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. Never… Continue reading

The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960)
Runtime: 1 hr 28 min Starring: Paul Massie, Dawn Addams, and Christopher Lee Director: Terence Fisher Friends! We finally stepped out of the silver screen and into Technicolor!

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

Now,… Continue reading

Dr. Pyckle and Mr. Pryde (1925)
Giggle So, Dr. Pyckle and Mr. Pryde starring Stan Laurel (of Laurel and Hardy fame) was fun! I have heard of Laurel and Hardy, but I have never sat down and watched any of their work. This was about 30 minutes long (give or take) and most definitely a parody of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.… Continue reading

It Started with a Nightmare
Only a whisper behind my love of books is my love for horror movies. Horror and I have a long history. As an older millennial, I have been privileged to experience the shift from VHS to DVD rentals. To the rise of Blu-Ray. Netflix sending movies straight to your door. To streaming. Through all of… Continue reading

Worse Musical Experience
One of the things that bothers me most about my history with musical theater is that I can’t remember the exact dates I saw certain productions. That and the fact that I can’t remember who was in certain productions. Yes, I do have souvenir programs hidden somewhere in my closet, buried beneath clothes and books.… Continue reading
