While everyone's out getting their Fall-enfused lattes and pumpkins, there's one thing I look forward to above all else: new Fall tv shows.

The television market is so saturated with new shows this time of year, so I wanted to share my new favorites. Seriously, they're fantastic.


The Good Place (Thursdays at 8:30pm EST on NBC)


Kristen Bell's return to network primetime and what a return it is! After one episode I was hooked on the highly entertaining quirk comedy that follows Bell's Eleanor who's accidentally sent to heaven after she dies. I know what you're thinking, where do you go from there? Well, there's a soulmate, a clown obsession (the non-threatening kind), and a whole lot of frozen yogurt to boot--and that's just the start. 


This is Us (Tuesdays at 10pm EST on NBC)


Chances are that you've heard about this tearjerker drama, but the tears are not what I'm here for. I love intertwined stories like this and since it's so impeccably cast it's easy to become invested in these characters' lives. The writing is phenomenal, coming from the writer of Crazy, Stupid, Love., and will have you hooked immediately.


No Tomorrow (Tuesdays at 9pm EST on The CW)


The unrelenting positivity and fun that No Tomorrow radiates is what keeps me coming back for more. The premise is interesting enough on its own, but the two leads are a fantastic duo and automatically make me smile every scene that they're in together. I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure, but more of a meditation in the 'seize the day' mentality (which I wish I adhered too more, to be honest).


Speechless (Wednesdays at 8:30pm EST on ABC)


Speechless is such a refreshing family comedy with a family dynamic that I love from top to bottom. The jokes are genuinely funny and it's one I find myself cringing and yelling at the TV weekly.


What Fall shows are you crazy for this season? Hit me with them in the comments.

Hey guys!

So today is...


Anyone who knows me is well versed in how much I'm a stickler for all things eco-friendly. Making your life more environmentally friendly can definitely seem overwhelming, but I'm here to make your life easier...at least I like to think so. Here are my quick and simple tips to making a difference for our beautiful planet.


Recycling bags are my saviors. Not only do I use them at the stores, but most are highly functional bags in their own right. Skip the plastic and gravitate towards the reusable bags. Pro-tip: if you go to any sort of convention, vendors always have loads of free ones on their tables, so I highly recommend taking advantage! It's a money and planet saver; win-win!


Donating you old clothes can seem like a drag (yes, my closet is just as packed and messy as yours), but not only will you be donating clothes to those who could rock them as new, you're also freeing your room of unnecessary items. 


Buy in bulk: a story as to why Costco/BJs is your new best friend. Not only is it a money saver (most of the time), it'll also help you reduce the amount of product packaging you're using daily.


Reusable bottles are cute, environmentally friendly, and will save you a hell of a lot of money on water bottles. When I say that I drink a lot of water, I mean that I drink it constantly. Last year, I reached a point where I was disgusted with how many water bottles I was going through (not to mention the cost), so I broke out my trusty Brita pitcher and haven't used a plastic water bottle since. Either utilizing your fridge's water dispenser or buying a long-lasting water filter pitcher will save you countless bottles in the long run.


Use your leftovers in other meals. Few things drive me crazier than food wastefulness. Seeing others throw out food that could've been eaten if proper food planning was implemented is sad. It's easy to make a larger component and repurpose it into other meals during the week. Chicken is my go-to here.


Recycle recycle recycle. Chances are that if you're questioning if something's recyclable it is. Things like batteries, phones, body wash tubes can all be recycled properly. It takes a simple Google search to find places that will take your odd items and break them down to be used again, if they're not taken in your local recycling systems.


Let me know in the comments your favorite eco-friendly tips!

This year's Golden Globes were lackluster to say the least, but there were a few shining moments.

I cringe every time...


Here are my Picks!


Kate Winslet's surprised face. She really is the greatest.



Jonah Hill being high as hell while presenting with Channing Tatum.



Aziz Ansari's being the cutest human. If you haven't watched Aziz's Netflix series Master of None yet you need to immediately!



America Ferrara and Eva Longoria speaking the truth.



Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg making me laugh more than I ever expected.



