To Be Read Thursday: The Book Eaters

To Be Read Thursday: The Book Eaters

My tbr is getting out of control. It is time to take action and remind myself of all those goodies on my shelf.  To get motivated I started a meme, To Be Read Thursday.  Each week, I will highlight one book that I physically own, be it arc, bought, paperback or ebook, and is on […]

Sharp Objects (2018)

Sharp Objects (2018)

Bite-Sized Review: Despite having read the book and knowing the plot Sharp Objects still had me on the seat of my chair.  It is a series I wish I could see again for the first time.  It is dark, secretive, and has the creepiest, perfect pacing.  Amy Adams and Eliza Scanlen play off each other […]

The Outsiders (1983)

The Outsiders (1983)

I remembered loving The Outsiders when I was younger, being enthralled by both the book and movie counterpart. Unfortunately, as an adult, I think it was just because we got to watch a movie in class. Considering the fast-paced nature of the book this adaptation dragged. A scene that should have been five minutes went […]

Legally Blonde (2001)

Legally Blonde (2001)

Reviews Done Quick I could fill this review with my thoughts on Reese Witherspoon and the effective “bend and snap” but let’s face it; we all know Reese Witherspoon is amazing and the bend and snap is epic. Legally Blonde is clever and while always a romantic comedy, at the heart of the film is […]

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

I have one question, who is Tinker, Tailor Soldier Spy? Technically that is four questions and with that opening sentence, I proclaim that I was thoroughly confused. I went with my parents and two friends, we all had trouble remembering the name of the film we were about to see (never a good sign) and […]
