Loving Vincent – A Review

I first became aware of this film about six years ago. Once the trailer hit social media, friend after friend shared it with me—”You’ll love this!” “It looks right up your alley!” “This reminded me of you!” And after watching the trailer and scouring the internets for more information, I was quickly disheartened to see that it would be quite a while before this film would make it to theaters; would I even be living in a place that I’d get to see it in theaters?

Lion – A Review

A few days ago, I found myself with quite a bit of downtime—I was feeling terribly run down and on the edge of maybe slipping under the weather, so I camped out in my pj’s with a handful of supplements, a river’s worth of water, and a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

Tries! International Delight One-Touch-Latte

I have had a long, at times complicated, relationship with coffee. In my early twenties I used it mostly as fuel to stay awake for ridiculous hours to meet academic deadlines, to fuel mania in studio theaters and to help me get through finals for classes that ended up being rather inconsequential. During that time I had very little standards for coffee other than it should be black and stronger than tar. Not instant. Not the trash known as decaf. And definitely not sweetened.

Happy Death Day – A Review

I was especially excited to go see ‘Happy Death Day.’ Not because I thought it was going to blow me away, that it was reinventing the wheel in this kind of repetitive-action genre, but because it simply looked like a fun thriller.
