Over this much extended winter (sigh) I have been gobbling up mysteries left and right. I have recently realized that the ones that keep me on my toes the most are those with a non-linear timeline. Not to worry, these books have nothing to do with math! By non-linear, I mean that the story unfolds […]
Leviathan Wakes tells a relatively standard sci-fi story featuring two men from very different backgrounds, Jim Holden, an officer on an old transport ship, and Joe Miller, a detective on a Belter station. The plot begins with Holden’s ship gets blown up while he and a few others were out investigating a derelict ship, while […]
Coming soon: Cafe Society, the latest film by Woody Allen, will be available on DVD 10/18/16. Yes, we all know Woody Allen puts out lots of films. But this marks the third film that K-Stew and J-Berg have starred in together. (That’s Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg for the uninitiated. And I just made up J-Berg, but […]
Once in a while I find myself wishing I could have a do-over when it comes to parts of high school. Then I remember all of the homework, tests, and angst, and that daydream easily slips away. Instead, I’ve learned to fill that fleeting (some may say silly) desire with a book, and thankfully there’s […]
Last time I shared what music I’ve been listening to lately. This week it’s all about the great television series that I’ve been binge watching. I’ve been on a British TV series kicked for the last couple of months (especially the mysteries because they’re are so many great ones out there) and I must share […]
It’s crazy how there are sometimes stories that everyone is talking about. The one that seems to be captivating everyone right now is the story of Robert Durst. If you haven’t heard anything about him, Durst is a 71-year-old real estate heir and millionaire. And on March 14, he was arrested on the charge of first-degree murder. On March 15, […]
Say what you want about writer/actor/director Woody Allen, but there is one thing I’m sure we can all agree on: he is highly prolific. And when you’ve directed almost 50 films and have over 70 writing credits to your name, it’s fair to say you’re going to have some hits and some misses. I bring this […]
Whether we like it or not, as Ohioians, we all know that winter is here to stay. So why not spend some of those cold snowy nights under a blanket watching a great mystery. You can enjoy some stress free travel without the hassle of airport security lines and flight delays. Better still all of […]
Please join us this Friday evening at Lee Road (in the meeting rooms) for Lee Road Movie Night! At 6:30 pm we will be showing The Maltese Falcon. If you haven’t seen this classic, or just want to see it again, now is your chance! It’s the tale of a private detective who takes on a […]
So you’ve just binge-watched season 3 of Homeland and are waiting for season 4 to premiere on October 5. Or maybe you’re still on hold for season 3. Or maybe you just need a new TV series to watch.
