My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery, always buzzing, humming, soaring, roaring, diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What's this passion for? Virginia Woolf
Lovecraft Country (S1 Review) | An Educational Fantasy Journey
I'm a scaredy-cat, I know that about myself and I'm O.K. with it. It's the reason why I was so reluctant to see Lovecraft Country even though I wanted to watch and review the pilot when it aired. I didn't. This series nagged at me and I caved. I watched the pilot in broad daylight … Continue reading Lovecraft Country (S1 Review) | An Educational Fantasy Journey

The Boys in the Band (Movie Review) | Shades of Queerness and Friendships
I am no theater geek, so I'm not quite sure how this movie came to my attention. I think it might have been when the actors in this piece were promoting the play on various late night talk shows. Maybe it's the cast themselves, Jim Parsons (Home, The Big Bang Theory, Hidden Figures), Matt Bomer … Continue reading The Boys in the Band (Movie Review) | Shades of Queerness and Friendships

Enola Holmes (Movie Review) | A Great Synergy of Writing, Acting, Directing and Everything in Between
It was only when the movie was annouced that I became aware of Enola Holmes. Although a newer character in the Sherlock Holmes mythology, I wasn't phased by it because I've been pleasantly surprised by many versions of Sherlock, Watson, and Mycroft. Directed by Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Dickensian) and adapted by Jack Thorne (His Dark … Continue reading Enola Holmes (Movie Review) | A Great Synergy of Writing, Acting, Directing and Everything in Between