Jen and Amy: America's favorite BFFs.



Jen winning Best Actress in a Comedy.



Oscar Isaac winning (and being on stage) is all I ever needed from the night.



Brie Larson: Queen.

Here are the things that made my 2015 amazing!




For Dakota Johnson, It's Never "Just A Minute" (Vogue Magazine):
                                  Dakota came onto my radar in such big ways this year. She's subtly chic and the ultimate cool girl you want to just hang out with. I can't wait to see more of her next year between How To Be Single, A Bigger Splash, and more. Here's where she first hooked me. In this simple short film, One Minute, where being chilling has never looked so good.


Ellie Goulding's Delirium
My love for Ellie Goulding knows no bounds. Delirium is filled with powerful anthems that never let up, make me want to dance, and lyrically they're absolutely stunning.


The DUFF

One of the biggest surprises of the year was how much I loved this film. I knew it'd be worth it for Mae Whitman and Robbie Amell, but wow, it's like a revamped version of Can't Buy Me Love. It's immediately a new favorite.


Netflix Originals
Daredevil, Master of None, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Sense8 and Jessica Jones have all been obsessions of mine throughout the year. One of the things I love most about the Netflix originals so far is that they're all so diverse, yet they all have hooked me and made me want the binge to never end.


Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

By far one of my favorite YA book series, made into even better films, and I can't wait for The Death Cure. There are movies that reinvigorate you, inspire you, make you want to go out there and fight the good fight; this is one of those films. Wes Ball made a sequel that improves upon the first, expanded the world, and leaves me wanting so much more in all of the best ways.




What are your favorites from this year? Let me know in the comments!

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!



I wanted to share my holiday screening traditions. Yes, I watch these all in the week leading up to Christmas and they're the cheeriest of my holiday lot!


The Holiday


 A definite go-to, no matter the season. Everything about it is magic.


The OC Chrismukkah episodes


The holiday season always makes me nostalgic for The OC and Seth Cohen's passion for the holidays. Filled with drama, romance, and a whole lot of candles and Christmas sweaters, Chrismukkah became the holiday I wish I celebrated.


The Simpsons: Christmas With the Simpsons


Every episode on here is a classic for a reason. Hysterical and timeless.


Love Actually 


 Colin Firth's love story makes me the happiest. Plus, you can't go wrong with a bit of young Thomas Brodie-Sangster.


The Office 'Benihana Christmas'

Every one of The Office Christmas episodes is fantastic, but this one stands out for all of the right reasons.



I'm off to go eat more homemade Chex Mix and watch The Holiday.


Let me know in the comments what your holiday viewing traditions are!

Happy Sunday!




Long story short, work has been taking up all of my time lately, but I'm back more reinvigorated than ever! This week's picks are everything I've been obsessing over lately.

Let's get to this week's Picks and Flicks: Catchup Edition!


Jessica Jones (Netflix)
                               Yes, I am another obsessor. I'm absolutely fascinated with Kilgrave as a villain. He's a classic 'you hate him, but he's so charming.' Kilgrave's about ten time more than that, as well.


One Direction Carpool Karaoke (The Late Late Show with James Corden):

Trust me on this, if you didn't love One Direction before, you will after this video!


Ellie Goulding's Delirium
Since it premiered at the beginning of November, I've been obsessed. Whenever I put it on I never skip a song, which is rare for me. Ellie's music is absolutely electric and it makes me endlessly happy.


Master of None (Netflix)
                              I'm such a huge Aziz fan and this series was more than I ever could've predicted. The last two episodes are so top notch that they're up there with my favorite hours of television ever.


One Direction's Made in the A.M.
The boys have done it again and this time it's by far their best album yet. Wolves is now my favorite song of theirs ever.


Ingrid Nilsen's #DIYDecember is what dreams are made of. If you're looking for fun tips on all things health, beauty, DIY, and more, check out Ingrid's playlist here!



Tune in next week for my year's end Picks and Flicks!

Happy December!


Let's get to this month's Picks!



December 4th: Night Owls
                            Looks like the smartest romanic comedy in ages, starring some of my absolute favorites: Rosa Salazar and Adam Pally.


