Thank the lord for some awards shows coming into my life again! Coming off the heels of the earliest awards season in history last year, it feels like an eternity has passed before this one even began. But, and I’m sure many will agree with me, the Globes decided to start the official season off with chaos, and I was somewhat alright with it. Here’s my take on the big winners of the night along with all the shocking “upsets.”

New Movie Weekend
You know, for still being in the throws of a pandemic, there are still lots of new movies coming out (that you can watch in the comfort of your own home, of course). I for one, am taking advantage of all of these new releases when I can!
Read moreBook Review: Drive and Before I Fall
I’ve been really trying to get some reading in this week, with success! Also, these are quite different reads, but neither less entertaining than the other.
Read moreMega Movie Weekend
I gave myself a long weekend, so that means a bunch of movies! While the weekend’s viewings started out light and fun, they eventually morphed into a more serious territory, which I really enjoyed! To be frank, none of these movies were bad, and there was one that rose above the rest, but you can’t go wrong adding any of these titles to your future watch-list.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
Ah, back to normal viewing levels this weekend after last week’s insanely busy slate full of Sundance Film Festival entries. Actually, I’d consider this a pretty low count! And truth be told, none of these were real winners despite the hype for at least one of them.

Love the reliability of network television in that I get new episodes every week. Yes, it’s nice that certain streaming services dump all of their content at once, but sometimes you never know when you’re going to see that next season (here’s looking at you, Special!). Network television reliably airs weekly in the spring and fall, with a winter break. I love it. Anyways, here’s what happened this week in drama.

I realize we’re almost to the new weekend, but I felt the need to highlight some other new films I managed to squeeze in between all of my Sundance selections!

And they keep on coming! The Sundance Film Festival is a week-long endeavor, so that means while ideally I’d get to watch everything I want on the weekend, realistically there are some I’ve got to wait for. But they are worth the wait! Also, it worked out for me that none of these interfered with my day job! Another strong lot of films, so let’s get into it!
Read moreI May Destroy You – Limited Series Review
I’m glad I finally got the time to watch this insanely buzzed about show, I May Destroy You. It’s sure to be snatching up a bunch of awards in the coming months, and I love a little indie show with a lot of love. Truth be told, this wasn’t my favorite, but that’s probably got more to do with the fact that it wasn’t like a typical show that I watch. Nothing can deny the talent that lives within show’s creator Michaela Coel, and she took us all on a very personal and sometimes wild ride.

You know, for still being in the midst of a pandemic that keeps pushing back the release of so many films, there is still a boatload of new films to be seen! Yes, my Film Independent membership certainly helps with this, but if you look they are there. You just have to be more open to some indie titles!
