I am severely disappointed in myself with how long it took me to watch the third season of The Boys. Even though it still ended up being a stellar season (as expected), for some reason I just wasn’t as hype to watch it as the other two. I think a part of the reason is that I should have watched the episodes as they aired, instead of waiting for them all to watch at once. While fun, the show is intense.

Read moreAnne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire – Season 1 Review
Now, for those that do not have AMC+, there will be SPOILERS ahead for the first season of the televised adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire.
There, now that you’ve been sufficiently warned, let’s get into it. Of course, I will be making comparisons to the 1994 film of the same name I only recently watched, but you’ll have to wait for me to actually read the book before I can compare the show to its source material. Regardless, it does seem that both critics and fans of the novels were also big fans of this series. I, myself, was also quite intrigued with this series and frankly I’m bummed that I now have to wait god knows how long for the second season (already renewed, by the way). Oh well, let’s talk about what went down.

Read moreBook 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.

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.

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!
