The Family Stone - A Movie Review
Christmas will be here before you know it. Time to start the holiday with my family. The Family Stone arrived in theaters in 2005. A new soon-to-be member is introduced to the Stone family. Meredith’s uptight and conservative nature does not mix with the eccentric family’s lifestyle. What will this Christmas teach everyone?

My Review of "Predestination"
Predestination is a movie that came out in 2014. I haven't heard of this movie but I do like my time travel movies. When I saw the description for the movie it seemed innocent enough. It was supposed to be your run of the mill time travel movie where they fix a problem in the past or the future to make the world a better place. Instead this kind of flipped everything around.

My Review of "Mr. Mayor: Season One"
Mr. Mayor is a new comedy TV show that came out early 2021. It was a very short season with only 9 episodes. However, the amount of fun that they were able to pack into those 9 episodes was truly impressive. I really hope they will get picked up again for a second season.

My Review of "The Matrix Revolutions"
The Matrix Revolutions came out in 2003 a few months after The Matrix Reloaded. I had to watch it as part of my Matrix catch up for the upcoming new Matrix movie in December 2021. It's also been 18 years since that movie had come out and a lot of the details are really murky in my head. This was a great excuse to bring me up to speed and reflect on my new reactions of this film.

'The Holiday Swap' by Maggie Knox is a Hallmark Movie in Book Form
Cookies are baking in the oven, filling your home with nostalgic aromas, while the television is set to a Christmas movie marathon. You're covered in flour dust, the apron you've put on proving ineffective. The next cookie sheet is prepped and ready for the oven. You look around aimlessly for something to do while you wait for the timer to go off and the television catches your eye.

Review: "The Unforgivable"
Sandra Bullock is a bonafide movie star that lifts up any movie that she is in, however, The Unforgivable has one too many flaws. It is a personal tale that Bullock does a great job of in an almost unrecognizable role for her, but the direction of Nora Fingscheidt and the script leave a lot to be desired. Beyond Bullock, the film has a star-studded cast including Jon Bernthal, Viola Davis, and Vincent D'Onofrio. The cast is fine, but for such a personal journey, the writer and director put focus on far too many characters leading to a jumbled and rather uninteresting plot.

Villainess Review: Anna Ivers & Mildred Kemp (The Uninvited)
I remember actually seeing The Uninvited at the big screen, doing so on the very weekend that it came out. The film was released on January 30, 2009; I saw it the day after (January 31), and I remember that date because a) it was three weeks after The Unborn (a horror film) was released, b) it was one week before The Pink Panther 2 (which featured a very amazing villainess) was released, and c) it was Super Bowl Weekend--I saw this film one day before watching the Pittsburgh Steelers win Super Bowl XLIII.

'Doctor Who': "The Secrets of Det-Sen" Review
In the 1967 Doctor Who serial "The Abominable Snowmen" (soon to be the latest wiped serial to be animated), the plot of that story and Patrick Troughton's Doctor encountering the robotic Yeti around a Tibetan monastery was set in motion by a previous visit. Except, as was already becoming the case for the series less than five years into its run, we never actually saw it happen. It's perhaps surprising that in the plethora of spin-off novels and audio dramas that have arisen in the last three decades, that visit has never received much attention. Or, at least, until August 2021 when Big Finish presented it in their audio drama The Secrets of Det-Sen.

Review of ‘Cupid’s Match’
The mythical comes to life in this fast-paced paranormal romance that begins an incredible trilogy by Lauren Palphreyman--one of Wattpad’s biggest stars. For teen Lila Black, Cupid isn’t a myth—he’s her perfect match. When teen Lila Black arrives at Cupid's Matchmaking Service intent on stopping them from spamming her, her world is turned inside out when she learns not only that cupids exist, but that she’s been matched with the infamous god of love, Cupid. The only catch? Lila's cupid guide, Cal, informs her she can't actually fall for Cupid; if she does, it will summon the goddess Venus, and it won't be pretty. As Cupid and Lila try to resist each other's magnetic pull, they discover an ancient group of cupids, the Arrows, are after them and determined to stop their match. Only by working together and surrendering to the power of myths can Lila and her cupids defeat the Arrows and put an end of Venus, once and for all.

Review: Netflix's Drive to Survive
Formula 1 Drive to Survive is in its third season and filming its fourth. The Netflix original has made many new fans to F1 in the US. With its characteristic drama, this series is as bingeworthy as it gets. It even comes with a curse; you can't get more dramatic than that.
