Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire – Season 1 Review

November 9, 2022November 9, 2022admin

Now, for those that do not have AMC+, there will be SPOILERS ahead for the first season of the televised adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire.

There, now that you’ve been sufficiently warned, let’s get into it. Of course, I will be making comparisons to the 1994 film of the same name I only recently watched, but you’ll have to wait for me to actually read the book before I can compare the show to its source material. Regardless, it does seem that both critics and fans of the novels were also big fans of this series. I, myself, was also quite intrigued with this series and frankly I’m bummed that I now have to wait god knows how long for the second season (already renewed, by the way). Oh well, let’s talk about what went down.

Book Review: The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

New Riley Sager!! I’d be so happy if this guy manages to pump out a new book every year, mainly because they’ve all been thoroughly enjoyable. And honestly, I’m a little surprised I’m saying that about his newest release, The House Across the Lake, but you’ll just have to keep reading to find out why. And on that note, just know there are some SPOILERS ahead.

The Black Phone – Movie & Short Story Review

June 28, 2022June 28, 2022admin

It took maybe the first ten seconds of the trailer for The Black Phone to convince me that I was going to see it. Now, that was supposed to be in January, but things happen and here we are now in June. Regardless, I definitely found the film worth the wait, and then I purposely waited to read the short story until I saw the film. As I’ve said before, the written word will always be good whether I read it before or after. The outcome for film or television adaptations varies, and typically not in the best way.

Now, before you all get excited, no, I did not watch the new Top Gun movie. Mainly because I have never seen the original. Yet. Give me until next weekend and that all could change. Anyways, here’s what rounded out the month!
