After many weekends away from home this past month, I finally found myself home and with ample new movie choices! Here’s what made the cut.

Book Review: The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music by Dave Grohl
Who knew Dave Grohl could write? Books, I mean. Certainly the man can pen a song or two…just ask any of the number of successful projects he’s been a part of over the years. This is a bit different though. At almost 400 pages, this novels spans the wild years of his life, both personally and professionally. It’s a peak behind the curtain.
Read moreBook Review: None of this Rocks by Joe Trohman
You are reading that author’s name correctly. None of this Rocks is a memoir penned by Fall Out Boy guitarist, Joe Trohman. I for one, would have never guessed someone from one of my favorite bands would ever write something so personal. It was quite eye-opening.
Read moreThis Is Going to Hurt – Limited Series Review
I don’t know why I keep watch these intensely realistic looking medical shows. At least this one manages to inject a fair bit of humor into the drama. And that really is what sets This is Going to Hurt apart from other shows looking at such traumatic events.

I’ll keep it brief since I managed to sneak in a crap load of movies this weekend! Nothing like loading up on the last few weeks of the year.

At the insistence of one of my friends, and the promise of a film adaptation, I finally decided to give J.D. Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, a chance. It was quite a thought-provoking and somewhat somber read. While he grew up in Ohio like me, there was a lot that I couldn’t relate to personally, but there were many things he described that I’ve at least witnessed in my lifetime.
Read moreFilm & Book Review: A Million Little Pieces
Several months back, I saw that an actor I really admire (yes, from Kick-Ass), was going to lead an adaptation of the memoir, A Million Little Pieces. When I think back to the time that the book came out, I remember I thought the cover was really cool, but memoirs aren’t really something I search out to read. I also remember a bunch of controversy surrounding the book, but I couldn’t remember why. Turns out, not all of the memoir was true.

I’ve stopped being lazy and finally read something! November was a rough month considering I rented a book from the library and let it sit in my house for three weeks untouched. So I returned that and started over! Here we go.
