Welcome to my weird world!
I'm seeing Venom: Let There Be Carnage tomorrow. I can't wait. Three years ago, I was dragged to my local cinema to see this, the first entry, with my longtime comic book fan of an uncle. And I had no idea what to expect. I'd heard of Venom but hadn't seen any trailers, and I... Continue Reading →
While watching this flick, I was completely unaware of the so-called controversy, of Ben Platt being too old for the role of a high-schooler and one of the producers of the show being Ben's father and therefore inciting nepotism. And I find those concepts quite ridiculous. Rebel Wilson was in her early thirties, older than... Continue Reading →
Reading this book three years ago made me say though I haven't seen the musical this work is based on (which is a switch. A book based on a musical instead of the other way around), I may want to dust off my dancing shoes, if I ever had any. Well, in anticipation for the... Continue Reading →
Ryan Reynolds had to grow on me, but he did. And considering the late 2010s seemed to be his big A-list breakthrough, I'm grateful I just reached the age where I became interested in what he generally works with. Reynolds tends to play characters with hilarious aplomb as he survives and laughs his way through... Continue Reading →
As a reupload since I'm now nearly done An Emotion of Great Delight, I'll begin this review by saying whether or not I end up satisfied or underwhlemd, Tahereh Mafi is the sort of author where I'm always paying attention when she comes out with a new release. So I still have no idea what... Continue Reading →
I love adventure novels. When they’re done right. I think they’re best when they manage to tell every step of the way with no shortcuts like “Three days later”, and yet still retain our attention. In a book with this mission in this setting, you cannot spawn over a day or two. You have to... Continue Reading →
Well, isn't this a surprise for me. Truth is, out of all the Purge films, the only other one I've seen is The Purge: Election Year, and I gave that one a C-. I did enjoy its story conflicts of the best way to win an election, I appreciated the plot involving the possibility of... Continue Reading →
Wow. I really shouldn't have worried about the sequel to the riotously entertaining and welcoming mystery thriller that was One Of Us Is Lying. With this, Karen M. McManus has made herself official as one of my favourite authors. Maybe I should stand by that statement only after reading one more of her books. There's... Continue Reading →
You know my favourite part of The Breakfast Club, the movie this book takes obvious inspiration from? The final line: "We discovered each of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal." I think that's a timeless line, because it applies to everybody. No one is one...

Will Marissa Meyer ever write a bad book? Ever? Her first contemporary book (well, sorta) takes place at Fortuna Beach, California, a coastal town where it's summer all year and you can always enjoy the ocean waves, unless you have a phobia of sharks like Prudence Barnett or nearly drowned as a child like a...