December 11th: In The Heart of the Sea
                            Ron Howard, Chris Hemsworth, and a killer whale? Count me in!


December 18th: Sisters
                            Amy and Tina automatically means that I'm in with Ike being a very welcomed bonus.


December 23rd: The Big Short
                             THE HAIR. Two hours of ALL OF THE WEIRD WIGS.


December 25th: Joy
                             Another opportunity to see powerhouse Jen? Always a yes.
December 25th: The Revenant 
I cannot wait to see Leo give himself over to this role in all of the scary ways.

Happy November!



Let's get to this month's picks!


November 4th: Brooklyn

Saoirse Ronan finally getting notice for her work. If you haven't caught her in How I Live Now, you must!


November 6th: Spectre

Daniel Craig is by far my favorite James Bond so far and I'm so thrilled that Sam Mendes is returning for Spectre!


November 6th: Ellie Goulding's Delirium Album
                                 I've been a fan of Ellie's since the beginning and getting ready for Ellie's new pop-centric album is making me bounce. Listen to it here! Additionally, Ellie and Scarlett Johansson teamed up with American Express to produce a fantastic livestreamed show featuring her new album, which you can check out here. There are few artists where their live performances make the work even better. Ellie is one of those artists for sure.


November 6th: Master of None
                               I've loved Aziz since we first saw him on screen in Parks and Recreation, since then he's popped up in small roles in various films. His persona on social media and his book really have reaffirmed my love of him, so I cannot wait to check out his show. I've heard nothing but great things!


November 13th: One Direction's Made In The A.M.
                                   Guys, you know I had to and, trust me, this album is so lively and fantastic from start to finish. They're my happy place and what a beautiful place it is.


November 20th: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

I will cry. It will be devastating, but, oh god, I can't wait. (Update: I cried...heavily.)


November 20th: Marvel's Jessica Jones

Update: I knew that I'd like this series if it was half as good as Daredevil was and holy shit, it's absolutely amazing. Kilgrave is by far the creepiest villain that Marvel has had so far.


November 25th: The Night Before

I'm a sucker for a good Seth Rogen movie (Neighbors was hysterical) and The Night Before looks right up my alley.


November 25th: Creed

Michael B. Jordan is such a huge talent. I've not seen a Rocky film before this, but the acting in this has drawn me right in.

Annie Leibovitz / Vogue Magazine

Let's get to this week's Picks and Flicks!



'Supergirl' and 10 Other Badass Women on TV (THR): Just ten of the many strong, badass women on TV. These ten are top notch, however!


10 empowering Halloween costumes for when you're sick of sexy (Mashable): I will be Mindy Lahiri and it will be amazing.


Angelina Jolie Pitt on Her Most Personal Project With Brad Yet and Why She’s Looking Forward to 50 (Vogue Magazine): An absolutely brilliant piece on Angelina with stunning photographs to supplement. I've always admired Angelina's wide array of endeavors and reading this feature really showcases all of the various shades of why I do.


Take a Break: The Price is Right (Late Late Show with James Corden)
                                That time James lived out a dream we've all had at one point or another.


Sometimes Jessica Chastain Just Pretends She Is Bryce Dallas Howard (BuzzFeed): Jessica Chastain is a delight and I love how fun her and Bryce are with the confusion on who's who.


Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co‑Stars?  (Lenny Letter): I adore Jennifer for speaking out about this. Yes, many have for decades, but it's the consistent continuation that spurs real change.


42 Yahoo Questions That Will Make You Nervous For The Future Of Our Planet (BuzzFeed): Just for the giggles. Yahoo questions will forever be the best/worst.

Picks and Flicks is back this week after a brief hiatus!

We're almost halfway through October, so don't forget to check out this month's lively Slate!

Let's get to this thing!


#missadventure episode 3: the best company": starring Anna Kendrick (Kate Spade)

I absolutely adore this fashionable series. It's sleek and gorgeous with the added Anna flare.


