Well I must say, the film adaptation of Miriam Toews’ All My Puny Sorrows, was actually quite faithful to the source material. Even after reading this book though, I still have no clue how someone read it and thought it should be adapted. Not that it’s not good! It’s just extremely glum.

Alrighty, because not even a week has passed since the remaining two episodes in Stranger Things‘ fourth season dropped on Netflix, I am calling out big SPOILERS for the rest of this review. So be warned.
Read moreConcert Review: Backstreet Boys
Yes, you are reading that right! Last night, I went with a group of high school friends and headed to the middle of nowhere to catch my 90s musical obsession, the Backstreet Boys.
Read moreHoliday Movie Weekend
You know, I set some lofty goals for movie-watching this weekend, but they just didn’t come to be. Books, family, fun times, and Stranger Things got in the way, but the haul was still nothing to sneeze at. Hopefully I can make up for it next week.
Read moreFrameline46 Film Festival
Even though I’m sure I would have watched some films being shown at this year’s Frameline Festival, it definitely helped that I won a survey last year and earned myself a gold membership. That means my name showed up in the program! Now, I wasn’t flying out to San Francisco to participate in the in person festivities, but lucky for me they had an encore streaming week!

Even though Pretty Little Liars has never been a part of my life, a lot of other Lucy Hale projects have been. Not all of them are hits by any means, but I like the passion she puts behind her work and there’s no denying she’s a stunner. So, to honor her, here’s a drawing!

Yay, new Foals!! I know I’m being selfish because they released two full albums about six months apart from each other back in 2019, but I was ready for new music! They finally delivered, as a new three-piece, with Life Is Yours.

It’s been so long since a full season of Barry has hit HBO! But it’s back, and I got to it pretty quick, if I do say so myself. And I, just like plenty of other people, loved it.

This HBO Max miniseries is based off the documentary of the same name that was fairly recently all the rage on Netflix. Well, now this story has finally made its way to me.
Read moreThe Black Phone – Movie & Short Story Review
It took maybe the first ten seconds of the trailer for The Black Phone to convince me that I was going to see it. Now, that was supposed to be in January, but things happen and here we are now in June. Regardless, I definitely found the film worth the wait, and then I purposely waited to read the short story until I saw the film.
