What Really Happened on WandaVision?
So, fans, we're down to one episode left of the Disney + series and this eighth and exciting episode ended with more of a cliffhanger than any of the previous episodes. At the end of the episode, we finally understand what really happened in the post Endgame world we were left with and how Vision came to be back in Westview. We know now, that Agatha Harkness has been manipulating things behind the scenes but it certainly doesn't look like she is the only one. Wanda has done a fair amount of manipulating along the way, creating a world that her grieving, fractured and traumatized mind could live within, finding a sort of peace after everything we knew she had gone through. So let's take a look at what we've learned.

The Push by Ashley Audrain
The Push is not usually the kind of book that I reach for. However, that being said, I am very glad I grabbed this book. It is a candid book; you see moments where the main character, Blythe, is at her best, but many parts of the book detail her struggles adjusting to life and dealing with grief. This book is a very emotional read, and, because of this, I will warn that this book is not for everyone. If you are wanting something lighthearted with a happy ending, do not read this book.

Review: Less Is Now
I just had to watch Less Is Now because I am obsessed with The Minimalists. They have changed my life in so many ways from reading their blog to listening to that podcast. I just knew that the minute this documentary was out I had to watch it.

You've Got Mail fans will love this new show
Looking through your Queue can be exhausting, and its not always super accurate. So how do you find what to watch next? I love romantic comedies, and honestly, 90's era romcoms are some of my all-time favorites. Meg Ryan definitely gave us quite a few classics like Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally and Kate and Leopold. But my favorite of hers will always be You've Got Mail.

If The Good Wife, Then Spanish Soaps
I'm a fair-weather consumer of entertainment. I prefer attractive, stylish casts. I like romance, some intrigue, humor and decent writing. A realistic plot matters somewhat, but mostly I just want a happy ending.

The Films That Award Ceremonies Forget
It was a foregone conclusion that in 1993, Schindler’s List would take away most of the significant film awards, followed closely behind by Tom Hanks’ groundbreaking performance in Philadelphia. The year-end roster included other fine cinematic works like In The Name Of The Father and The Piano.

My Review of "Someone Marry Barry"
Someone Marry Barry came out back in 2014. That's only 7 years ago and yet some of the dialogue in this movie seems vastly outdated. I could have swore I was watching a movie from the early 2000s but it was more recent than that. It's a shock to see how much society has changed in such a short period of time. That's not to say this movie wasn't entertaining to watch though. If you can handle some of the not so politically correct dialogue you may enjoy this.

Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers
Dark Triumph is the second book of the His Fair Assassin trilogy, but it feels like a very different book from Grave Mercy. While both books are set in the court of 15th century Brittany, Dark Triumph deals mainly with the D’Albret household instead of the queen’s entire court. The change in main character and the change in setting means that the reader is in for a book that is distinct from the first of the series.

My Review of "Gemini Man"
Gemini Man is one of the last blockbuster movies that came out back in 2019. It made a big controversy when it was released at 48 frames per second in the theatres. Not a lot of people were too pleased with this but now I'm curious as to how it might have looked in that frame rate after streaming the movie.

Anti-Hero Love
A Judge’s gavel slammed or a referee’s red flag waived and your fate has been sealed. No turning back. You are either going to prison or are sentenced to the life of a has-been. One fate surely seems worse than the other. But prisons are not just bars and a cell. They are also man-made. And can be unmade.

You Should (Not) Hate Gabi
I’ve seen a lot of hate on Gabi from Attack on Titan’s current season. People call her annoying, bratty, spoiled, and so on. The hate might have something to do with Gabi shooting one of the most beloved characters in the show as they celebrated what they thought to be a victory in enemy territory.
