Return to Rockvale Writers Colony

My desk I am at Rockvale Writers Colony again, working (as ever) on Medea on the Bayou.  I am in the Giles Hill room, which has a four poster bed with curtains, tasteful furnishings including a wonderful antique writing desk, and a huge bathroom and wardrobe. It has been a lovely quiet week, and I’ve gotten both writing and revising done.  Maybe not nearly as much as I would have liked (it always…

Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches (Pilot review) | Written with Book Readers in Mind

#MayfairWitches is intriguing, Daddario is great in the role but a one episode pilot might not be enough to set this up. #AlexandraDaddario #SeriesPremiere #TVPilot

Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford (Creators)CASTAlexandra DaddarioHarry HamlinTongayi ChirisaJack Huston Review: I read Anne Rice‘s The Witching Hour a few months before this episode premiered gave me enough distance to be more open to this adaptation. I knew there would be some changes since there’s so much story, but starting the show with Deirdre’s new doctor really brought me back to the…

Migration (U): Chicken Run 2 But More Mallardy.

#Onemannsmovies #film review of Migration. #MigrationMovie. A fun Illumination animation that is a boon for parents with half-term kids. 7/10.

A One Mann’s Movies Film Review of “Migration” (2024). It’s half-term in the UK and so a good kids film is just what desperate parents are looking for. And “Migration”, from the Dreamworks “Illumination” studio, delivers just that. It smashed to the top of the box office charts when it was released last week and it has stayed there this week. Which is why, when I tried to take my two grandkids…

Read n' Sip Recommendations: Part 4

Hello, again, darlings. Welcome back to Read n’ Sip Recommendations with Kirsten. This week, I’ve returned with Part 4 of my Cocktail/Book Pairings. While I joke that these are Cocktails to enjoy with your Cock Tales, my books aren’t as erotic as that implies. It was just too good of a pun to pass up. However, my books are on the spicy side. If that’s your thing, then please dive in, but…

M3GAN (15): The moral is, 'always install an off switch'.

#onemannsmovies review of "M3GAN" (2023). #M3GAN. A fun sci-fi comedy/thriller that's doing a storm at the box office. Recommended. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “M3GAN” (2023). The cinema has had no end of doll-like things like M3GAN to creep us out over the years. In my youth, it was a young Anthony Hopkin’s ventriloquist dummy in “Magic”. But we’ve also had “Chucky”, the antique doll “Annabelle” and that wretched clown under the bed in “Poltergeist“! Add a bit more computer gadgetry and you get Yul Brunner’s killer…
