I hadn’t necessarily planned to watch the movie Twisters. But in much the same way I hadn’t initially planned to watch A Quiet Place: Day One, the surprisingly good reviews from critics and the general online buzz compelled me to give it a shot. And you know what? It’s a
Although I knew that, as soon as I saw the trailer for Fly Me to the Moon, I had to see this movie, I was also a bit unsure what to expect. I was interested in seeing Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum acting opposite each other in a romantic comedy
A Quiet Place: Day One was not the movie I was expecting it to be. While I thought the first Quiet Place movie was a clever and well-made horror film, I have to admit I can’t remember if I actually watched the sequel or not. And I wasn’t necessarily interested
Dearest gentle reader, I find that I must make a confession: I am hopelessly and utterly obsessed with Bridgerton. I devoured the newest episodes within days and am so desperate for more that I am rewatching all the previous episodes, despite the fact that I’m woefully behind on my list
I had no experience with the Mad Max franchise before going to see Fury Road in theaters back in 2015. I saw it because of the ESO podcast, actually, and I didn’t really know what to expect and was unsure if I’d end up liking it. However, the movie absolutely
This year, the summer 2024 blockbuster season feels a little different (and maybe even a little anticlimactic). My most anticipated blockbuster of the year – Dune: Part 2 – has already come and gone (don’t ask how many times I saw it in theaters, because it’s an embarrassingly high number).
At this point, I know I’m starting to sound like I’m being sponsored by Apple TV+, but I promise, I’m paying my own hard-earned cash for this streaming service. I just keep finding amazing new content on this platform that I’m really excited to talk about! While I’m sure there’s
My intention this year was to try out a bunch of different streaming services, subscribing to one at a time and then switching every couple months. Well, so far I’ve sort of failed at that goal, because I can’t seem to let go of Apple TV+. I loved Monarch: Legacy
The comparisons are inevitable. Last year’s Godzilla Minus One was a remarkable film (one of my favorites of the year). It had a thought-provoking story that combined exciting action with genuine emotion. The human characters had actual depth and moving arcs. I’m sure it comes as little surprise that Godzilla
I put off watching Ted Lasso for a long time. I’m not sure why. Sometimes I get cold feet when it comes to committing to a new TV show (it takes a lot more time to watch a multiple-season series vs. a stand-alone movie). I didn’t have Apple TV+ and
I love the story of Dune so, so much — which is not really a sentence I would have anticipated writing when I first tried reading the book about a decade ago. For whatever reason, I didn’t really connect with Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel back then. Maybe it wasn’t
I feel like a large portion of my Geek experience in recent history has been spent waiting for Dune. First, Dune: Part One was delayed from its planned 2020 release to 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, Dune: Part Two was delayed from 2023 to 2024, due to the
