The Night I Stopped Waiting for Wings
I was fifteen the first time I saw the wings. It was 2009. My best friend and I huddled in her basement, sharing a bag of chips, eyes glued to the TV as women in glitter and lace walked like they owned the air itself. They were radiant, powerful, untouchable. One wore wings so wide they brushed the stage lights; another smiled like she held the secret to happiness itself.

The Materialists
Ya know when this movie first came out I thought what a shame it is that Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans were even in this movie. Because I love both of them and they are fantastic actors but the person that ties their characters together is Dakota Johnson and she’s just such a bad actress.

Stranger Things Series Review (Season 5: Vol I, II & Finale)
For nine years, Stranger Things has dominated the streaming charts with its lovable characters, visceral sci-fi horror and affectionate tributes to the eighties. Many an audience has been captivated by the show; it’s a shame then that the end of this long-running saga falls short in several places.

The Boy in the Rain
I didn’t go for the game. I went for my nephew. He’s twelve, wears a faded jersey two sizes too big, and talks about football like it’s scripture. “It’s not just running and tackling, Uncle,” he’d said, eyes wide. “It’s about heart. About who shows up when no one’s watching.”

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2025 (Part 2: The Top 5)
2025 was kind of a special year for Lifetime movies. I mentioned in Part 1 that we saw angles that were very new to the Lifetime film scene, but we also saw a good amount of star power as well in thrillers. In thrillers! Lifetime usually saves the big guns for holiday films and true crime retellings, but we saw some interesting names appear for Lifetime this year. Some of them even played villainesses. The casting in some films has given this fan hope for future films, but that's another few stories.

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2025 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
Five years. It's hard to believe that this is my fifth year compiling this list. I love Lifetime films with a passion and have for about a quarter-century now. Those who read my stories wonder when I start really preparing the list. When do I exactly start the process of elimination in my mind as I watch Lifetime's amazing movies? No, the answer's not January or February. It's usually around Stanley Cup Playoff time--late spring/early summer.

Does Strange Things Have A Horcrux Problem?
Like many, I’ve been watching the final season of Stranger Things, avidly keeping up with the gang of tweens-turned-teenage nerds ever since they discovered the mysterious Eleven in the woods. But, unlike the previous four 80s pining seasons where a “big-bad” has appeared, threatening the cast and their Americana dull hometown of Hawkins, whether it’s the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer, or the Russians, season 5 is unique not only in bringing back a previous antagonist from season 4, Vecna, but also heavily retconning the series to make it appear as though they have always been the series antagonist from the start.
