As Spring brings forth all the excitement for blockbuster movies, Fall brings hope of exciting TV shows. This season, a big trend seems to be taking the silver screen to the small screen, and not via Blu-ray or streaming, either. Big networks like ABC, CBS, and FOX along with STARZ are taking their cue from the […]

Why Age of Ultron Teaser Is Better Than You Think
I finally got to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron over the weekend. It was good. The fact that I agree with Rotten Tomatoes’ score probably says it all- it wasn’t my favorite so far, and you could tell that there was a bunch of things that were edited out. However, there is a LOT of […]
Musical Movies Playlist
Whether you’re doing iRead’s Read to the Rhythm, CSRP’s Every Hero Has a Story, or an entirely different reading program for this summer, it seems that you can’t go wrong with throwing a movie musical in the mix. Even the most reluctant teen can get into the fun when you dim down the lights, turn on the captions, […]
Musicals To Snuggle By
On a chilly, sleet filled day, I’m sharing a few of my favorite musicals to snuggle up with.
Extraterrestrial Culture Day Movies
Do you know what this week is? Not ONLY do we have Friday the 13th, February 10th is Extraterrestrial Culture Day.

If the holidays are giving you stress, or relatives are just a bit too much to deal with, find […]
Veterans Day Movie List
Veterans Day has always been a big day, if a personal day, for me. My grandfathers served in World War II, with one liberating a Nazi Internment Camp- we know not because he talked about it, but because of the pictures he took to document the state of the prisoners and the flag he […]
Summer 2015 Movies
With all the HUGE anouncements from Marvel and DC, it’s no wonder that my tweens and teens are BUZZING over these Summer 2015 movies. They are SO EXCITED: we’re talking about who’s going to be in what, and the storylines, and which comic is going to be connected, and which actor is going to be […]
Forgotten Fairy Tale Movies
I am a sucker for a good fairy tale movie- but it has to be a GOOD fairy tale movie. I know the historical versions from the cleaned up versions, and depending on my mood I can go either way (although, if you take a look around my office, it certainly leans towards the villainous […]
Dreams and Nightmares Movie List
October 12 – 18 is Teen Read Week @ Your Library and this year’s theme is Turn Dreams Into Reality. Dreams can take many forms, from careers and college aspirations to working on a neighborhood project to journal writing- the sky is the limit to what you can do with this year’s theme. However, this […]
