Bad Monkey is an Apple+ series that I actually watched way sooner than I ever would have thought.

Bad Sisters – Season 2 Review
It’s hard for me to say if the second season of Bad Sisters is as dark and twisted as the first season, but it sure did make my jaw drop. Another valiantly successful season in my book!
Read moreSeverance Season 1 Review
Now that the second season of the critically acclaimed Severance is almost done airing, I’ve finally gotten around to watching its premiere season. And I gotta say, I’m glad I waited! What a horrible cliffhanger to wait three years on!
Read moreWeekend Movie Review:
Similar to the rest of the year, March has been almost equally as inconsistent with my movie viewing. Or maybe I’m just being lazy in my weekly recaps. Anyway, here’s the haul from the first two weekends.
Read moreBook Review: Promise Boys by Nick Brooks
I love a good young adult book from time to time, and what drew me first to Nick Brooks’ Promise Boys, was the stark contrasting cover. In a bright red you see three boys, but then the eyes have been torn out and you can see that they are boys of color. That gives this murder mystery another layer of intrigue.

Read moreBest Films of 2024
I think as you’ve all come to know, there were a lot of movies in my life this year. 175 to be exact, though unlike other years, there were several repeat viewings this time around! I was also so lucky to take part in so many film festivals this year, both in person and virtually, and I hope the trend continues next year! Here are my favorite films of the year (and see the rest at the bottom!).
Read morePresumed Innocent – Season 1 Review
That’s right, only a month after the premiere of the Apple+ series Presumed Innocent aired, it received another season. I was momentarily stumped as to how they would continue on, but it’s doable. It just won’t have any source material to go with it. If you’re wondering, yes, this is an adaptation of a novel, but it’s the first televised one. Harrison Ford starred in a film of the same name back in 1990.

Karen M. McManus manages again to make such a compelling novel with Such Charming Liars, her latest novel not featuring any previously written characters.
Read moreBook Review: Middle of the Night by Riley Sager
After Riley Sager’s abysmal The House Across the Lake, I kind of have trust issues with him, though his last book and the latest, Middle of the Night, have him squarely back in the same camp as before. Actually, I’d like to think that Sager was able to get just a little bit of the supernatural shoe-horned in here. A compromise I can live with.
