REVIEW: “The Imitation Game”
I’ve been doing my best to see more movies in the theater. For as much as I love awards season, I usually don’t see the nominated films before the awards ceremonies. I’d wait for them to come out on DVD or hit cable. But, I want to change that routine. I’d like to be more…

REVIEW: “Big Eyes”
This is a movie I’ve wanted to see for a while. Because, well, Amy Adams is in it. I love me some Amy Adams. I have ever since she played Cousin Beth in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Anya slapped her down for not knowing what kind of demon Tara was supposed to be. (Yeah. I’m that…

REVIEW: “Into the Woods”
I have loved musicals all my life. My mother got me hooked on them when I was very young by listening to the soundtrack records with me. (Yes, records. Vinyl.) When cable came into our lives, movie musicals were often played. That was Nirvana for me. I would turn down invitations from friends to go…

REVIEW: “Wild”
Anyone who has kept up with or read through my blog posts is aware of the close relationship I had with my mother. Her death 2 years ago was devastating. I still find it so strange that I have to visit her at the cemetery, and not just go into the next room to see…

REVIEW: “The Theory of Everything”
Once upon a time, I was a Physics/Astronomy major. I spent 2 1/2 years in college studying the laws and beauty of our universe. I wanted to work for NASA. But, I fell out of love with it. I mean, I still like Physics and Astronomy. I just lost my desire to have it be the…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 19: Interstellar (Review)
I went to see Interstellar last week. We have a theatre in the area that not only has $5 Tuesdays, but their early matinees are also only $5. Even their regularly priced tickets are only $9.50 – so I try to go to that theatre the most. It will come in handy as I strive…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 11: Edge of Tomorrow (Review)
I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise. I mean, he’s a good enough actor and he’s done some good movies. But, as a person, I’m not a fan. I think he’s a tool of the first order. So when I chose to rent Edge of Tomorrow, it definitely wasn’t to see him. Oh no. It was…

NaBloPoMo (11/2014) – Day 10: Maleficent (Review)
I rented Maleficent today. I was looking for something not based in reality. Since this is a new DVD release, I figured it would do. In general, I enjoyed the movie. I enjoy retelling of the classic fairy tales. It’s always interesting to see things from different points of view. This was no exception. Like Wicked: The Life…

REVIEW: “Jolt” by Kris Bryant
*I was provided a free download of Jolt by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Bold Strokes Books for affording me this opportunity.*. Mystery writer Bethany Lange wasn’t prepared for the twisting emotions that left her breathless the moment she laid eyes on folk singer sensation Ali Hart. Of course she…
