Review: The Normal Heart

Cast This Bitch: Oklahoma!

Normally I do these types of posts on Fridays but since I was having wordpress issues as well as traveling all day to spend the Memorial Day weekend at home, I figured I’d just make this a fun little side post for the weekend. My good friend and fellow Awards Circuit writer Kristen wrote about the film the other day and it inspired this post. There are few musicals that I feel warrant a remake, but one of them is definitely Oklahoma.

Film Review: Godzilla

There might not be too many movies this summer that I will be more excited to see than I was when I watched Godzilla, and probably with good reason. I can’t recall a movie in recent memory that had a more pitch perfect marketing campaign than Godzilla, whose trailers and images highlighted amazing visuals and

Game of Thrones Recap 4.05 “First of His Name” and 4.06 “The Laws of Gods and Men”

So I missed last week’s recap so I’m gonna add some thoughts that I had about last week’s episode of Game of Thrones to today’s recap. 4.05 “First of His Name” -Lena Headley acted her ass off in this episode. I was never quite sure with Cersei whether he interactions with the various characters was
