What a wild ride You has gone on. I’ve come to terms with the fact that the show is not going to follow Caroline Kepnes’ books to the T, so I was able to enjoy this ride a little more. With that being said, I felt like this season did honor Kepnes’ latest novel a lot better than I was expecting.

Weekend Movie Review
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.

Somehow I managed to squeeze in a respectable number of movies this weekend. Turns out they were all pretty decent, too!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Vanessa Kirby
I’m sure most of the world knows Vanessa Kirby from The Crown, but given that I try to avoid things related to the royals, she came into my orbit with last year’s critically acclaimed and Oscar nominated film Pieces of a Woman. She even got nominated! During this second year of the pandemic, I got the chance to catch her in an eerie drama called Italian Studies during the Tribeca Film Festival. Everyone else will have to wait until January to feast your eyes on it. I’d say with those performances in the bag she’s got a bright and magnetic future ahead of her. I look forward to what she puts out next!
Read moreBook Review: Hemlock Grove by Brian McGreevy
What a weird little book this was. I’ve been meaning to watch the show Hemlock Grove that was based off of this novel by Brian McGreevy for quite some time, but running across the book at the library unexpectedly, finally inspired me!
Read moreManic Movie Review
Truth be told, I didn’t watch any movies last week because I was busy being in the background of one! That’s all I can say for now, but as soon as I can share more I will. In order to make up for that oversight, I’ve stuffed as many movies as I possibly could into this last full week of October. Some spooky stuff, some not, but all pretty darn good!
Read moreClickbait Miniseries Review
This dramatic and thrilling Netflix miniseries came seemingly out of nowhere. One day it wasn’t there, and the next I see Adrian Grenier’s face with something that looks dark and twisted. Of course, when I learn that Zoe Kazan and Betty Gabriel are in it, too, it became a no-brainer to watch it! Also, with a name like Clickbait, it seems almost impossible that it won’t get watched. This 8-episode miniseries takes a unique storytelling approach with some shocking reveals along the way. Let’s dive in!

I feel like I’m making up for lost time here. September didn’t have me seeing nearly as many movies as I would have liked. Or perhaps, there is just so much good stuff coming out this month! A lot of them actually should have came out last year, but the pandemic had other plans. I mean, the pandemic still has other plans, but luckily for me and other film lovers, the big studios are forging ahead! Before I get to all of that though, let’s get a recap of what I actually watched this weekend.

After another previous weekend of no films, I tried my hardest to make up for it. Here’s hoping I can squeeze in a few more before the end of the month!
Read moreHalston Miniseries Review
Since the Emmys are right around the corner (one week!), I figured I could squeeze in this five-part miniseries, Halston, about fashion designer, Halston, who’s star Ewan McGregor is nominated for the role. I love seeing Ewan on TV, but unlike his time on Fargo, this series seemed to drag quite a bit, despite its short episode order.
