I had the best intentions of doing a wrap-up post of 2024 highlights before the end of the year, but the holiday lethargy/turkey coma set in and I didn’t feel particularly inspired to spend more time on the computer. Instead, I squirrelled into books, went on outdoor adventures, played guitar, and spent time with the …
I really enjoyed Megan Park’s first feature film – The Fallout – so I was eager to see My Old Ass, which stars Maisy Stella (who went viral at 8 years old for singing a cups-infused “Call Your Girlfriend” cover with her sister Lennon) and Aubrey Plaza. Aubrey Plaza is THE MOMENT right now, starring …
Wow – I just realized it’s been four years to the day since I started this blog. I suppose it’s not so “little” now that it has over 132 posts. I started this blog after returning from a one-month trip to New Zealand, where I found so much joy sharing my adventures and having so …
I’ve been wanting to see How to Blow Up a Pipeline for a while. I really enjoyed Ariela Barer’s work in Marvel Runaways and was keen to see this movie that she not only acts in, but also co-wrote and co-produced. And, it did not disappoint. Fittingly for a 1 hr 43 min run time, …
I so enjoyed watching the Swedish film Forever last night that the Netflix algorithm rightfully served up to me. The narrative follows two teenage best friends – Kia and Mila – who have dreams of playing professional soccer. When a former Swedish pro comes to coach their team, their training becomes more serious, and their …

Here are a few shows I’ve been enjoying lately, including a mind-bending science documentary, an Australian teen drama-comedy, and yet another fantasy show featuring a magical boarding school. Human Playground Narrated by Idris Elba, Human Playground is a people-focused Planet Earth that chronicles how people “play”. This includes rituals steeped in ancient beginnings to modern-day …
Hot on the heels of Heartstopper, Hulu’s new movie Crush delivers another heartwarming queer story – this time in the form of a high school rom-com. The story follows artsy high schooler Paige (Rowan Blanchard) who joins her high school track team to avoid suspension after she is accused of being the school’s mysterious graffiti …
There was a month there where things were pretty dry on the TV-front and I delved deep into books. But, I’m pleased to report that time is over and books are for squares! Just kidding, but I’m back to the other rectangular entertainment box, and have these new watches to recommend: Julia I launched this …
I’d heard West Side Story was very good, but that very few people had gone to see its theatrical release over the holidays. So, I had some tempered expectations going in. But, after the first few seconds of the “Prologue” music playing, I was transfixed, and remained so for the next 2 hours and 38 …
