I would typically watch at this time. It is strange though, especially given that cases are worse than ever. I suppose a vaccine helps, and for that I am thankful. Anyways, the train is still rolling on Prodigal Son, but this week also marked the return of 9-1-1 Lone Star.
Read moreConcert Review: Avatar – Age of Illusions
The second weekend of Avatar’s Impossible Concert Experience was almost as impressive as the first! I mean, you have to start off strong with brand new live content and then follow that up with a “best of” set. Naturally, like almost every sophomore effort, Age of Illusions, was somewhat disappointing. For me, anyways. I’m less familiar with their catalog than my sister, so she had a hell of a time!
Read moreNew & Old Movie Review
As I’ve said before, this Film Independent membership is coming through in spades! I got the opportunity to view three more upcoming 2021 titles, and they will generally be worth your time! Nostalgia brought me back to the rest of the titles I watched this weekend, so I got a nice balance out of it all. Let’s go!