Shadowhunters Sneak Peek #1 and #2 (ABC Family): With a January 12th premiere date in sight, it's time for the promotional elements to start heating up for Shadowhunters. Now, I am aware that it's an ABC Family (soon to be Freeform) series, but that doesn't mean it's going to be awful. I've watched many of their shows over the years and I get hooked for a reason. Shadowhunters looks fun, colorful, truly accepts the genre-bending of the books, and I can't wait!


The Whisper Challenge with Brie Larson (The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon)

Brie Larson is a gem and this segment has never been funnier.


Pride & Prejudice & Zombies trailer (YouTube): Pride and Prejudice + zombies + stellar cast = you can count me in for this fun ride on opening weekend!


Hail Caesar! Trailer

Yes, yes, Coen Brothers, yes.



Tune in this week for a Scorch Trials review and more surprise posts!

P.S. I gave Minority Report another two episodes to hook me and I'm actually quite enjoying it so far! Catch my initial pilot reaction here.

Happy October!



Let's get to this month's picks!




October 6th: iZombie Season 2 Premiere
                                iZombie is by far one of my favorite TV shows and I highly suggest you check it out! If you've been a fan of Party Down and/or Veronica Mars the guest stars will be extra special.


October 6th: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
I am beaming over this one, guys. This is a spinoff, of sorts, from Fangirl. It's a magical world, literally.


October 7th: Arrow Season 4 Premiere
                                This season looks epic and I'm so excited to see more Speedy, Felicity, and kickass fight scenes.


October 9th: The Final Girls
                               Campy fun with a hysterical cast. What more could you ask for? Also, psyched to see Nina Dobrev in more films!


October 9th: Reign Season 3 Premiere
                               More angst for Francis and Mary is just what I've been waiting for all summer. I've missed Adelaide's powerful presence onscreen.


October 11th: The Walking Dead Season 6 Premiere
                               Who's ready to see Rick slip further and further into his insanity?


October 19: Jane The Virgin Season 2 Premiere
                                Jane's first season was a sweet, heartfelt origin and I can't wait to follow this story again.


October 16th: Crimson Peak
                             Fantastic cast + Guillermo Del Toro + A freaky house = A movie that will scare me shitless.


October 16th: Room
                               Brie Larson brings a powerhouse performance in a haunting drama.


October 23: Burnt
                                Bradley as a struggling chef is what dreams are made of. Seeing him pair up with Sienna again is going to be amazing.


October 23: Hemlock Grove Season 3 Premiere
                                The third (and sadly, final) season of Hemlock Grove is coming! It's freaky, disgusting, scary, and dramatic as hell, but then Bill Skarsgard lets a little sass coming through and I'm reminded of why I watch...it's addictive to say the least.

Oh, House of Cards. How I love thee!


I was recommended House of Cards countless times by friends, family, the internet. Everyone got obsessed with the show quickly and it became synonymous with Netflix's Original Series' success, but the political setting of the show put me off. I'm definitely not informed or particularly interested in anything to do with politics. I feel like this is a show you definitely have to be in the mood for, as well, which wasn't putting it high on my binge-watching list. But then I finally gave the series a real shot and I knew by the end of the first episode that I've been crazy not to watch it sooner.

Frank Underwood is the most polite-to-your-face maniac I've ever seen. Played hauntingly by the remarkable Kevin Spacey, Frank weaves himself in and out of impossible scenarios with eery ease, while always keeping his end game in reach. Frank's keen strategy and manipulation skills are so unpredictable that I found myself thinking at various points throughout the series' first three seasons, 'how am I this tense over a political drama when I don't even like politics?' It's actually the same approach I had with Breaking Bad. I thought that the concept wasn't for me, until I gave it a chance and became obsessed.

I love how the show has evolved over the seasons as Frank's moved up in the ranks. Pretty much everything on House of Cards revolves around or is at least influenced by the decisions that Frank makes. Each startling move that he makes takes the show in completely unexpected and brilliant places. I feel like the insanity of the moves Frank pursues are sometimes so insane, completely unlike what you think any sane person would do, and then he does them and my mind is repeatedly blown.

