The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks: Book Review & HBO Movie
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks: Book Review & HBO Movie Movie premieres April 22, 2017, on HBO 8 PM Well, HBO is back at it again and taking a well-loved book and putting it on film. Fresh off Liane Moriarty’s Big Little Lies miniseries success, comes Rebecca Skloot’s The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks: Book Review & HBO Movie For some reason, like right up until writing this, I thought this was a mini-series event, but it’s a standalone movie. It starts one of my favorite actors ever, Courtney B. Vance as well as Rose Byrne & Renée Elise Goldsberry of Hamilton fame along with none…
The Music of Big Little Lies
The Music of Big Little Lies If you’re not watching Big Little Lies, you still have time to get caught up. There are 2 episodes left & we are still Really Into It. One of the best things about the show is the music. JESSICA: The music in the show is like its own character and is telling an unspoken part of the story. Little Chloe is almost always the one who is always setting the theme and I have a feeling that this is not by accident. I wish I had her knowledge of music as a 33 year old – and she is only 6! SARAH: The theme song is haunting.…
Big Little Lies
Big Little Lies I just finished my first Liane Moriarty book and I was Really Into it. Sarah sent me a copy for Christmas and I finally dug in – and finished it in 3 days! I could not put it down and it was just in time for the premiere of HBO mini series starring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley. Sarah: Ahhhh! I knew you would be Really Into It. I read it way back in 2014 & love it. I honestly love anything by Liane, but I am in dire need of a refresher from you before the premier. This is one of those books you…
Saying Goodbye to Girls
Saying Goodbye to Girls We are Really into Girls. I thought about writing an introduction to the show, but it doesn’t need one. It has been groundbreaking and controversial since it started and everything that could be written about has. After what I thought was a shaky fourth season, Season 5 came out with a bang and I think it was the best yet. I am both sad and excited to watch tonight. In honor of the Season 6 premiere, Sarah and I have picked our favorite episodes from each season. Sarah: Season 1, Episode 1 “Pilot” Sorry to be so lame, but I really loved the…

Beware the Slenderman & Witness Beware the Slenderman currently on HBO On Demand The Witness currently available on PBS I’m Really Into trash TV; Real Housewives, Are You The One & the Teen Mom, but I’m also Really Into documentaries & this week I watched Beware the Slenderman & Witness.

This documentary focuses on the inception of the myth of Slenderman, a pale faceless tall creature who stalks & tortures children. It seems that people all…
