Book Review: Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll
Full disclosure, the only reason I even picked up this novel, Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll, was because I saw the Netflix trailer and was intrigued by its mystery. That’s sad that Netflix movies are what’s driving my reading choices, but when People magazine is the only source for “new hits,” I suppose I shouldn’t be that surprised.
Read moreMr. Harrigan’s Phone – Short Story and Film Review
The literary horror family are getting all the film adaptations this year! First, Joe Hill’s short story, The Black Phone, gets an awesome Ethan Hawke led masterpiece, and now Stephen King’s Mr. Harrigan’s Phone is getting a similar treatment?! Count me in! Admittedly, the latter had a rather quiet release on Netflix just a couple of weeks ago, but I enjoyed it just the same.

I made time for a lot of the scarier stuff this weekend, but there were a couple others that I knew I wanted to make time for.
Read moreBook Review: White Noise by Don DeLillo
So look, back almost a year ago to the day I managed to land some work as a background actor in the upcoming film adaptation of this Don DeLillo novel of the same name, White Noise. Other than the basic premise that was described in the casting call, I didn’t know anything about this story. Thus, after filming, I decided to give this novel a try. And just in the nick of time I’ve finished it! The final film product is due to hit theaters (and Netflix) at the end of December!

It was kind of a hodge-podge this weekend, and not nearly as many movies were viewed as I would have liked. Still, here’s what made the cut.
Read moreLove, Victor – Final Season Review
You read that right, this most-recent, third season of Love, Victor is indeed its last. Based off the novel and then the movie of the same name Love, Simon, we’ve followed Victor over the course of the most personally eventful year (YEAR?!) of his life.
Read moreBook Review: The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum
Well, geez. My friend has some dark taste in reading materials. Off the heels of her recommendation for Pretty Girls, I maybe stupidly didn’t give myself a break and picked up Jack Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door.
Read moreTokyo Vice – Season 1 Review
There was a lot going on in this taut crime drama, Tokyo Vice. It is the last on my list of HBO Max shows, for now, and this show delivered a strong finish.
Read moreWe Own This City – Miniseries Review
As a somewhat newfound Jon Bernthal fan, I was really excited to get to watch this six-part miniseries, We Own This City, based off of actual events that happened within the Baltimore Police Department over the better part of two decades. I was even more excited because I knew it was written by the same people who were responsible for the critically acclaimed, The Wire, and that it was going to be directed by King Richard‘s Reinaldo Marcus Green.
