I don’t know about you but I’m stocking up on junk food and chocolate for election night and staying up to watch the results. That doesn’t mean that we can’t have some fun and let off some steam with a few of our favorite election themed movies. Hold a marathon for your teens, young adults, […]

Fantastical School Movie Playlist
On the second day of our school-based movie playlist, we’re sharing fantastical school movies. These are those that are in an unrestricted imagination- science fiction, fantasy, comics, and paranormal all fit within the fantastical. Have a favorite fantastical school movie that I’ve missed below? Share it in the comments!
Military Movie Playlist
Memorial Day means a lot of things to a lot of people. A time to honor veterans and active military, a day to reflect and remember, a day to spend with family and friends. At my last job, it was an especially important day because a lot of the teens in our library either enlisted […]
Heartbreaking Comic Book Movies
Deadpool comes out this week, and for me it’s going to be a perfect Valentine’s movie- he’s a wisecracking antihero who’s rude and obnoxious. You know he’s going to rescue the girl at the end (or she’s going to rescue herself), so there’s not going to be sappy grief, but it’s going to be a […]
Favorite Conspiracy Movies
The X-Files returned Sunday, 22 years after it’s first episode (and it seemed like 22 years after the end of the Arizona Cardinals/Carolina Panthers playoff game). While the first episode on Sunday seemed disjointed and pushed too much into one hour, the second episode on Monday seemed much more like what those of us who […]
Bloody Wicked Vampire Movies

Not fuzzy relationship movies, I’m talking about fang-bearing blood suckers with supernatural abilities that you do NOT want to be on the wrong side of, day or night. […]
Killer Zombie Movies
What would Halloween be without zombies and zombie movies? My teens are hooked on The Walking Dead and Z Nation, and are slowing getting into Fear the Walking Dead (it started a little slow for them, but now it’s getting there), and the new movie coming out, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, has them organizing movie trips. One of the […]
Favorite Horror Movies
Halloween is my favorite time of year- the haunted houses, the costumes, the change of seasons, and the new crop of horror movies that come out around this time. I love horror and suspense and paranormal movies, even though That Guy can’t stand them, so I have to drag other friends to go with me- […]

Insect Themed Movies
On Monday I shared with you some of my favorite “shrinking movies” in honor of one side of Ant-Man’s powers, his ability to shrink down to the size of an ant. Today I’ve pulled together my top 5 favorite insect themed movies to honor the other side of his powers, his ability to communicate telepathically with insects […]
