The Crimes of Gindelwald | Trailer

Is anyone else excited for the next Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie? Because… I AM. Also, somehow the title just barely dawned on me. I didn’t actually realize what the title was until a week ago. It seems like it has been such a long time since the first one came out.

Solo: A Fun and Thrilling Addition to the Saga

I wasn’t excited for a Han Solo movie. I wasn’t originally planning on going to the theater to see Solo: A Star Wars Story, but I’m glad I did. I’m really glad actually. I have to say, Solo is probably the funnest Star Wars movie that has been made so far and is definitely one of my favorites. After

Arrival: It’s Not What You Expect

We saw the trailer for Arrival. It looked promising although, if I was being completely honest, I wasn’t exactly certain what I was getting after watching it. I mean, it’s aliens right? Aliens usually entail the human race trying to kill them or them trying to kill the humans at one point or another. Yet,

A Great Start for the Fantastic Beasts Films

The long awaited moment has arrived. After the completion of the Harry Potter series, did we really dare hope for more? What am I saying?

Harry Potter Rewatch: An Introduction to the Magic

6 Bravest Acts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1

I’m continuing my list of highlights from the Harry Potter movies with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1. I originally figured I would do a “best moments” or “gut wrenching scenes” again, but just a few minutes into the movie, I knew I had to switch it up. In a world so full of

5 Gut Wrenching Moments from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

As expected, as time went on the Harry Potter movies became progressively darker; and despite the comic relief offered in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth movie was packed to the brim with moments to tug at your heartstrings. This entire movie is caught under a dark cloud of Voldemort’s evil that is increased

4 Realizations Every NaNoWriMo Participant Has After November

At one point last week, I was bemoaning the fact that I had approximately 5K to write until I was caught up in my NaNoWriMo novel. All I wanted to do was everything except write. Then I realized a few things and, thus, the first conceptions of this post entered my mind. There are a

Help Me Celebrate The Hobbit!

It’s finally December! Do you know what that means? That means Battle of the Five Armies releases December 17th. The last Middle Earth movie. And I have plans. As you can see from the banner above, I’m hosting a read-along for The Hobbit. I’ve had this event planned for months, guys, and thanks to the amazing
