Ashley Pauls

I’m a movie buff, and I love anything to do with entertainment (especially science fiction and British dramas!) I write about current and upcoming films and other entertainment-related news. I currently work as a communications coordinator, and I’m an aspiring novelist. – Ashley Marie Pauls

Movie review: Fly Me to the Moon

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

Movie review: Why ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ took me by surprise

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

What’s the big deal about Bridgerton?

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

Movie review: ‘The Fall Guy’ is a great time at the theater

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).

TV review: ‘Masters of the Air’ is a must-watch WWII historical drama

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

Content catch-up: Silo and Argylle

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

Movie review: ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ is a silly but fun flick

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

Ted Lasso – The TV show I didn’t know how much I needed

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

Hitting the fandom doldrums (and how to find your spark again!)

As geeks, one of the things we do best is, well, “geeking out” – when we see a new trailer for a film we’ve been eagerly anticipating, or buy a merch item that’s been on our wish list for years, we feel that familiar burst of giddy excitement. We want

Celebrating 25 years of geeky fun at Planet Comicon 2024

It’s always a bittersweet feeling when, on the last day of a con, you head out of the building for the last time and start the long walk back to your car, or the bus, or whatever mode of transportation you used to get there.  Your heart is full because
