Hilarious throwback film meets a slew of new releases and my weekend of movies couldn’t have been better! I mean…given the circumstances. But still! Lots of originality in what I saw and perhaps something that will make it in my top ten list at the end of the year. We shall see!
Read moreRuth Ware – One by One Book Review
I’m obviously a big fan of Ruth Ware, but let me lead with saying that One by One might be my favorite of her novels! And that’s including her debut, In a Dark, Dark Wood! That’s high praise people. This is a murder mystery at its finest, a la Murder on the Orient Express, only it’s at a lush ski resort.
Read moreTed Lasso – Season 1 Review
Let me just start off saying that I had some real doubts about Ted Lasso. As much as I like Jason Sudeikis, the premise of this show just seemed a little lame. A football coach with a slight southern accent gets chosen to coach an English Primier League football team. He’s clearly out of his depth, and I was nervous that the show would solely rely on those out of the loop jokes. Well, joke’s on me. This show was an actual delight to watch and I already can’t wait for the second season (it was renewed five days after its initial release)!
Read moreThe Boys – Season 2, Episode 7
So many exploding heads! Or crushed heads? I’m still convinced that the escapee from last week’s hospital encounter is behind this somehow. And come on, from a show like The Boys, does exploding heads really seem like that big of a surprise? Well, it shouldn’t if you’ve been watching.
Read moreAWOLNATION Live Stream Concert Review
After scouring the internet for a little bit, I was able to find a few more live stream concerts taking place, and first up on that list was AWOLNATION! Now, I should have seen these guys play back in June, but again, the pandemic has ruined all fun things this year (at least). The tour would have be in support of their new album that was released earlier this year, Angel Miners and the Lightening Riders. If you recall, I did give that album a pretty tepid review, but I still love this band so much that it was a no-brainer to show them some love and buy a ticket to this “virtual concert.”
Read moreExtended Movie Weekend
I say “extended” as if I watched a bunch of movies over a four day period, but the sad reality is that I didn’t. In fact, it was almost normal. I only managed to watch four films this weekend, and while I’m a little disappointed in myself, the total of movies I watched in September is kind of ridiculous. Anyways, check out what I found worth watching with a little time off this weekend.
Read moreFargo – Season 4 Premiere, Episodes 1 & 2
After three long years and a coronavirus setback later, the fourth season of Fargo has finally arrived! And while I approached it with some trepidation seeing Chris Rock as the top billing, I still have so much faith in this season being as fantastic as the rest. They surely started off well! With the slight cliffhanger at the end of the second episode, it’s definitely left me itching for more. Without giving everything away, here’s a high level overview of what went down in the season premiere.
Read moreBook Review – Killing Eve: Endgame by Luke Jennings
I have finally reached the end of the Killing Eve saga (in the written word at least) and it was quite a satisfying adventure. All-encompassing, I got to experience action, love, and all the dirty and grimy bits in between. Again, seeing as I haven’t watched the show, I do wonder how this novel stacks up to the adaptation. I would like to hope that they looked to Jennings’ original text for at least most of what happened, or at the very least, took each novel’s premise as a base for each season.
Read moreDefending Jacob Miniseries Review
I keep chugging along through shows with my new Apple+ subscription, and next on my list was a show I was really excited about when I first saw an advertisement for it, Defending Jacob. Sure, it’s got everyone’s favorite Captain America, Chris Evans, and Downton Abbey‘s Michelle Dockery, but the premise just sounded so intriguing that I was going to watch it regardless of its leads.
Read moreConcert Review: Bad Suns
Another weekend, another livestream concert. Actually, I’m saying this as if I’ve participated in a lot of them when in fact it’s only been my second one. While Anberlin was pretty great, I was very excited for and had high hopes for this concert put on by Bad Suns. I discovered this band back in 2014 with the release of their single, “Cardiac Arrest,” and I’ve sort of been obsessed with them ever since. Specifically their first full length effort, Language and Perspective, which is exactly what they were going to play through this Saturday!
