HBO Max’s Harley Quinn: Seasons 1 & 2 – A Few Thoughts
I subscribed to HBO Max because I am DC Comics for life and I could not resist the Zack Snyder Justice League Director’s Cut. Okay. There, I said it.

The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie – A Book Review
A good friend recommended The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd, and though it’s been in publication for almost 100 years, I’ve never read it. In fact, I’ve never read a single Agatha Christie book.

Mulan (2020) – A Movie Review
As a family, and after a very long week, we were very excited to watch Mulan the night it premiered on Disney Plus. I can honestly say it was a hit with the whole family!

My First Impression of HBO’s Lovecraft Country
I’ve been hearing buzz about Lovecraft Country for quite a while now, so when it finally debuted on HBO last Sunday night, I couldn’t wait to give the first episode a watch. The first ten minutes set the tone for this show perfectly. I’m going to try to avoid spoilers, but this show is such…

I’m Thinking Of Ending Things by Iain Reid – A Book Review
I heard Netflix planned to make this novel into a movie, so I thought I’d give it a read first. Interestingly enough, I reviewed another book by Iain Reid, Foe, exactly one year ago today. I’m Thinking Of Ending Things is Reid’s debut novel. It’s written from the perspective of a young woman who is…
