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 →
Free Guy (2021) Movie Review
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 →
Luca (2021) Movie Review
I liked Luca better than Toy Story 4. Let's start it off that way. I'm not a devotee to the original trilogy, but I still just found the movie too big for its britches, having some sweet moments and surprises but relegating too many beloved characters to the side, displaying more than a few moments...

Hour of the Bees by Lindsay Eagar Book Review
Whenever I'd read this outside, wasps would swarm me. And no one else. Maybe it was the giant bee on the cover giving wasps the impression I may be a person of interest. Caroleena, or Carol, is a twelve year old girl whose family is not broken, but a bit fractured on the sides, and... Continue Reading →
The Black Witch by Laurie Forest Book Review
I don't think I've been this excited to start a new book series since I devoured the first Miss Peregrine book five years ago. In the start of this series due to be at least a quintet, we follow someone named Elloren Gardner who's known as a Gardnerian. Her Uncle Edwin has raised her and... Continue Reading →
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer Book Review
Of all the books I’ve ever owned, this has been on my TBR the absolute longest. I’ve had the first Artemis Fowl on my shelf since I was seven years old. And if the movie didn’t come out, which I thought was not terrible but didn’t really have the soul that made it the surefire... Continue Reading →
Mortal Kombat (2021) Movie Review
Believe it or not, when I think of Mortal Kombat, I think of SpongeBob. When I had baby teeth, Nickelodeon produced more than one fighting-type game in Bikini Bottom's universe that is undeniably inspired from MK's algorithm. So even though I've never technically played a game with Mortal Kombat in the title, I've held the... Continue Reading →
Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer Book Review
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... Continue Reading →
Raya and The Last Dragon Movie Review
Do I love thee? Do I love thee not? Everyone is bowing down to Raya in a story that definitely wouldn't have worked had this chosen to be the next Disney-princess-musical-adventure. And me not giving this a positive grade...it feels kind of wrong doing that. It gets so much right. If it had some polishes... Continue Reading →
Onward (2020) Movie Review
This...was...incredible. I'm really happy to be able to post Onward after it's been out for a year now, the time right before everything shut down. I was stressed, but not seeing Onward when it was out has to be the stupidest thing I'd done in 2020. I mean, I knew I'd see it eventually. But... Continue Reading →
