Remember how I said that the baby did terribly on the plane (and every other form of transportation), and so neither the Boy nor I had a chance to get much reading done? Well, the other thing I had been hoping to do on those long, long flights was to watch a movie or two. […]

Movie – Molly’s Game
Back when I was in college, that’s when I remember poker becoming a “thing” – the kind of thing where they broadcast tournaments on television, and it seemed like everyone was learning or re-learning how to play. I was always a very very middling sort of player – I knew enough so that I was […]
Movie – Ready Player One
You know how there’s that saying, “Never meet your heroes”? I feel like there should be a correlary for the movie industry “never make a movie when you don’t respect the original property”. Saying that makes it sound like I didn’t like the movie version of Ready Player One, which is not entirely correct. There’s […]
Movie – Solo: A Star Wars Story
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, it makes me sad that while I used to be so on top of seeing movies in the theaters, it hasn’t been the kind of thing I’m reasonably able to do anymore. Sure, I could call on my mom or other babysitters to come and watch baby […]
Movie – Ocean’s 8
Last month there was a weekend where E was out at a sleepover, and we just had H with us for the evening (Baby B doesn’t count, because she doesn’t do much except sleep after 7pm – most of the time). So because we had some freedom that evening, and wanted to do something fun […]
Movie – Black Panther
In the days before and immediately after my baby girl was born, I remember the major cultural point of discussion being Black Panther, which was about to come out. People who had seen it already thought it was amazing – it had few bad reviews, and was being hailed as not just a really good […]
Movie – RBG
A few years back I read The Notorious RBG, a biography of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In fact, it was during my trip to New York City that took place on the tiny plane that I devoured the book. When you’re trying really hard not to look out the windows, because the plane […]
Movie – To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (Netflix)
As previously established, I love a good romantic comedy. There are times when I will even enjoy a BAD romantic comedy, but nowadays with my eyeball time being more and more precious, I tend to find myself only devoting it to things that are either proven to be good, or that are 100% in my […]
Movie – The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Netflix)
I love a good historical fiction. It’s probably my favorite genre, and there are some that are done better than others (of course, it’s true that you’ll find trash in any genre if you look). I am particularly drawn to ones that cover an area of the world that I am perhaps not as familiar […]
Movie – Set It Up (Netflix)
I love a good romantic comedy. There was a period in the early 2000s when there wasn’t one I hadn’t seen, and that was back in the day when they were still making a LOT of romantic comedies – medium budget movies that brought in a decent amount of money. The problem lies in the […]
