The Kissing Booth 2 is coming! If you’re anything me, then you love rom-com more than, well all the boys you’ve loved before. And we couldn’t be more excited about it. Even Beth Reekles (the author who wrote the novels the movies are based on) is in on the fun! The Kissing Booth 2 Sequel …
The new Frozen 2 Trailer from Disney is here today, and I can’t stop watching it. But we have a major issue. Anna is basically a pumpkin spice latte drinking, Ugg wearing basic white girl, and I just don’t know how to feel about that. I guess it kind of makes sense. If you think …
Elsa and Anna are BACK! Frozen 2’s official release date has already been announced, and now Disney just dropped this bomb Frozen 2 Trailer.

I am so ready to be transported back to Truvy’s, and now we get to see Steel Magnolias on the BIG SCREEN! It’s the Steel Magnolia’s 30th Anniversary. (Did you know the name is actually because women are delicate like a magnolia, but also tough as steel?) Whoa, did I just say 30th anniversary? Am …
October is typically the time when most of us expect a new horror movie from Netflix to release and creep the hell out of us. Right now? Not so much. READ: THESE ARE THE SECRET NETFLIX CODES TO UNLOCK EVERYTHING ON NETFLIX But, people are so scared out of their minds that they are sleeping …
This is pretty hardcore. Rowing down a river blindfolded with her kids. All in like, the first thirty seconds. They really dropped us right into the action.
We are a nation divided, people, and I think it’s time we decide. Thor or Aquaman. Who’s hotter?
Netflix Christmas movies are something special. They’re like something straight out of a Harlequin romance novel. (Like, for real– some of these are actually based on romance novels.) The campy acting, super-cute heroines and all-too-hunky guys might seem a little bit overdone, but let’s be honest, WE ARE TOTALLY OKAY WITH THAT. It’s Christmas for …
Y’all. I just finished TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE on Netflix and all I can really say is, you have to watch this movie. RIGHT NOW. What are you even still doing here? GO NOW, open up your Netflix app, get a snack and watch this movie. Because you’re about to have all …

We are huge Star Wars fans at my house! So much so that we made our own Lightsaber Sugar Scrub! It was totally my daughter’s idea to do the light side/ dark side thing, and I LOVE the way we got both colors into the bottle. What you need to make Lightsaber Sugar Scrub 1/3 Cup …
Yes, Christmas is for kids. Blah, blah. It’s a holiday of hope, and peace, and cheer. But, for those of us with truly geeky hearts, that doesn’t mean we can’t geek out just a little bit when it comes to decorating our trees. In fact, what kind of fans would we be if we didn’t …

Halloween is the big kick-off bash for the ‘Holiday Season’ and boy is it a bash! Between the candy, and parties, costumes, and themes, Halloween has a way of getting under even the most humbuggy of humbug’s skin. But if you’re not quite there yet, there are some really fun movies that will get you …
While everyone on the internet has spent the past few days marveling over the super hot emergency workers down in Florida, I’m just sitting here staring at pictures of Ben Skarsgård and wondering how they made someone so ridiculously beautiful look so terrifyingly scary in IT? Yeah, that actor who plays the scary clown in IT? …
This is not a drill, folks: your littles are about to have a meltdown and right now there’s nothing you can do to change that. Disney has decided to pull their entire library off of streaming giant, Netflix, so it can hack out its own piece of the streaming pie. Sometime in 2019, Disney will …
When we marry our sweetheart most of the time we’re young, kinda dumb, and basically broke. I mean, a lot of us, at least. Let’s get real: most of us do not have the fairytale marriage that we dreamed of when we were five. You know, that marriage we practiced out with the Barbie and …
If you’re a Netflix hound like me, the end of the month is your least favorite time, and the beginning is the best. At the end of each month, Netflix gets rid of a bunch of movies…sometimes your favorites…sometimes ones that were in your list but you hadn’t quite made it to them yet. And …
Look, if you’re female and have a uterus that still does it’s monthly molting, you’ve been here. There’s just nothing worse than being a tough-ass woman 90% of the time, and then having those one or two days a month where you’re tearful for no flecking reason and then “IT” starts. Yeah. We’ve ALL been …

So, I was at a conference (sort of) recently and seated for dinner with other writer/reader types—who are also good friends I get to see not often enough—when the conversation turned, as it does, to Hogwarts’ houses. Look, don’t even pretend you haven’t had the “what house would you be in” conversation, or secretly sorted …
This is the movie I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Okay, maybe not my whole life. Maybe just since I saw Breaking Bad. In fact, ever since I saw Breaking Bad I’ve imagined Walt in all of Bryan Cranston’s roles. I can’t help it. He was That Good. But with Why Him coming out, …
Growing up there are certain stories that stick with us. Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was a big one for me. The bright colors, odd characters, and of course mounds and mounds of candy. The idea that a little boy could win a magic ticket to a fantasy land and have a chance to …
Princess Leia changed my life. This is not hyperbole. I come from a pre-Katniss, pre-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer, pre-Hillary-Clinton era. I know this makes me sound old, but I grew up in Texas, so subtract like ten years from the female empowerment timeline. Oh, we had Governor Ann Richards, but she was considered an aberration. There was Ripley …
When I was very young (around the age of 5 or whenever the hell it is you start having actual memories), I liked my December birthday. It’s Christmas Eve. Being close to a holiday that my siblings and friends were excited about made me feel special. My Mom used to jokingly call me ‘Kyle Christmas’ …

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 …
Some people love Christmas, but we’ve all got that one friend who REALLY LOVES CHRISTMAS.

And while some of us drag out …
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 …

Anyone worth their Halloween salt is a fan of Jack Skellington and Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas. No, no, it’s true. I mean, Jack Skellington is the king of Halloween town, after all.

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 …
