Bones: A Love Letter to Science, Sarcasm, and the Squint Squad

Let me start with a confession: I didn’t expect to fall in love with a show that opens nearly every episode with a decomposed corpse. But Bones — oh, Bones — is not your average procedural. It’s crime-solving wrapped in anthropology, sprinkled with conspiracy theories, topped with slow-burning romances that will make you scream “JUST KISS ALREADY!”.

Deep red rose on a black, otherwise "darked out" image. Rose is lying on the ground, with a short stem and leaves piercingly obvious. The cover of the book "Carmilla" (all black and white with two women illustrated from the Gothic era, looking off into the distance) in upper right hand corner. In deep red text, matching the rose's color, Carmilla: Review of a Classic Vampire Novella. Zina Mona.

Carmilla: a Review of the Classic Vampire Novella

Filled with gothic imagery, Carmilla makes for a dark and spooky reading experience. I was immediately enamored with the setting, from the vast castle to the village ruins. I easily became absorbed in the story, and the tense atmosphere from the start pulled me right through to the end.

Abbott Elementary: A Review of a Workplace Comedy & Mockumentary

The comedy hits good and hard, not just because it’s clever, but because it’s rooted in something real. I love when a show makes me laugh and then immediately makes me feel something deeper. That’s the rhythm this one nails.

Film Review: Oklahoma (1955)

Unlike some movie musicals, such as My Fair Lady which placed dramatic actors in the main roles and either allowed them to do their singing best (Rex Harrison, who talked his way through most of his numbers) or actually dub, as in Marni Nixon's singing over Audrey Hepburn's lip-synching, Oklahoma placed actual singers in most of the roles.

The Bellefontaine Haunting — A Supernatural Thriller Review

The Bellfontaine Haunting by Marie Wilkins is a suspenseful and gripping supernatural thriller and murder mystery. It held me from the first page to the last with its story of the ghost of a deceased woman haunting a reporter and the cold case surrounding her death suddenly becoming hot and open.

Twin Peaks — A Love Letter

Highly praised by critics and scholars as one of the best pilot episodes of all time, it was two parts provincial and one part horrifying. We begin our journey by meeting the Martells, the local bigwig owners of the Packard Mill that processes all the lumber in the logging town.

The Life Impossible, an Environmentalist Fantasy Review

The premise writes itself — a one way ticket, an idyllic island, and a mysterious death. But it is not thrilling, in the pure sense of the word, nor is it a pure fantasy; The Impossible Life exists in a plane of reality that is magical and precisely mathematical.

Big Applause for Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical

The quality of the show exceeded my expectations by virtue of its stage effects. The sets, lighting, projections, costumes, and flawless scene transitions introduced me to the technical aspects of musical theatre I never thought I would be interested in as an actress who only performed in school productions.

Midnight Burger — The Podcast at the End of the Universe and One of Its Reviews

In essence, Midnight Burger is a true homage to the old radio shows of the 1930s and 1940s. Every episode is well-written, acted, and has excellent sound technicians that bring the story to life.
