Review: I had no idea this was in the works but when I found out I went ahead and read the book - that was sitting on a virtual shelf for four years. So going in I didn't know anything about the casting or the production, so I'm not going to wine about actors not … Continue reading One of Us Is Lying (Premiere Review) | I hope they keep this up

Old (Movie Review) | Was it a Twist or an Explanation?
When I became aware of this movie I didn't know it was a M. Night Shyamalan. He adapted it, produced it, and directed it; did that have an effect on my excitement for the movie? Not really but I did wonder if it was a horror movie. It's not it's a thriller and fine to … Continue reading Old (Movie Review) | Was it a Twist or an Explanation?

The creator, producer, star, and author of the memoir "I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves." - which the show is based on - Ryan O'Connell is returning. Jessica Hecht (The Boys), Punam … Continue reading Special (S2 Review) | Sincerity and Realism in a Heartfelt Comedy
