Virginia Film Fest & Netflix’s Rebecca

The film festival magic continues, but this time with an entirely new one! Similar excellent options, although sadly some were relegated strictly to drive-in theaters. Obviously, since I do not live there I cannot attend. Sad. No worry though, because I did get to catch a film I’d had my eye one since the start of the year!

AFI Film Festival

Not much good has come out of this pandemic, so imagine my surprise when something actually awesome happens?! Film Festivals all over the world have either had to cancel or postpone, but now a large handful have caught onto the streaming bug, and this works out magically for me!

Workaholics Season 1

It’s been a while since my run with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, so I decided to tackle another long-running comedy that’s been on my bucket list for quite some time.

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch was pretty awesome.

Weekend Movie Round-up

Album Review: Will Butler – Generations

A little over five years since this Arcade Fire multi-instrumentalist’s first solo project, Will Butler releases his next odyssey, Generations. The tone shifts throughout the record, yet presents itself as a cohesive package to the listener. I know that sounds confusing, but honestly every song had something almost incredibly different to offer yet sounded like the tracks were cut from the same cloth.
