Review of 'A Mirror Mended'
A Mirror Mended is the next installment in USA Today bestselling author Alix E. Harrow's Fractured Fables series. Zinnia Gray, professional fairy-tale fixer and lapsed Sleeping Beauty, is over rescuing snoring princesses. Once you’ve rescued a dozen damsels and burned fifty spindles, once you’ve gotten drunk with twenty good fairies and made out with one too many members of the royal family, you start to wish some of these girls would just get a grip and try solving their own narrative issues. Just when Zinnia’s beginning to think she can't handle one more princess, she glances into a mirror and sees another face looking back at her: the shockingly gorgeous face of evil, asking for her help. Because there’s more than one person trapped in a story they didn’t choose. Snow White's Evil Queen has found out how her story ends, and she's desperate for a better ending. She wants Zinnia to help her before it’s too late for everyone. Will Zinnia accept the Queen's poisonous request and save them both from the hot-iron shoes that wait for them, or will she try another path?

Adam Sandler has been in the business for over 20 plus years. He has done everything from raunchy comedies to feel good comedies to heartwrenching drama. His latest comes courtesy of Netflix and definitely combines all the things people have grown to love about Sandler over the years.
Reel VibesPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Anything's Possible"
Anything's Possible is a new Amazon Prime original film. There are lots of complexities to this movie that they try to tackle. Thankfully it's a fairly simple story so it's a pretty easy to follow. People of my generation might be startled at such a new age of youth. It's pretty interesting to see how they're portrayed in this movie.

Are you like me where you wish there was more Genndy Clone Wars and want to do something else with your time other than rewatch the Genndy series over and over again? Then do I have the spinoff for you. Introducing Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures. A series of spinoff comics telling more Clone Wars stories in the Genndy style that you know and love if you were an early 2000s kid. Released by Dark Horse Comics around the same time as the show, this anthology series was printed primarily in Archie Digest format, though I do have a single preview issue, that I'm not entirely sure where I got it from.
Danny DuffPublished 2 years ago in Geeks(The Owl House)Eda's love for apple blood. This is a 1500-word essay on this topic.
Eda loves apple blood. This fact has been shown multiple times throughout the show. It was never directly stated why she cares for the drink to a point of possible addiction, as it appears to be early on in the show. Many believe it to be alcoholic in nature. It was confirmed to be both. There is reason to believe that this drink is connected to love.
The ultimate summer anime list pt. 2
I know writing a part 2 is a little unoriginal but summer isn't over which means there is still time for you to binge some anime!! I hope this helps you find a show that brings you some entertainment this summer!! These aren't in any order or a particular genre. I only recommend anime I have watched and loved. Let's begin!!
My Review of "Spectre"
Spectre is the follow up Bond film to Skyfall. It came out in 2015 and man that's a long time to keep all of the Bond stories in your head. Luckily I'm doing a Bond marathon so they're somewhat still fresh in my head. This movie basically brings all of the bond films together to an end. That is we thought it was the end back then, we didn't know there was going to be another one.
Brian AnonymousPublished 2 years ago in GeeksHallmark Review: 'Caribbean Summer'
Synopsis: Jade Taylor (Heather Hemmens) has put in a lot of work to become a respected news producer. But her "all work, no play" attitude has put a real dent in her romantic life--at least, that's what her ex-boyfriend says. It's only after an embarrassing incident during a live broadcast that Jade realizes she does need time to decompress before she spirals into burnout. Put on a leave of absence by her boss, Jade takes the opportunity to book a trip to Maceo Island. Her vacation gets off to a bumpy start when she learns that the "rental home" she booked isn't actually for rent and is the home of Maceo Island resident Ford (Ser'Darius Blain). Sympathetic to the fact that Jade was scammed, Ford agrees to allow his unexpected houseguest to stay in his spare bedroom. From there, Jade gingerly learns to unwind and an attraction forms between her and Ford as they spend more time together. But will Jade learning the truth about Ford's past put an end to all that?
Trevor WellsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksHamilton: an all-round crowd pleaser and nothing more
I went to see Hamilton on the west end in London recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd seen the recording on Disney plus which got me into it, and I was very familiar with the brilliant and musically-diverse soundtrack. But it's something you have to see live to truly appreciate how amazing and groundbreaking it is, not to mention that the performance of Hamilton himself (Scottish newcomer Reuben Joseph) was brilliant, far better than the not-so-brilliant-but-we'll-allow-it-cos-he-wrote it performance of Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Matty LongPublished 2 years ago in GeeksLittle Kya & Her Lessons
I don't know a soul that wouldn't fall in love with little Kya from the movie, "Where the Crawdads Sing." Long locks of curly brown hair all free and flowing wild encircle an adorable round face with pouty pink lips and dark, soulfully sad eyes. But beyond those eyes, and from deep within, there lies hidden the heart of a tiger. She is a survivor.

Synopsis: Hannah Holt (Ashley Williams) and Josh Wyatt (Ryan Paevey) are two strangers brought together on their wedding days...after they're both left at the altar by their respective partners. After their chance encounter, Hannah and Josh make a pact: they'll both still go on their honeymoons, despite now being without spouses. But when Hannah touches down in Hawaii and arrives at the Paradaiso Ipo resort, she's stunned to learn that Josh has picked the same resort for his own solo honeymoon! Initially, it's a little awkward for Hannah and Josh to be the only single guests in a romance-themed resort. But as they begin enjoying what the Aloha State has to offer together, their battered hearts start to heal...and they begin to wonder if fate has conspired to bring them both face to face with a second chance at love.
Trevor WellsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Jack Reacher (2012)"
Jack Reacher (2012) may be confused with the new Reacher series streaming on Amazon Prime. If you haven't seen that series yet do yourself a favor and check it out. The film and the TV series have a lot of similarities but are ultimately quite different.
