Does This Typing Noise Make Me Sound Busy?

It's Movie Monday and I need to talk about Beauty and the Beast!

It’s a tale as old as time. An iconic Disney film that doesn’t need a remake. Historically, Disney remakes have seemed to flop (The Jungle Book, Cinderella) but Beauty and the Beast is an enchanting story with a grade A cast. The live-action classic film proves to still be a tale as told as time.  Beauty and the Beast bursted into theaters this past weekend with what is sure to be recording…

Looking for a great entertaining film this weekend? Kong might not be the one for you.

King Kong has been around since the 1930’s and there was no denying he would be making a return. The question was the storyline. How would he be making his return and would it be worth watching? Expectations were high for the film and though technology has helped Kong seem bigger and more realistic than ever before, the film may have fallen flat of getting the story just right. Kong: Skull Island…

I took a bit of a break but I'm getting back to the list!

Wow, I am behind on this reading list. I suppose school, work, and wedding planning were good distractions from the list. Putting that all aside for a second, I picked up Lewis Carroll’s classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. We all know the story. It’s pretty crazy but always fun to read! There are a few mentions of the novel throughout the Gilmore Girls series. First though, there is a…

I was pleasantly surprised by this film. To be honest, it was not high on my list to see despite its high ratings and Oscar nominations. However, after seeing it, I would recommend it!

Starring Casey Affleck, Kyle Chandler and Michelle Williams, the film is emotional and dramatic.  With excellent connections within the cast, the film was strong. Affleck was a surprise to me as I believe he has a…

Need a weekend getaway? Nashville is your destination!

Recently, my fiance and I took a weekend trip to Nashville, TN. Believe it or not, neither of us have been to the music city. I am proud to say we experienced all of Nashville and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

We began our trip by checking into our hotel. Almost every hotel downtown is gorgeous and a little pricey, but the expense you pay to be close to all of the action is more than worth it. We…

Choosing A Wedding Cake

Alternate forms of wedding cakes are becoming more popular in modern weddings. Whether it be nontraditional looking cakes, cupcakes, macarons, or donuts, they are all delicious! For me, I am a donut connoisseur…or I just really love donuts. Therefore, my fiance (who is not a big fan of cake) and I decided on donuts for our wedding dessert. Let’s explore all of our modern wedding dessert options…

As I attempt to see every Best Picture nominee, this week it's Hidden Figures!

Hidden Figures as been all the rave with the Oscars coming up and it being nominated for Best Pictures above other categories. As I fight to see all Best Picture nominees here in Ohio (it’s not easy to get all films in our theaters) this film was high on my list.

This empowering story based off of true events of three African-American women working for NASA during the first launches in the…

Selecting a Wedding Photographer

When it comes to selecting a photographer for your wedding there are a few questions you need to ask yourself. For me personally, pictures are important. I love photography and would shoot my own wedding if I could. However, since that is not an option, finding a photographer that fits your style and whose personality does not clash with yours is key.When beginning your photography search I…

In a time when Catholicism was outlawed, two priest travel to Japan in search for their missing mentor. The two priest face unimaginable tests as they witness the torturing of many Christians. In 1640 many Japanese had to hide their faith for face death by the government. As Portuguese priests, the men were not welcomed in the country unless they were willing to denounce God and encourage other…

Happy Movie Friday! La La Land is a must-see this weekend before the Golden Globes on Sunday!

With the Golden Globes coming up this weekend, I knew I wanted to see La La Land. It has six nominations from the acting to the directing and the screenplay. After seeing the movie for myself, I can see why. This comedic musical is a must-see in my opinion.

We start off with the cast. One can never go wrong with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. We have seen them together many times in the past and…

What's for dinner tonight? Let's head to Luke's Diner!

WIth help from the Eat Like A Gilmore (The Unofficial Cookbook for Fans of Gilmore Girls) last night’s dinner was a Luke’s favorite. I tried my hand at a turkey burger for the first time. I know it probably was nothing compared to Luke, but my fiance and I did pretty good thanks to this cookbook!

The recipe was super easy, no odd ingredients, and relatively quick to whip up. We see Luke mention…

It's Movie Monday! Why Him is surprisingly excellent. Catch the full review on the blog!

The week after Christmas and before New Years is meant for movies. That is why my fiance and I have seen five movies…we also have abnormal love for movies. The fact that neither of us is in the movie business shocks many people. Anyway, Why Himis actually quite different than what I expected. I had the expectation of the film being funny, no question there, but the film had an actually story line…

It's another Movie Friday! Head to the blog for my review of Passengers - a space love story.

I had pretty high expectations for this movie simply because Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are the leading roles. However, I was a little taken back back the films script and what it was actually about. I pictured this as a space movie (which I usually am not a fan of) but was shocked to find out it is actually a romantic comedy.

In the film, Pratt’s character has the biggest crush on…

It's movie friday! Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is unlike any other we have seen.

WARNING. If you have still not seen the film do not read beyond this point. There may be spoilers. _________________________________________________________________

This is a war movie. The Rebellion are on a mission and there is no turning back. Going into the film my expectations were honestly not that high. I was confused with how I would like this new cast and what was really going to happen…

Happy Movie Monday! Head to the blog to see the chaos of TJ MIller & Jennifer Aniston.

It’s that time of year! The snow is falling, the wind is chilly, and new movies seem to hit theaters every day. It’s the best time of the year!

I went into the theater excited to see Office Christmas Partybut I tried not to get my hopes up too high. In the end though, I really did enjoy it! The cast was perfect, the plot could have been better but it was still good. Here’s what happens: A branch…
