I've been dying to watch this movie ever since it came out on Netflix. But you know me... Can't watch the movie till I read the book. I usually prefer reading series as opposed to listening to them on Audiobook, but I knew it'd be ages until I ever decided to buy the To All the Boys series. So I just went ahead and listened to the . . .

Love, Simon | adaptation review
Okie doke. Let's go. Okay. I've been waiting to watch Love, Simon until I could get my hands on Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. When I noticed the film on HBO, I decided to just go ahead and listen to the audiobook at work, as I wasn't actively searching for the physical copy, anyway. I really enjoyed the audiobook and was excited to watch the film. So last weekend, I . . .
Five Feet Apart | adaptation review
Stella is a typical teenager—she goes to school, hangs out with friends, and makes YouTube videos. But she also has Cystic Fibrosis, a disease she's determined to not let kill her. All she has to do is make her way up the transplant list and get herself a new lung. That gives her an extra 5 years. She needs . . .
Captain Marvel | movie review
As the final film to occur before Endgame, I was really excited to how Captain Marvel would play into the big movie. Most of Captain Marvel is backstory, I'll be honest. Definitely lacking action compared to its companion films. But I really enjoyed the storyline (and no, not just because it centered around a female). I knew virtually . . .
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse | movie review
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is not a movie I was expecting to love, but am so glad it turned out to be one of the best films of the year for me. Seriously. If I had to describe it in as few words as possible, I'd say this: visually stunning. The animation is incredible. I thought I'd be disappointed with an animated superhero flick, but I . . .
Bird Box | adaptation review
Malorie lives in an abandoned home with her two young children. They do not look outside—ever. Malorie’s children have never seen the outside world. Malorie hasn’t seen it herself in five years. Something is out there, something that, if seen, will make you go mad. Make you hurt those around you. Make you kill yourself. But Malorie wants more for . . .
The Great Gatsby (1974 vs. 2013) | adaptation reviews
Ever since my girlfriend and I met in college 4 years ago, we have had differing opinions on The Great Gatsby, both the novel and its adaptations. It was a never-ending source of amusement to those around us in our English classes and continues to be so for our friends who know us now. Because my girlfriend and I read ...
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina | tv show review
Sabrina, a half-witch, lives with her aunties and cousin in the town of Greendale (the neighboring town of Riverdale, for all you fans out there). As her sixteenth birthday approaches, Sabrina must choose between the mortal world and the magical one. But Sabrina enjoys being a part of both worlds, and she's determined to keep it ...
Binge-Worthy TV Shows
I do love movies, but one of my favorite hobbies is binge-watching shows on Netflix and Hulu, and as the above blurb mentions, shows are finally coming back! Yet another reason fall is the best season of all. And yes, it is fall. When PSLs come back, it's officially fall. I don't care what your calendar . . .
Black Panther | movie review
Black Panther been out since February 16, I know, but it's so good, and I need to talk about it, and I have been meaning to do so for over a week now, so shut up and read my opinions. So, real talk: I was not excited about this movie. In fact, I almost decided to skip the theatrical release and wait for DVD, even though Marvel movies usually . . .
