Did I just choose another book that got adapted into a film? You bet. Is it going to be creepy? It better be! Does it star Elisabeth Moss? Of course. I respect horror on film and in writing, and yes, I’ve read a few Shirley Jackson works in my time, but I was drawn to this fictional novel, Shirley, because it was a more subtle thriller delivered from the perspective of an outsider looking into the Hyman/Jackson home.

Quibi – The Stranger, Cont.
Okay, Quibi. I stand corrected. You did not totally disappoint me because I was fooled into thinking The Stranger was all but over after seven measly episodes, when in fact there were another six that aired! That’s right. Thirteen total episodes to tell the story. Where did we leave off?
Read moreMonday Night TV Round-up
As one show ends, another soldiers on. The show ending its season of course, is Prodigal Son. Will it get picked up for another? That remains to be seen. I will say, it was an impressive end, given how shaky I’ve felt about the second half of the season. Let’s dig in to both Roswell, New Mexico and Prodigal Son.
Read moreHannibal Season 1
For the last several years I’ve had the show Hannibal on my radar. For whatever reason, I never really heard of or watched this show during its three season run on NBC, and that makes me a little sad. Sad in the way that I was bummed I never experienced it live, and really bummed that it only lasted three seasons. Even though I’ve only just finished the first season’s thirteen episodes, they’ve been really amazing!
Read moreBook Review: The Wife Between Us
I love thrillers, so I was glad to be reading a new one that more recently came out and already has the rights picked up by Steven Spielberg for a screen adaptation. In my mind, those are really good indicators of an excellent novel. And I was right! The Wife Between Us, co-written by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen had so many great twists and turns that I tore right through this in a week!

Prodigal Son is back! And Roswell, New Mexico just keeps getting crazier. With so many shows ending or on hiatus, I’ve come to really enjoy my Monday night television.

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 moreQuibi – The Stranger Review
In this time of quarantine and new content overload, I caved and subscribed to the newest short-form streaming service, Quibi. A large part of my decision had to do with the fact that I saw some thriller projects featuring Christoph Waltz and Dane DeHaan…actually, that might have been the only reason. Because even if we all didn’t have an abundant amount of time to spend inside, why would I pay monthly for “shows” that are shorter than some Youtube clips?! It’s seems pretty ridiculous if you ask me. And after finishing one series in just over an hour, I can confirm that it wouldn’t be worth paying for.
Read moreNine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty
After reading a few of her novels, I’ve finally brought myself back around to Liane Moriarty! I got off of a short wait list to read her latest novel, Nine Perfect Strangers. And boy was it exciting! I finished it in three days, which is incredibly fast for me.
Read moreRoswell, New Mexico and Prodigal Son Recap
Oh, Monday. What joy you bring to my nightly television viewing. At this present moment, that’s mainly because of Roswell, New Mexico, but I can give some credit to Prodigal Son, who is airing its last handful of episodes at a snail’s pace. Either way, entertainment. In this time of self-isolation, that’s all I’m asking for. So here we go!
