Blade Runner (1982) And The Theme Of Isolation

Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies of all time, which is why I jumped at the chance to write a blog post about it for class.  To give a brief summary for those who haven’t seen the movie (feel free to skip this if you’ve seen it), it is the story of Rick…

Hogwarts Tag!

I wasn’t tagged for this particular one, but it looked fun so I couldn’t resist.  I believe the original post for this tag was from Zezee. Am I a pureblood, half-blood, or muggleborn? Let’s go with half-blood.  We’re definitely not pureblood, since my family is anything but rich or well-connected, and we’re too eccentric to…

Beauty and the Beast (2014) Review

OH MY GOSH THIS MOVIE WAS ATROCIOUS.  I honestly don’t even know where to begin here, so let me just paste in the details from IMDB first. “An unexpected romance blooms after the the youngest daughter of a merchant who has fallen on hard times offers herself to the mysterious beast to which her father…

Summer 2017 Adventures: The Henry Ford Museum

My father is an automotive worker at Ford Motor Company, and when a fellow employee offered him free tickets to The Henry Ford, we jumped at the chance.  The last time I had gone was with my ex-boyfriend in high school for a temporary Civil War exhibit, so I was excited to go back after…
