  • This Movie Nailed It! Joker
    Aug 1 2023

    And here you go! My wedding favor to you! After going missing to get married, I figured I'd come back with a peace offering. Here is a second episode on the same day, and this one is goooood!

    Okay. I’m a huge DC fan and my favorite villain from the Batman comics and movies is Joker. Let’s set aside everything we know about branding. Most iconic characters are re-branded a bunch and they can appear very different in any iteration, however, I believe Joker has a few common traits that make him a very compelling villain. These traits carry through all his iterations. So, let’s nerd out on villains!

  • Sentence Variety and Paragraphing
    Jul 4 2023

    Today I’m going to chat with you about sentence variety and paragraphing. Wait. Do you even know what paragraphing is? I think you do, but you don’t. You don’t know that each time you press enter and separate dialogue from narrative, what you are doing is paragraphing. This is a writer’s tool that is technical, but also creative and should be taken seriously. Let’s get into it.

  • This Movie Nailed It! Shutter Island (2010)
    Jun 29 2023

    A good twist is the hallmark of an excellent thriller. I want to say though, a good twist is great in every story, in my opinion. Even in romance, we love to get shocked by an occurrence in the story.

    The best twist I’ve ever seen in a film was in Shutter Island from 2010. Did you see it coming? I bet you didn’t! there is no way you could have guessed that…
