Small Bites – Summer Reading

An unlikely love affair

Most Likely to Murder – A Review

‘Most Likely to Murder’ haphazardly and mostly hits the mark but I don’t foresee it making a huge splash among any audiences.

A Quiet Place – A Review

Refreshing!

Phantom Thread – A Review

Ravishing. Sensual. Startlingly tremendous.

Playing Catch-Up: Movie Edition!

A series of quick reviews of some of the things I’ve watched in the last month or two that (for the most part) weren’t impressionable enough to warrant a full separate post. Ready? Let’s go!

Tries! al dente Pasta Company – carba-nada egg fettuccine pasta

A few weeks ago I came across this product, the al dente Pasta Company’s carba-nada, an egg-based fettuccine. I happily tossed it into my cart, brought it home…

The Greatest Showman – A Review

This film was the cinematic equivalent to cotton candy. All light and fluffy and saccharine sweet, the memory of which would dissolve just as easily.

Spider-Man: Homecoming – A Review

I guess I should start things off by mentioning that I’m not really into Super Hero/Comic Book movies. There are a few that I like—Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1, Deadpool, and Logan for example—but they’re just not my jam. I think it’s the mountains of back story/necessary exposition (and I’m not fond of the comic book format). I probably would’ve skipped this entirely but I’d heard good things about the movie in general, about Tom Holland’s portrayal of Peter Parker, and I had a BOGO coupon for Redbox rentals so… I gave it a shot.

Loving Vincent – A Review

I first became aware of this film about six years ago.

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. What better time to catch up on my queue and what better film to start with than ‘Lion’?
