Movie Quick Pick: Love Potion No. 9 (1992)

    Sandra Bullock
  • Reason I watched it: I downloaded a few movies off the Xfinity app before my Anaheim trip, and this was one of them. Everyone knows Sandra Bullock, of course, since she's still famous, but since this was an older movie I hadn't seen it yet.
  • Recommended for: fans of romcoms and "transformation" movies (dorks gone glam)
  • Keep an eye out for: Although some of the music and lines were cheesy, Bullock and Tate Donovan have great chemistry in the film. The '90s things throughout were funny, like Donovan's character's stereo, and check out Bullock's teeth near the beginning of the movie - I couldn't figure out if they were really like that or she had them fixed later on in her career (later in the movie you see the answer to this).
  • Why I liked it: The story was cute and funny, and kept me entertained. You can probably guess the ending but I wasn't entirely sure how it was going to get to that point.
  • Overall rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars. {click here to purchase}

Living your best smartphone life

So we've all been there ... that time when you're on an important phone call, and then the call drops. Or even when you need to use the internet on your smartphone, only to realize that you're at your data limit for the month.

I drive all over the metro Detroit area for movie screenings; because of this, most of the time I know where I'm going, but sometimes, I'm in an unfamiliar area or at an unfamiliar theater and I need GPS to know how to get there and back.


A few months ago, I was headed to the AMC Forum (Sterling Heights area) and I wanted to know the best way to get home from there. My phone kept stalling ... and stalling ... and then the Maps app crashed! Gah! I was extremely frustrated. I was finally able to re-start the phone and get safely home, but it TOOK. SO. LONG. Had the Maps app worked the fir…

Movie Review: Escape Room (2019)

Image
I didn't have high hopes going in to Escape Room—I had determined beforehand that it was more of a thriller movie vs. a horror movie (I hate horror movies, and probably would have skipped it if that was the case). However, it ended up surprising me in a good way, and was actually a very entertaining film.

Five strangers each receive a jet black cube, and the five of them each figure out how to open the cube. The strangers couldn't be more different: there is Amanda (Deborah Ann Woll), who served in the armed forces; Zoey (Taylor Russell), a college student; Mike (Taylor Labine), a trucker; Ben (Logan Miller), a grocery clerk; Danny (Nik Dodani), a huge nerd who has done more than 90 escape rooms in the past; and Jason (Jay Ellis), a high-powered stockbroker. However, the five of them will need to work together to get out of this escape room—especially when they realize what the cost is when they don't.

The cast worked very well together in this movie, and odds are you won…
