Hmmmmmm……What can I say about The Batman? I am going to date myself a little bit here and say that I have seen every single Batman movie. I saw the very first Batman movie when it was released and still think that Michael Keaton was the best Batman out of all of them. Jack Nicholson […]

I have been meal-prepping for over two years and cannot believe I didn’t start it sooner. Every week, I am grateful that I do not have to scramble to figure out what to eat for any meal. It is all planned out and the components are ready to go. Some things are made beforehand, so […]

The Lost City is a comedy adventure film starring Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe. I was surprised to see an appearance also of Brad Pitt briefly at the beginning and end of the movie.
