After letting myself down last week, I am finally going to see The Bikeriders tomorrow night. That means I get to hear Jodie Comer’s apparently spot-on New Jersey accent. Either way, really looking forward to this much delayed drama.

My Beautiful Man Seasons 1 & 2 + Movie Review
Friends! I have finally dipped a toe outside of Thai BLs dramas and into my first Japanese one! Woah! While there were a lot of differences, My Beautiful Man still made my heart flutter just as much as any other BL I’ve watched.

It was a pretty average viewing this weekend, but fear not! It’s the calm before the holiday weekend storm, so I more than plan to make up for it in my next recap. Anyways, here’s a high level look at what I managed to watch this weekend.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Robert Pattinson
Hot off the presses is my latest drawing of Robert Pattinson! Some of the inspiration for drawing him is due to the upcoming release of the novel, Midnight Sun, by Stephanie Meyer, but it’s also because of all of the other awesome stuff he’s been involved with! Seriously, Twilight has to be the worst movie in his filmography. If you really want to watch him shine I recommend, Little Ashes, Good Time, and Damsel. These are all so eclectic and just awesome! I’m also really looking forward to what’s coming next for him, both indie and blockbuster.

I’ve had another few days off, and the weather hasn’t been all that great, so what better way to spend my than watching a butt load of movies?! There’s not, I promise. This time I chose to enjoy both new and old films, some of which I’ve already seen and some that are old, but new to me. Catch a quick summary below!
Read moreMovie Review: White Boy Rick
The first movie of 2019! Having said that, it was a bit of a letdown. I applaud the fact that they filmed in Lakewood, OH and Vegas, and the soundtrack was on point, but the story line itself was rather slow and dragged out.
Super-scum from Detroit shows Richard (Matthew McConaughey) and son White Boy Rick himself (newcomer Richie Merritt) dealing firearms to the other scum of Detroit. Rick gets caught up in the wrong crowd, drug dealers, and lives the high life for a while while also being an informant to the FBI. All that comes to an end when Rick ends up getting shot, and then the FBI eventually drop him and arrest his entire crew, including friend Boo. Rick and his dad try to strike a deal with the FBI in the end, but they don’t keep their word and Rick ends up in jail with a life sentence.
When I initially heard about this movie based on real-life Rick Wershe Jr. who was the youngest FBI informant ever at the age of 14, I thought this was going to be entertaining as hell, but it just wasn’t paced properly. Not a great way to start off my 2019 movie list, but there will always be misses with the hits.
“Vice” Movie Review
Alright, for quite some time I was looking forward to December 25th, and it was not because it was Christmas. I was excited because Adam McKay’s newest film “Vice” was going to be released. Well, Christmas has come and gone, and I finally saw “Vice” yesterday. And I’ve got to say that I was mildly disappointed. For it being a comedy-drama, and an unfortunately long running time, I didn’t really find myself laughing or that engaged in the drama. Sure, this movie made me realize how shady and crazy Dick Cheney and his wife were, but it just lacked the pizzazz that 2015’s “The Big Short” had.
I was seriously impressed with all of the individual performances: Christian Bale (Holy pounds, Batman!), Amy Adams and Sam Rockwell nailed their impersonations. Steve Carrell was just okay in my book, and I was pleasantly surprised with some of the smaller supporting roles, but all together the film was just forgettable and not that interesting. I don’t regret seeing it, but I also don’t know that I’d recommend it either. Definitely don’t expect to see it on my top 10 list next week.
