Summer Movie Trailers 2017
With this weekend’s release of Guardian’s of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the summer movie season is officially underway (ignore the fact that the solstice isn’t until June). This summer brings a number of highly anticipated films, including a female-lead superhero movie along with some sequels, remakes, and originals. Here are trailers for the films I’m most ...
Review: Black Sails Series Finale
*All the spoilers ahead* A couple weeks ago Starz’s Black Sails came to an end after four seasons. The show was set up as a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, but incorporated many historical figures and famous pirates into the show along with politics from the British government as the pirates fight to maintain control of Nassau. ...
My “Sky” Themed Dream Loot Crate
I’m stealing this idea from the many other bloggers who have posted their “Dream Loot Crate”. I’ve been receiving the Loot Crate subscription box since January. Loot Crate is geared toward nerdy fandom with different themes every month. I reviewed January’s “Origins” themed crate here. I’ve been enjoying receiving the boxes, it’s like Christmas every ...
Finding Sailor Moon: A Binge-Watching Story
I have recently become a Sailor Moon fan- as in, the past few months. I’m not sure what took me so long to get on board with the series. There are a lot of people in my circle who love- LOVE- Sailor Moon, but I have always had reservations. I guess, I saw the school girl ...
Miyazaki Rewatch: Howl’s Moving Castle
If I had to chose a personal favorite among Hayao Miyazaki’s films, it would probably be Howl’s Moving Castle. In fact, it’s a personal all-time favorite film. This was the first Miyazaki film that I saw, freshman year of college, and watching Howl’s, a door opened and I couldn’t consume Miyazaki’s works fast enough. Rewatching it a few ...
Loot Crate Unboxing: January 2017 “Origins”
This month I received my first Loot Crate, which is also my first subscription box. I did some research around the internet, trying to decide on a subscription box geared toward my nerdy interests and Loot Crate was high on many lists. After receiving January’s “Origins” themed crate, I’m pretty happy with my investment.
Miyazaki Rewatch: Kiki’s Delivery Service
Avoiding the cold weather over the weekend, I decided they best way to spend a Sunday indoors was to watch some of my favorite anime classics. Kiki’s was the first DVD I popped in and realized that it had been years since I’ve watched many Miyazaki films. Rewatching these movies is a new experience and, I’ve found, ...
NASA’s New Missions
On January 4, NASA published a press release, stating that two Discovery Program missions have been chosen that will explore the history of our solar system- essentially meaning they are sending spacecrafts to study asteroids. The mission named Lucy is set to launch in 2021 and will explore six of Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids. The other ...
My Christmas List
Christmas is already just a week and a half away. Luckily I’ve done most of my shopping, in hopes to avoid last minute holiday stress. There are a lot of exciting items out there for us consumers, especially the nerdy ones, like me. Here’s a list of items I’m hoping to get, giving, or coveting ...
Thoughts on Doctor Strange
I saw Doctor Strange over the weekend, the newest addition to the Marvel movie universe. I’m not going to lie, these Marvel movies are beginning to get monotonous for me. How many twenty minute, CGI, multi-character battle sequences do I really need to see? Doctor Strange offered a break from the many-character films that Marvel has released lately ...
