“Good kitty.”

OMGOMGOMG! #CleganeBowl? Dragons vs. an Ice Dragon? BRIENNE AND TORMUND SHENANIGANS? Please please please let it all be so! Meanwhile, HBO is keeping their cards very close to their chest, while giving rabid fans (like me) a little aperitif to whet our appetite. IS IT APRIL YET????
The final season of Game of Thrones hits April 14th. And while there’s supposed to be a whole lotta death (sobs while thanking Emergency Awesome for the 411 from the showrunners), I cannot wait.
Okay, so this trailer is a mashup that’ll have your head spinning, but it’s damn effective at getting you the details on Billy and his alter-ego, Shazam. DC seems to want us all to know that this ain’t the old-school Snyder joint, and I’m all for it. In fact, with this trailer and the teaser for Birds of Prey this could be a complete break from the DCEU altogether. I ain’t mad.
Okay, I’m not gonna spoil the fun for you – Shazam hits theaters (probably quite literally, considering what goes on in this trailer) April 5th, 2019.
I remember being eleven years old, clutching a shiny new paperback copy of The Shining. (Yes, my parents bought it for me. They were cool with me reading anything, as long as I was reading.) These essays may be preaching to the choir, but that’s alright. I’m digging the sermon. This collection has the vibe of King’s Danse Macabre – a feeling that you’re not really reading, you’re having a mind conversation.
Stewart O’Nan’s opening salvo, “Sometimes You Go Back”, encapsulates everything I love about “Early King”. (It’s no secret that The Stand is my all time favorite book.) O’Nan gives words to the feeling I feel whenever I reread King, or revisit *any* favorite haunt of mine. The comfort of coming home. The house on the hill may be creepy and the sewers are definitely not safe, but it’s home.
The essays here include Richard Chizmar on the truth of King’s stories, Stephen Spignesi deconstructing King’s ability to draw us into his works and what it means to write, and Tony Magistrale on King being “subpar” – HAH! – in most literary and academic groups. But there’s more; Frank Darabont, Clive Barker, Mick Garris and so many more pay tribute to the King. My only complaint? I wish there was a brief sentence or two intro at the start of each essay. Just so I can know the essayist a bit. Because I’m lazy and hate to Google when I read something I’m sucked into.
I have to admit I took this book everywhere. The gym, restaurants, my bathroom… And I ain’t ashamed. Much like King’s work, I was hooked.

“It’s funny how life turns out, isn’t it?”
I love Elton John, and I’m really looking forward to his “fantasty biopic”, Rocketman. But holy bleep – Taron Egerton has my utmost respect for being able to do something I’d never have the ability to do; sing one of Elton’s songs in front of the man himself. I’d faint. Truly. But Egerton nails it, putting his own spin on the tune without trying to echo Sir E’s gorgeous pipes. And can I take a moment to swoon over that magnificent Captain Fantastic look Elton is slaying? It’s fabulous y’all.
This happened during an auction of Rocketman memorabilia for Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party. A beautiful moment, for a beautiful cause. Give it a watch, then read on after the jump for all the details!
C’mon now. Y’all know Madea is a National Treasure. She’s our not-so-guilty pleasure we can’t help but love. So with her newest film coming on March 1st, I’ve got prize packs and I’m gonna give ’em away! Say HALLELUJER! But first? Synopsis!
A joyous family reunion turns into a hilarious nightmare as MADEA and the crew travel to backwoods Georgia and unexpectedly plan a funeral, which threatens to reveal sordid family secrets.
I can’t wait to see how she handles the back woods, and of course shows the utmost decorum at a funeral…*ahem* Continue reading

“HOLY SHIT.”
I grew up on Aqua Net, Manic Panic, and 80s Bands. So when I heard that a Mötley Crüe biopic was in the works, I salivated. Would this film be as much fun as I (kinda…because 80s) remember? Damn sure looks like it; Dirt seems to catalogue a whole lot of their highs…and low-downs. Synopsis!
Based on the bestselling autobiography from Mötley Crüe, the film is an unflinching tale of success and excess as four misfits rise from the streets of Hollywood to the heights of international fame.
The Dirt looks to kickstart our hearts on Netflix March 22. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m on the hunt for my leopard skin spandex.
Gotta say this trailer is darker and much more dramatic than I’d expected from a gang that includes a talking snowman and sassy reindeer. But dark it is. There’s swords, grim determination, and Kristoff riding as if the Nazgul were on his tail. Synopsis!
Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf are going far in the forest to know the truth about an ancient mystery of their kingdom.
No synopsis beyond that yet, but I’m betting that’ll come around in a few.
Frozen II comes to theaters in November.
Got a dollar to spare? A quarter?
