Spoilers for both book and film ahead. Oi. This is going to be a long and probably complicated post. I have FEELINGS. I have OPINIONS. I don’t know what to do with myself right now. Now you may be saying, “well that doesn’t sound good.” Well, it’s complicated. Going into this movie I […]
Continuing with the HUNGER GAMES recapping we have the film adaptation of CATCHING FIRE. Like HUNGER GAMES, I never reviewed this when it came out. In fact I didn’t even see it in theaters. I was too worried about upcoming college exams. And so I didn’t see this movie until it came out on […]
It’s been a decent amount of years now since THE HUNGER GAMES was released but I recently realized that I never reviewed it when it came out. Since I just did a reread of the series and my husband had not yet experienced these films I decided to force him to sit down with […]
When you think of MASH what do you think of? For most people it’s probably the show which ran for 12 seasons. For others its the film which the show is a continuation. But before either of these things MASH was a book. But it wasn’t just one, oh no. MASH turned into […]
Anyone who knows me knows I love all things British. Their radio, their books, and of course their television. So when Doctor Who showrunner Stephen Moffat and Mark Gatiss started working on their own Sherlock Holmes adaptation they had my attention immediately.

Oh my glaciers of frozen polar ice, friends. I’ve been away from hulu for a while, so it caught me by surprise today that Runaways is already up! SPOILERS BELOW This review is only for the first episode. I may post more for the whole season if anyone is interested. It started off promising, but […]
Before NBC’s Hannibal came out I thought I would never accept a Hannibal Lector other than Anthony Hopkins. To me he was the definitive Hannibal, unbeaten by any who had tried. Enter Mads Mikkelson. At first glance Mikkelson is an odd looking dude. He’s sort of otherworldly and I didn’t like him at all. […]
Before Game of Thrones HBO wasn’t that great at doing adaptations. Sure, Trueblood was very successful but it wasn’t particularly faithful. In fact, there’s an entire season that consists entirely of what boils down to a chapter from one of the books. One season, a chapter. Stretching a bit thin you think? But that’s […]
This mini series was my introduction to Pride and Prejudice, and to Jane Austen period. I was a little kid, too young to read the book, when this came out. My mom and I would run marathons of it in our 5 or 6 part VHS collection. (You see kids, a VHS was a […]
My slight obsession with the voice of Benedict Cumberbatch is hardly a secret. When I first got Spotify I searched his name and listened to him read a couple of short stories and his velvety smooth voice and practically melted. And then I discovered this radio play called Cabin Pressure. Radio plays aren’t very […]