The acting is so top notch across the board (hello, the sublime Robin Wright and underrated Kate Mara!), but there's one supporting character that takes top-billing for me: Doug Stamper. Played by the immensely understated Michael Kelly, Doug's overarching character progression throughout the three seasons is remarkable. By the time you finish season three you won't look at him an ounce of the same way you did in the first season. I cannot wait to see where Doug's journey takes him next, because clearly he's learned a thing or two from Frank over the years.

Lastly, the cinematography and direction of the series is so consistent, but brilliantly stunning. From Frank's candid talks with the camera to the subtle but alluring camera tricks (that I don't want to spoil for you all!), it's a beautiful series to watch. So go binge-watch it! Yes, I am another person telling you that you want regret it, but remember I was in your shoes once and, trust me, you'll want to be in mine now.



Have you caught House of Cards yet or are you still unsure about it? Let's talk in the comments!

P.S. Writing this piece while Frank Underwood was glaring at me was seriously messing with my head. Even in a still he looks like he's plotting my takedown!

Happy Sunday!




Ready for the Fall TV season to kick into high gear? Check out my Pilot Watch post featuring Scream Queens, Minority Report, and Limitless.

Let's get to this week's Picks and Flicks!



Rudimental - Lay It All On Me ft. Ed Sheeran (YouTube): This song is fantastic and so uplifting. I could listen to it all day (and I do).


The Worst Types of Roommates (Whine About It): I have experienced nearly every single one of these firsthand and Matt's right: it is THE WORST.


Take a Break: Chateau Marmutt (The Late Late Show)

 Just when I thought I couldn't love James Corden more he goes and does this.


Watch Ryan Reynolds try to build an IKEA crib (GQ): Ryan Reynolds is quickly becoming one of my favorites. First The Proposal now this. Warn a girl!


Disclosure - Magnets featuring Lorde (YouTube): Like all of Lorde's songs I'm mesmerized and I can't quite pinpoint why and I'm okay with that.


Celebs Explain Netflix & Chill On The Emmys Red Carpet (BuzzFeed)
                                I feel Jackie Cruz on a spiritual level on this one.


Netflix Study Shows How Long It Takes To Get Hooked By A TV Show (Slash Film): I found this super interesting, because some shows it takes me an episode to get hooked (House of Cards) and others take me almost a full season (Arrow).



Tune in this week for my Scorch Trials review and The October Slate!

6:53 PM
The Fall TV season is starting up and every year there are always tons of shows I want to catch. This week I watched three new pilots: Scream Queens, Minority Report, and Limitless. 


Here are my non-spoilery thoughts on this new trio!


Scream Queens
I was initially drawn to Scream Queens because of Ryan Murphy and the ensemble cast. I'm not huge on campy films and series, but after watching the pilot, I'm all in for Scream Queens. Emma Roberts' was born to play Chanel and the vindictiveness of her character juxtaposed with the violence of the show is so scary it's remarkable. Additionally, I really appreciate how Lea Michele's character is the polar opposite of her public persona. It's refreshing, actually. From the hilarious Twilight reference to the steamy Nick Jonas working out scenes, I am here for what Scream Queens is putting out there and I highly recommend it if you like your camp with a side of well-dressed snark.

Scream Queens airs Tuesdays at 9pm EST on FOX.


Minority Report
As a huge fan of the Steven Spielberg film by the same name, I was thrilled about this series from that moment that it was announced. After watching the pilot, you could definitely say that I'm not overly happy with it, but I'll still tune in for more in hopes that it improves. Pilots are tough and for some of my favorite shows I couldn't stand the pilots (ahem, Arrow). It's heavy sci-fi and, if you aren't familiar with the film, a lot of the references and tools that are used might go right over your head and most of the time that's okay. You can either keep an open mind about the rules of this world and maybe you'll get hooked or you can be hypercritical of all of the pilot's plot-holes. I suggest you join me and go with the former!

