There were some brand new films this week, some insufferable ones, and even some from HBO Max this weekend! Let’s dive in!

Book Review: There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
Ever since I heard that Stephanie Perkins’ novel, There’s Someone Inside Your House, was getting adapted into a film at Netflix, I’ve been itching to get my hands on it. Despite it being a young adult novel, the premise (and the title, come on) sounded perfectly creepy and right up my alley! And it was! This delivered both the spooks and the gore and I hope they really commit in the adaptation.
Read moreCobra Kai Season 1
Back a few years ago when the first season of Cobra Kai hit Youtube Red, it was a certified hit. Sure, it hit all the nostalgic notes, but it also managed to produce something totally new without a reboot. It sparked my interest, but I never wanted to pay for the subscription. Then it moved to Netflix for its upcoming third season and the show made my shortlist! Being a fan of The Karate Kid, I had decent expectations for this show.
Read moreHalloween (sort of) Movie Weekend
Since Halloween was this weekend, I tried to keep my film choices in that vain. And I would say for the most part I did that! They were creepy, gory, and at the very least mentioned the holiday.
Read moreVirginia Film Fest & Netflix’s Rebecca
The film festival magic continues, but this time with an entirely new one! Similar excellent options, although sadly some were relegated strictly to drive-in theaters. Obviously, since I do not live there I cannot attend. Sad. No worry though, because I did get to catch a film I’d had my eye one since the start of the year!
Read moreWeekend Movie Round-up
Ah, after last week’s unusual mediocrity, I have got my film viewings back up to snuff. On the lower end, but considering I did stuff with some people (say what??), the fact that I managed to squeeze these all in is quite the feat.
Read moreThe Devil All the Time Movie Review
Towards the start of quarantine, I went out of my way to hunt down Donald Ray Pollock’s gothic hillbilly novel, The Devil All the Time, only after learning that it was being adapted into a feature film for Netflix. I also saw the cast list, which locked in my need to read this novel ASAP. And I did! If you follow my blog at all, you probably read (or at least glanced) at my review for the novel. I really enjoyed it! Not only did it take place in my home state, but it also was graphic and violent. There was such an intricate and desolate web woven between all of these characters that really sucked me in.
Read moreSo-So Movie Weekend
Two flops and two wins made it into this weekend. All were extremely random in terms of story line and genre, but I’ve got an eclectic taste, so nothing ever seems that out of the ordinary for me. However, this doesn’t mean that everything I pick is going to land, and I think this weekend I was hindered by not watching trailers! Yes, they tend to give everything away now, but I think it would have deterred me from watching in a couple of cases. Anyways, here we go.
Read moreFandoms, Interviews, and Zoom Panels During Quarantine
Look, COVID-19 has prevented a lot of cool things from taking place this year, and I imagine it will continue to steam-roll the rest of 2020. This makes me really sad, as I’ve had to miss out on countless concerts and a handful of semi-local conventions. I look forward to these types of events because, if it’s not obvious, I love all things famous! And what better way to hear from, gaze at from afar, or straight up meet in person than at a convention?!
Read moreMovie Madness
I managed to shove quite a few movies into this normal, non-holiday weekend. Some of them were brand new (to streaming services, of course), while others were new to me, while the rest were just some of my old favorites. I won’t bore you with the details this time, so there’s just a tease below.
