Only five episodes in and we’ve already reached rookie show, Big Sky‘s winter finale. That’s right, we’ve got to wait a whole agonizing month (my sister’s words, not mine) to figure out what the heck is going to come after that insane cliffhanger! More on that in just a bit.

Book Review: The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon
I consider myself someone who is well-versed in the career of Peter Sarsgaard, but there are plenty of his films that I have not seen. One of those is The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, which was an adaptation of Michael Chabon’s 1988 novel of the same name. Although, after seeing the abysmal Rotten Tomatoes score and learning that a few of the character’s weight of importance was changed quite a bit, it seemed like something I wanted to skip. So far, I have, but the story itself seemed rather enticing, so I decided to read it!
Read moreAnother Round Film Review
As a die-hard fan of Hannibal, I have been obsessively trying to get my hands on Mads Mikkelsen’s latest film, Another Round. This Danish film has been getting lots of love and critical acclaim since its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s also been entered as Demark’s entry into the 93rd Academy Awards!
Read moreEscape at Dannemora Miniseries Review
Back in 2018 when this highly praised miniseries, Escape at Dannemora, came out I had watched the first two episodes because, you know, free Showtime. After that, it just sort of fell off my radar. I knew with the caliber of actors in the show that it would do well during awards season, and it did! Sometimes that’s all I need to know. Also, the show itself wasn’t that big of a mystery since it was based on real life events that took place only a few years prior.
Read moreThe 24 Hour Plays
What a cool concept the 24 Hour Plays is! In a nutshell, a handful of writers, directors, and actors have just 24 hours to come up with an original idea and then at the end of the day have it performed live in front of a streaming audience (myself included this time around). Normally, 24 Hour Plays take place in a live setting in cities all over the world and include plays, musical, and monologues. Since the pandemic started, they’ve adapted the concept into a streaming capacity, which I think is a great way to keep the creative going!
Read moreMovie Marathon
Some new, some old, some new to me…a cornucopia of films this weekend! I’d say I’ve primed myself nicely for this holiday weekend’s viewing standards.
Read moreFargo Season 4, Episode 10
It’s the penultimate episode of this fourth installment of Fargo, and I’m really excited to see how it all plays out. After a cool and creative deviation last week, this week reverts back to the storylines we’re used to and plays out a string of events so delicious I might as well have been salivating while watching the episode.
Read moreSoulmates Season 1 Review
After my severe love of Ted Lasso, I learned that one of the stars and writers, Brett Goldstein, had another show premiering on AMC and I was pretty much all in! Add to the fact that Soulmates touted stars such as Sarah Snook and Bill Skarsgaard as part of its cast and I was even more sold. That it was also an anthology made it even more intriguing.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
Unlike October, I have totally been slacking this month! Last week I didn’t watch a single film and this week I only got three in before my internet crapped out on me. A disappointing turn of events, but there is still time (and a holiday weekend) to catch up! Also, a fun fact about this trio of movies – they were all only an hour and a half! I love a good movie that can get their point across without dragging it past the two hour mark. It’s just not necessary sometimes and I think more filmmakers need to take note.
Read moreFargo – Season 4, Episode 8
Well, well, well. Things have finally taken a turn for the interesting on Fargo, and I’m here for it! There were apparitions, backstabbing, and (unexpected) reunions. I won’t keep you hanging!
