Forgive me, Agent Carter, for I have failed you. Consider this an apology for all the years I’ve avoided you. I am so sorry. It was a mistake on my part. From the beginning, I was fully aware of your existence, I knew of the show’s critical acclaim, but I never felt the need to…

Help! I Can’t Stop Watching THOR: RAGNAROK
It’s happening again. I just can’t help myself, I don’t want to stop. I just keep at it, pressing rewind again and again. Oh, Gods! It’s all my fault. Unlike my dalliance with Divergent, my need to watch Thor: Ragnarok on an endless loop is solely my choice and not because it plays constantly on…
A Recap
Recently, I’ve noticed an abundance of fresh faces roaming around. With the blog’s anniversary right around the corner, I thought it might be nice to welcome my new followers with a quick recap of the past ten years. After all, they’ve missed quite a lot. 😀 1. I’ve challenged myself to write a post every…
Movie Review: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears
Fearless, feminist icon and glamorous lady detective, Phryne Fisher, has returned from an extended hiatus for an all-new, high-flying adventure. Rejoice! Our favorite flapper is back.

What Are You Watching?
Two weeks at home, without much to do, means that you can catch up on some films and shows that have been waiting impatiently on your To Be Watched list. Three days in to required and extremely necessary social distancing and I’ve already sorted through three episodes of The Witcher, a much-needed re-watch of Moulin…
Thanks, Netflix
I found myself in a very common situation recently. I had filled my daily to-do list with achievable tasks. I had psyched myself up for a day of success. I was all ready for a full day of productivity when I decided to stop for a five minute procrastination break before I began. I checked…
The Batman
Happy Valentine’s Day, my lovelies! I love you so much I got you a gift, a little something special. You may have already seen it. You may have already taken a peek at it, but I think it’s worth repeating. It is quite astonishing, after all. When I first saw the short teaser I thought,…
Now Playing: Fred Astaire – “Cheek to Cheek”
This morning, I was prepared to go into a long-winded speech about Fred Astaire and how he was my favorite actor from the golden age of Hollywood. I thought I’d tell you how he got his start in vaudeville as a young child, dancing with his sister, Adele. I thought I’d talk about Astaire’s transition…
I ❤️ Captain Marvel
There’s been a lot of negative talk about Captain Marvel lately and I’ve been having a really hard time staying quiet about it. It’s taken all of my strength not to say anything, because if there is one thing I know about social media and the internet, it’s that you shouldn’t respond to every sexist…
Movie Review: Little Women
We all have a favorite film adaptation of Little Women. Whether it be Hepburn, Allyson, or Ryder, it’s a film we all know. It’s a film we’ve all grown up with. We’ve memorized every scene, every line of dialogue. We know the film backwards and forwards. We know it by heart. Although each incarnation is…
