After months of putting it off, solely based on hype, all those Emmy wins finally convinced me to watch Fleabag! And it was a treat!

Zombieland: Double Tap Review
Nostalgia came back for the weekend with Zombieland: Double Tap. It’s like ten years never even passed (except for maybe Abigail Breslin) on this quest to survive hoards of zombies.
Read moreWeekend Movie Round-up
Once again, I’m trying to make up for the abysmal job I did last month, so I high-tailed it to the theater twice this weekend! First up was the long awaited (for me) Ad Astra. I know there was a lot of hype around this movie, but it being about space, I was a little skeptical.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review: Brittany Runs a Marathon & Hustlers
I realize we’re already half way through the week, but that doesn’t discredit the movies I did see this weekend! Neither were knockouts, but they were both memorable in very different ways.
Read moreNew Show Review: Dead to Me
Okay, so technically Dead to Me isn’t a new show, but when I started it many months ago it was! Even though this show only consisted of ten half hours segments, I got half way through when I decided I needed to watch all of Stranger Things and Animal Kingdom, along with shoving in some MTV reality trash. And so here we are, finally finished with this dark comedy, and quite frankly it was a delight! Not the best show I’ve ever seen, but some quality acting and A+ delivery.
Read moreMovie Rental Review: A Vigilante, Lying and Stealing
Not to much came to the theaters this weekend, so I decided to take a look at my list of movies that have been out for a little while that I’ve been meaning to see. Since my local video store got shut down, and I’m too stubborn to stream most things, I went to a nearby Red Box to see what they had – so many good options is what! I settled on two short, but well reviewed movies: A Vigilante and Lying and Stealing.
Read moreWhere’d You Go, Bernadette Movie Review
Saturday night, while my sister and a friend went to go see 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, I went to go see, by myself, in an empty theater, the newly released Where’d You Go, Bernadette. A lot of people would be very uncomfortable with that, my sister included, but I think it’s sort of awesome! And the fact that it’s happened to me twice in one month (The Art of Self Defense) means that people are sleeping on some pretty good cinema!
Read moreMovie Review: Good Boys
Since I’ve got a fairly busy weekend ahead of me, my sister and I decided to go see the Seth Rogan produced, Good Boys, last night. This was hands down the funniest movie I’ve seen all year! It was absolutely hysterical. I will say that since I’ve only seen Jacob Tremblay in dramas, and he’s been previously nominated for a SAG award, it was hard for me to reconcile seeing him in this raunchy comedy. Either way, it was fantastic.
Read moreOnce Upon a Time…In Hollywood was a Bit of a Letdown
Look, I say that, but I did enjoy it. It was classic Tarantino in many ways and that made me very happy, but it was also just a bit sluggish and disconnected. But after the great disappointment that was The Hateful Eight, I was at least more pleased with this subject matter. It also had what I loved about Inglorious Basterds, in that it focused on real historical events, and then just turning them on its head for a different/better outcome. And the gore, let’s not forget the gore! I could have used a little more, but the final scene in the movie made up for it for the most part.
Read moreComedy Movie Review: Stuber
After Friday’s epic fail of a movie, I was hopeful that Stuber was going to be a better ride – and it was! The film follows Vic, a cop looking to take down the drug trafficker who gunned down his partner, and Stu, a part time Uber driver just looking to not rock the boat in his everyday life. That all changes when Vic gets in his car!
