THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES Review
I have to admit, I didn’t have the highest hopes for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I liked the book. It was a good story with compelling characters. But I had one big, major complaint: we didn’t need some tragic backstory for President Snow. Just let a bad guy be a bad guy simply […]
‘Survivor 45’ Episode 7 Recap: “The Thorn In My Thumb”
Dakuwaqa Kaleb is riding high after his Shot in the Dark play. But still, all other 11 players voted against him (Austin sacrificed his vote to get his Beware idol to a fully powered idol). He has some serious work to do. He knows there might be some people he can trust, who maybe only […]
THE MARVELS Review: Uneven, But A Terrific Trio Of Leads
I did not have the highest hopes for The Marvels. I was worried it would require audiences to have seen both Ms. Marvel and WandaVision. The trailers did it no favors. In particular, the humor looked like it was going to be cringey and completely unfunny. While some of my fears were realized, it was […]

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON Review
Money – and the prospect of more money – can drive already terrible people to commit even more terrible acts. To these people, it doesn’t matter who or what stands in their way. If they see an opportunity for money, power, and influence, they’re going to jump at it, no matter who they hurt in […]
‘Survivor 45’ Episode 4 Recap: “Music To My Ears”
Lulu Now that they’re just a trio, Sean knows he’s in a bad spot. He was left out of the Sabiyah vote, and was completely blindsided. He plays it off okay, saying the right things. But there’s no denying his current position in the game. Sean says he wants to move forward with Kaleb and […]
‘Survivor 45’ Episode 3 Recap: “No Man Left Behind”
Lulu Emily is appreciative of the tribe keeping her around. There seem to be better vibes than the very start of the game. Sabiyah gives Emily her Shot in the Dark back without hesitation. Emily is actually surprised, but why? It would be a terrible social move for her to keep it. However, Emily picked […]
‘Survivor 45’ Episode 2 Recap: “Brought A Bazooka To A Tea Party”
Oh baby. We start off with a “Previously on Survivor” segment AND we get the full opening credits? We’re eating good now.
