Until Dawn
Sometime last year, long before we knew the film was happening, my husband had me play Until Dawn. Now as someone who isn’t an avid gamer (I’ve got a few hundred hours of Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dreamlight Valley clocked but that’s about it), I loved it. I loved the story and I had a great time, then we saw the trailer for the movie annnnnd, I didn’t have a lot of hope.

Thunderbolts
When the cast of characters for Thunderbolts was first announced I was immediately skeptical because I truly hate when things happen off screen. And John Walker did not do enough by the end of Falcon and the Winter Soldier for Bucky to just be chill being on a team with him. So I definitely went into this movie with some reservations. The internet raved about it, but the general public is so often wrong, especially when it comes to comic book movies that it did nothing to ease my concerns.

Honey, Don't!
I have taken my gummies for the evening but I still have to do a review so here we are. You are getting my unfiltered stream of consciousness thoughts on Honey, Don't! I felt like this was a good choice to watch while high and boy was I correct. So be careful of sentences that aren’t real sentences. Please remember that I am intoxicated with the devil's grass.

The Unsuspecting Victim Grazes Happily On Caviar
The Beast In Me (2025) TV Series - A Spoilers-Free Review As a fan of both Homeland (2011) and The Americans (2013) TV series, when I saw Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys starring in what appeared to be a limited series on Netflix, I wasted no time jumping on the remote and binge-watching all eight episodes in a single day.

Six 100-Word Movie Reviews
My Oxford Year (2025), Director: Iain Morris I was going to write off My Oxford Year as your average romance film with predictable themes and characters. You can’t base your thoughts on a movie in the first half. This is the second Sofia Carson movie to come out this year. Carson and Corey Mylchreast create a heartfelt relationship. Illness in relationships isn’t focused on enough in movies. I did not expect the film to take that angle. Relationships are not all fairytale lovey-dovey moments. Learning to handle illness is an essential lesson. My Oxford Year is a bittersweet romance about making decisions to live your best life.

Renaissance Clothing
There’s something undeniably enchanting about renaissance clothing. Maybe it’s the drama of flowing sleeves, the richness of velvet and brocade, or the little fantasy escape it gives us from today’s fast-moving world. Whatever the reason, the Renaissance era’s fashion refuses to fade — and honestly, we’re not complaining.
