15 Family-Friendly Halloween Films

While I love a very specific kind of horror film, I also thoroughly enjoy Halloween films that are meant for the entire family (and your super squeamish friends) to watch. Here are 15 films that I adore to watch come September 1st, in no particular order: Hocus Pocus – Duh! I’m starting with this one

My Productive Writing Routine for Weekends

Struggling to find the motivation to sit down and revise the novel I’m working on or to blog has been something I’ve been trying to solve as of late. I’m someone who will easily dismiss it as a time issue. “Yeah, I really want to write, but there are so many other things to do

21 Halloween Films: The Adult Edition

Fall has always been my favourite time of the year. If I could trade in all the other seasons to forever keep decaying leaves and chilly sweater-weather-worthy mornings I would. Along with loving the season, I’ve always been into slightly scary things. I am by no means a horror movie buff. I’m not a fan

The Final Season of ’13 Reasons Why’ Has Some Flaws, but Will Break Your Heart Just the Same

The next paragraph already contains spoilers, so this is your last chance to turn back now if you haven’t watched the whole season yet. SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT! This season of ’13 Reasons Why’ was all over the map (in terms of storytelling) and this post might be too. Aside from the focus

Pros, Cons and That Other Major Thing That Happens in ‘The Rise of Skywalker’

Overall I liked ‘The Rise of Skywalker’. There are a lot of plot holes that I’ll have to fill in the blanks for to keep my sanity, but it was still entertaining to watch. That said, here is a list of pros and cons. They’re personal opinions, so you have no obligation to agree. I’ve

Stranger Things 3: Rat Goop and Ice Cream and Lots of Feelings

The third season of the series was released on the fourth of July, but there I was sitting on my couch next to my mom on July 8th ready to binge. I had to wait four days. That was agonizing, because I like participating with all the keeners online right from the get-go. Give me

My Cat is a Menace (but I Still Love Him)

I’ve talked about being an over thinker before. I’ve talked about how it often contributes to my little bouts with anxiety and how it talks me out of a lot of things I should have said yes to. Impromptu hangouts, saying what I actually wanted to say to a favourite musician, submitting a piece of

Kickstart Classic Rock’s Heart: Cat Watched ‘The Dirt’ and Liked It

I ended up liking ‘The Dirt’ more than ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. There, I said it. I’ll tell you why. First off, as everyone on Twitter is fond of saying: “How are these guys still alive!?” It sums up the whole film nicely, so you could technically stop reading here, but please continue… I started watching ‘The

Garrett Who? (The Adventures of Being a Garrett Hedlund Fan for 9 Years and Counting)

**All the pictures used in this post are credited to the MrHedlund website (may it RIP)** Spring 2010. Cat is reluctantly studying for her sociology exam and looking for any excuse not to. She changes channels on the TV several times until she lands on a movie with Mark Wahlberg in it. Not really paying

Co-Parent Bands

I can’t say a song has ever saved my life. Nor could I sit here and tell you a band’s existence has ever had to inspire me out of dark thoughts. I’m lucky, but I can empathize with those who do credit music and musicians as their saviours. I am not a very religious person.
