Accio Eyeshadow! When Reddit user Spellsandstars first posted pictures of her imagined Harry Potter House Palettes, she wanted to make it clear that she owns nothing HP related. In fact, she’s an artist. Not a manufacturer, not a marketer, she’s someone who imagined an amazing idea and wanted to share it with the world. Well, I’m …
If you were alive in the late 80’s, early 90’s, there is no WAY you missed Full House. Okay, so you might have pretended to be too cool for it, but anyone who was anyone either had a crush on Uncle Jesse, or thought Joey was the funniest person they’d ever heard of, or thought …
If you are a strong-willed, articulate parent like I am, you’ll no doubt agree that cowardice is for dummy-stupidheads. Don’t get me wrong, if you’re afraid to jab a stick into a rabid dog in the eye there’s nothing wrong with you, you’re smart. In fact, congratulations because you’re smarter than I am. But we …
Yesterday something glorious happened. The teaser trailer for the new Beauty and the Best movie starring none other than HERMIONE herself came out. From the very moment the screen went black to start off the monologue at the beginning of the first Disney Beauty and the Best movie I was hooked. This movie had everything. Daring …

When I first heard the news that there was going to be a Ghostbusters reboot with an all-female cast, I was mostly just confused. For me, it was one of those “why fix what isn’t broken?” moments, because the original is such a classic. It was a movie that must have sounded ridiculous before it was …

Some people might call what’s happening outside in the Northern Hemisphere a “winter wonderland.” Personally, I like to call it various slightly inappropriate words that I’m not allowed to use on this website. Either way, we can probably all agree on the fact that it’s rather…frozen out there. Luckily, there are several ways to combat …
AT-ATs have got to be the most misunderstood beings in the Star Wars universe. Those big metal beasts are really just gentle giants looking for a little love. You just know those off-duty stormtroopers were playing fetch with them in Empire Strikes Back before that whole thing with the war and the death and the …
Alan Rickman is (and always will be) one of my favorite actors ever. The first time I ever saw him was as he played Hans Gruber in Die Hard. At the time I was too young to really know much about him, but I knew I hated him. My dad told me that was a good …
When I was in middle school, we had a lot of slumber parties, and at every single one of these slumber parties, we watched THE LABYRINTH. (It’s even one of my top ten favorite movies of all time.) I didn’t know it then, but David Bowie is and always will be a big part of …
Just in case you’ve been under a rock, I’m going to go ahead and call this one as NSFW. There is no cursing or anything more than innuendo, but c’mon, it’s Ricky Gervais. If you’ve got kids in the room, or kids in general, maybe don’t watch this. No, you should still watch it, it’s …
We may never solve the question of what happens to socks in the dryer that turns them from a pair to singletons, but that’s okay…because those single socks can be super useful on their own! Just ask Dobby the House Elf. I mean, all it took was one sock to free him from a lifetime …
WARNING: This post contains spoilers for both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and HBO’s Girls. When my boyfriend came home after seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the first time, he asked me if I “knew that goofy looking guy from the show Girls (HBO) was in the movie?” “Adam? Hannah’s boyfriend?” “Yeah. He plays …
If you know me personally, you know that I’m usually pretty good in social situations. I’m quick with the wit, don’t always smell bad, and remember to flush. But my husband’s grandmother makes me nervous. She’s old world, as in schooled at a French convent, forks in the right place, English isn’t her first language …

I wanted to tell you something about the new Disney Pixar movie FINDING DORY, but I can’t remember what I was going to say…which is appropriate considering I have kids and I’m pretty sure I traded my brain in for them at birth. What I know for sure is I LOVE Dory and can’t wait …
I can not wait for Beauty and the Beast to come out. Like, I’d be waiting in line outside the theater for opening night if it weren’t cold outside. And because I’m so excited, I’ve been searching out every single video I can find online that hints to what might happen or how it might …
The Princess Bride is by and far the best movie to have ever been made, ever. When I was a teenager, I had the entire movie from the opening sound of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” all the way to the ending song “Storybook Love” memorized. Every word, every pause, every single bit of …
When it comes to childhood memories, some are great – like those times you got an extra gumball out of the machine, and some are not so great – like those times your hamster kept getting stuck in the couch and no one could find him. For most, the first animated movie they went to …
If you all will a-ca-scuse me for a minute or two, I’m going to share with you some truth bombs: Pitch Perfect is the best movie. Ever. Yeah, sure, you’re thinking of all those movie lists right now where all the movies won Oscars, or all the actors were multi-award winners or whatevs, but if …

My nephew loves yellow. LOVES it. It’s his favorite color, his favorite socks, he even wants a yellow room at some point (but he shares with his brother, so let’s face it – probably not going to happen). So is it any wonder he’s gone completely mad for the Minions in all their bright yellow …

An old prophecy stated, “The geeks shall rise up and inherit the earth.” Many of us didn’t believe it…until Joss Whedon drifted down from the heavens and bestowed upon the world…The Avengers Franchise.

Each generation has “the” movie that you will remember as you grow up and will always have fond memories of. I remember how much I loved The Lion King when I was a kid. The current obsession, which I do believe is more of an obsession than any other movie ever has been, is Disney’s Frozen. …

The other day I air-popped some popcorn and sat down on my couch to watch a movie on my big ‘ol television, and I started to wonder… are people still going to movie theaters? Is that still something people do, or do we instead sit at home with our surround sound, hd television, fancy tv …
Let me just say that Snow White is one of my all time favorite movies. It holds serious sentimental value for me, because it was the first movie I ever saw in the theater, and it was a special outing with my mom I’ll never forget. So, yesterday when Snow White was on the Disney …
No, not that kind of spoiled, silly. I am the queen of spoilers, I read them religiously. And since I am in love with all things Twilight recently, I read piles of spoilers. So, now that the big DVD release is just a few days away, here’s the problem. I am not excited about it …
