Trope Troubles Part 2
Hey, come closer. I have a secret. A BIG SECRET! It’s a secret, so you can’t tell anyone. If you tell, there will be consequences. It’ll mostly just be me being sad, but those are some heavy consequences because you wouldn’t like me when I’m sad. It’s a lot of ugly crying. Are you ready… Continue reading

August Movie Roundup: Most Likely
It’s that time of the month again! The time of the month when I let you, my friends, know what I watched the previous month. Rapid fire! Totally Killer (2023): Most likely the movie I don’t remember anything about, but apparently rated it 6.7/10. Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995): Most likely to have one of… Continue reading

The Nutty Professor (1963)
Runtime: 1 hr 47 min Starring: Jerry Lewis, Stella Stevens, and Del Moore Director: Jerry Lewis I thought I knew things. I thought I knew that Jerry Lewis was only capable of portraying goofy, bumbling characters. Never mind that I think I’ve only ever seen him in one other movie before watching this one.

Starring: Janet Smith, George Hastings, and Arthur Shields Runtime: 1 hr 11 mins Director: Edgar G. Ulmer I feel like I’m about to half-ass this. Friends, I zoned out while trying to watch this.

Starring: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, and Boris Karloff Director: Charles Lamont Runtime: 1 hr 16 min We have found another comedic adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s story! Now, while the previous comedic film (Dr. Pyckle and Mr. Pryde) made me giggle, this film actually made me guffaw. Like, serious, loud, and obnoxious laughter. Apparently, Lou… Continue reading

Trope Troubles
When it comes to reading (and I do a lot of it), not all tropes are built the same. At least, not for me! There are tropes that I eat up every single time. Seriously, if a trope I love is mentioned in the synopsis – and even if it’s in a story I wouldn’t… Continue reading

Jekyll and Hyde, Fantasy Books, and Random Things
Hey, friends! I’ll try to make this a quick one tonight. It’s 10 pm, it was a long day at work, and I just finished watching a movie that made me tear up. Your girl is going through it today. Sunday night, I found two cartoons on YouTube I wanted to mention. Hyde and Go… Continue reading

Q2 – All the Books Belong to Me
Most of my reading this year has been very middle-of-the-road, but a few books stood out in April, May, and June. The Haar by David Sodergren Primary Genre: Horror My Goodreads Review: This is equal parts horrifying and heartbreaking. Also, a little gross. Another Sky by Cynthia A Rodriguez Primary Genre: Romance My Goodreads Review:… Continue reading