 Minority Report airs Mondays at 9pm EST on FOX.
Limitless
Since I watched Limitless' pilot I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. It was the best hour of TV I've watched this week. Jake McDorman, who I've loved in so many projects over the years, really knocks this role out of the park. Plus, he plays guitar and I could watch that for hours alone. The pilot really hooks you into the world of NZT without relying solely on the film that its based on. Even with Bradley Cooper's fantastic cameo, it never feels like he's just there to grab the audience's attention; Bradley properly transitions us into this world to ride out this journey with Jake. There's a line in the episode about being able to remember the great ideas that you had in the shower and then subsequently forgot about...basically, I need this in my life as much as I need another episode immediately. Like, right now. I'm serious. This is a must watch!

Limitless airs Tuesdays at 10pm on CBS.

Happy Sunday! Did you check out Scorch Trials this weekend? If not, what are you waiting for?!




Let's get to this week's Picks and Flicks!


Ellie Goulding - On My Mind (YouTube): This is a red alert: Ellie Goulding has a new single and I am so here for it. Seriously, I listened to it for three hours straight on Friday while working.


Watch 'Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials' Cast Play 'Save or Kill' (Collider): Absolutely love these segments and this cast has the best chemistry aka this is a must-watch!


The 5th Wave trailer

I'm definitely into sci-fi and this latest YA adaptation is right up my alley, especially since it's headed up by the talented and effortlessly cool, Chloe Grace Moretz.


Types Of Coworkers That Are The Absolute Worst (Whine About It): "We're all just trying to turn hard work into chicken nuggets." PREACH IT, MATT!


Wes Ball Returning To Direct Third Maze Runner (Variety): Sometimes consistency and a clear, passionate vision is what some franchises need and I'm so excited that Wes and his screenwriter T.S. Nowlin are teaming up again to close out the series. My brain will be excited for the continuity.



Tune in this week for my long-awaited House of Cards review (I mean it this time, guys!) and some much-needed Scorch Trials flails!

Happy Sunday!



It's been a busy week for me. New script reading job in addition to the usual schedule, so I've been overloaded to say the least. This means that my House of Cards review will be up this week instead (Spoiler alert: just watch it already!).


Let's get to this week's Picks and Flicks!


Kristen Stewart / Nicholas Hoult Dubsmash it up with MTV's Josh Horowitz (Instagram): Dubsmash is this new revelation for me, that I have yet to try, but damn if it doesn't provide so many laughs scrolling through my Instagram feed.


The Program trailer
                                 It's hard to believe that, with how realistic this film looks, this isn't actually Lance Armstrong. Looks amazing and I cannot wait.


The Mindy Project Season 4 trailer (Hulu): Mindy's back and I am beyond jazzed. Tuesday can't come soon enough!


A Harry Potter-Themed Bar Just Opened And You Have To Pay Your Respects (BuzzFeed): A perfect blend of geek and hipster chic (yes, I actually just typed those words...).


Mystery Pizza Box: Gospel Choir & Rave (YouTube)
                           When I watched this I was laughing so hard that I was asked if I was okay because they could hear screaming. So, good sign?


Scandal Season 5 Trailer (Hypable): The season four finale of Scandal tied the show up in a perfect world bow for me, so I'm psyched to see how it all falls apart in the next season. Until then, there's enough Fitz and Olivia chemistry to power up all of D.C.



Tune in next week for more Picks and Flicks!

P.S. Go see Scorch Trials on Friday and tell me what you think! My review will be up sometime during the weekend after I've sufficiently flailed.


Katherine

Happy Sunday!



Let's get to this week's Picks and Flicks!


Calvin Harris & Disciples - How Deep Is Your Love (YouTube): Calvin Harris can do no wrong. Also, Gigi Hadid has amazing hair.


See Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult suffer in silence in Equals clip (EW): After all of the Venice buzz and my general excitement for this project, I am speechless after watching this clip...which is appropriate given the material.


Unqualified Dating Advice: Alison Brie (Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon)

Just wait until she gets to her advice about farting. In related news, I love Alison Brie.


Happy Loop Day (20th Century Fox): First official promotion for Miss Peregrines is so on point.


iZombie : State of the Dead trailer (The CW)
                 iZombie SEASON TWO IS COMING! Mark your calendars: October 6th!


