By now dear readers you know what a “What’s Going On?” post details but for any newcomers, or if you just need a refresher, I’ll explain what it means. Basically, I couldn’t think of a topic to write about so instead of stressing myself out I’ve decided to write about what I did last week. …

I recently saw the new CGI (not live action, as some sources have said) remake of Disney’s The Lion King and the animation was amazing. The movie itself didn’t stray from the original cartoon; for the most part it was a shot for shot remake of the cartoon. But it’s the animation that I can’t even …
Well there was a time where I would post one of these every couple of months because I couldn’t think of anything to write about, so I’m at least happy that I’ve found other topics to keep this blog more interesting than the boring things I’ve been up to. But alas, I couldn’t think of …
I’ve talked about dead women a few times on this blog, usually in relation to dead mothers, a trope I’ve become a lot more aware of since my mom died. When I wrote about the dead mom’s trope I counted seventeen different T.V. shows and movies that have characters with dead moms or use the …
I’ve mentioned before about how I’ve newly come to enjoy the horror genre, though that hasn’t really crossed over to movies. The music cues and jump scares just get to me and make the whole experience stressful and scary, which I guess means the filmmakers have done a good job. And that of course is …
I’m not very good at remembering certain things I’ve done; or rather I’m not great at remembering achievements. It’s not that I have a bad memory; it’s actually pretty good (unless it’s remembering people, then its bad). It’s just that I Maybe I just have too high standards for myself, whatever the reason I wanted …
I just finished binge watching Jane the Virgin on Netflix, a show which I’ve quickly become obsessed with, and with so many cliff-hangers I need to physically force myself to stop watching it. But as I was finishing the fourth season, I found myself reluctant to finish it. I wasn’t trying to bide my time for the …
On Sunday I finally saw the Incredibles 2 (and I just noticed that that’s the official title of the movie. Not The Incredibles 2 but Incredibles 2 which is really weird to me) with a group of friends. There were nine of us in total, we nearly had an entire row to ourselves in the theatre, and of course it …
(First, HI CHANTAL!) Alright, now let’s start Sarah’s regularly scheduled blog post! As I mentioned in last week’s post, I watched A Quiet Place and loved it. It was scary and so incredibly well done with its portrayal of familial love, determination, and probably the best and most surprising thing is that the movie is told …
Today* was a miserable day, not because something bad happened, but because of the weather. Southern Ontario was hit with a “historical” ice storm on Saturday going into Sunday. And sure, the aftermath of ice storms are always beautiful with the ice covered trees and bushes, but having to scrape your car off and waddle …
