I got a little lazy for the last full weekend of August, but there were some decent picks.

Book Review: The Temperature of Me and You by Brian Zepka
I gotta say, I haven’t been totally nailing the young adult selections recently. The Temperature of Me and You by Brian Zepka just left me feeling lukewarm (pun intended).
Read moreFrameline46 Film Festival
Even though I’m sure I would have watched some films being shown at this year’s Frameline Festival, it definitely helped that I won a survey last year and earned myself a gold membership. That means my name showed up in the program! Now, I wasn’t flying out to San Francisco to participate in the in person festivities, but lucky for me they had an encore streaming week! Here’s what piqued my interest!

I promise you, Top Gun will for sure be happening next week. Instead, I watched a refreshing eclectic mix of new films this weekend.
Read moreHoliday Weekend Movie Review
Now, before you all get excited, no, I did not watch the new Top Gun movie. Mainly because I have never seen the original. Yet. Give me until next weekend and that all could change. Anyways, here’s what rounded out the month!
Read moreHeartstopper – Season 1
I saw this half hour, British, coming-of-age rom com advertised to me a number of places over the past couple of weeks, but Heartstopper just looked like something a little too young for my taste.

Read moreConcert Review: The Aces
Full disclosure, I wasn’t super familiar with The Aces when I asked my friend if she wanted to go see them in concert Friday night. I had heard a few singles on Sirius XM and knew they’d gotten a fair amount of buzz in the past, but I never really explored them any further. But, when you’re tasked with some time off and no big trip planned, you make your own fun.

Well, turns out I was more busy last week than I had anticipated, so it looks like you guys are going to get stuck with another standard review from me. August has been turning out to be a pretty weak month of movies. Not necessarily by quality, but by quantity – and I want both! Regardless, here’s what made the cut this weekend.
Read moreJoe Bell Movie Review
Sadly, I’ve only got one movie to report back to you all on from this weekend. As you saw, I was busy doing other things (a festival!) and then I just felt like spending time with a good show. After what seemed like a lifetime, I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my local theaters with Joe Bell on their list of films for the weekend, so I jumped at the opportunity to go see it.
Read moreSpecial – Season 2 Review (Final Season)
Ugh! I feel like eons have passed since the first season of this delightful comedy aired, and now I learn this is the only other season I’ll ever get of Special?! Not cool. But, I mean…it is cool there are new episodes to be had. Brilliant in it’s own unique way, Special follows Ryan, a gay man with mild cerebral palsy and how he navigates life professionally and personally.