This Is What Happened When People Were Rated On Their Success By Loved Ones (BuzzFeed): I cried when watching this. You are worth more than you give yourself credit for.



Tune in this week for my series (so far) review of House of Cards!

Happy September!



Let's get to this month's picks!



September 4th: Chloe & Theo
                                  I love the different approach to the topic of climate change and hopefully this film, and the remarkable Dakota Johnson's presence in it, will draw more attention to the cause in productive ways.
September 11th: Sleeping With Other People
                                  A fun relationship and sex comedy with a killer ensemble cast? You can count me in.
September 13th: Project Greenlight (HBO)
                                 I will be watching this show with popcorn like the film geek that I am.
September 15th: The Mindy Project (Hulu)
Super excited to see what changes come to the show with the move to Hulu. Also, I need more Mindy in my life. Always.


September 18th: Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials
                                  My number one pick of the month (I know, no shockers there!) and for many good reasons! I am so stoked to see what Wes Ball brings to the table this time around. Nothing short of epic, no doubt!.


September 18th: Black Mass
                                Being from Boston, I'm definitely more inclined to be intrigued by the storyline, but this cast is phenomenal so that's reason enough.


September 21st: Minority Report (CBS)
                                    I am a huge Minority Report fan and with this series being a continuation of the film, you can bet I'll be watching weekly.


September 22nd: Limitless (FOX)
                                 More screen-time for my favorite Jake McDorman? Yes, please. Also, this looks like it could really be something great.


September 24th: How To Get Away With Murder (ABC)
With an incredible first season, I'm curious to see how the series evolves in creative ways in season two.
September 25th: The Intern
                                  Watching The Intern trailer makes me smile: the premise, the cast, etc. It's my kind of funny and heartfelt movie.
September 25th: 99 Homes
                                 I am so ready for Andrew Garfield to break my heart and (hopefully) put it back together again.
September 27th: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (FOX)
If you aren't already watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine, what are you waiting for? No, seriously The Captain doesn't like tardiness. It's unprofessional.

After a day of House of Cards and sunshine, happy Sunday!




Let's get to this week's Picks and Flicks!



Reasons Why Outside is the Worst (Whine About It): While I've become more of an outside person over the past couple of years, THERE ARE BEARS. Also, public bathrooms.


Taylor Swift's 'Wildest Dreams' Music Video
                                From the stunning visuals (those lens flares, though!) to the FREAKING LIONS to the handsome as hell Scott Eastwood, I will be watching this on repeat all week. Really love the Taylor and Joseph Kahn collaborations for her 1989 videos.


Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer Are Making the Goofy, Cool-Girl Movie of Your Dreams (Vanity Fair): When two of my current favorite females get together only amazingness will ensue. Also, I love that Jenn is now screenwriting and YAY for female screenwriters! I wonder what her scene descriptions look like...yes, these are the things that I think about.


Ghostbusters love their women (Melissa McCarthy): This tweet is everything I needed this week. #girlpower


Kill Your Friends trailer (YouTube): Nicholas Hoult working in the music industry in a British black comedy? YES PLEASE.



Stay tuned for the September Slate up on Tuesday!

Happy Sunday! It was a week of reading and pool time for me and that was just what I needed!



Let's get to this week's Picks and Flicks!



31 Of The Most Beautiful Film Quotes Of All Time (BuzzFeed): So many of my favorites in here.


One Direction - Drag Me Down (Vevo): This is an amazing video for one of my current repeat songs. Also, NASA is one of the most fascinating things to me. Nobody can drag me down, seriously!


Madden: The Movie (Madden NFL 16)
                                   I'm pretty sure I understand about 25% of this short, but it's ridiculously funny and I don't even play Madden! Also, Dave Franco.


Project Greenlight trailer (HBO): I am so excited that this show is coming back! I love the behind the scenes aspects of filmmaking.


Kristen Stewart would be a great person to road trip with (Nylon Magazine): I mean, LUNCHABLES! Enough said.



Tune in next time for more Picks and Flicks!
