Midnight Secretary: For the Mature Manga Reader
After many many years of reading manga I, now a mature woman, discovered josei manga. Manga geared more towards late teenage and adult females. Now the magical girls and other shojo manga will always have a special place in my heart. But it sure is nice to read about situations that more relate to my […]
Revisited: John Dies at the End by David Wong
We here at WatchPlayRead have been talking about starting a feature in which we revisit books that we have read and loved. Honestly, the first book that came to mind for me was John Dies at the End by David Wong. It’s not a classic, nor is it really what some would call “literary genius,” […]

22 Jump Street- Reviewing the Funniest Movie I’ve Seen This Year
If it ain’t broke… 22 Jump Street is a movie that has no business being as ridiculously funny as it is. With a story that is an almost exact repeat of 2012’s 21 Jump Street, and the fact that it doesn’t even try to hide that it’s not bringing anything new to the table (other […]
The Unbelievers is sincere, and unfortunately restrained
The Unbelievers is an amusing, mildly entertaining documentary, that is ultimately, and unfortunately, void of significant substance. As much as I liked the film, I didn’t take anything of value away from it. That may be because I am already an atheist, but I believe it would be similarly unfulfilling for a non-atheist, other than […]
How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a perfect parent/child bonding experience
How to Train Your Dragon 2 is heartrending, heartwarming, and even more exciting than its predecessor is. In a theatre full of excited children there were cheers, and tears and not one perceptible ounce of disappointment. I’m not really sure if you can measure the disappointment of children in ounces, I’m not really sure why […]

Book Review: The Museum of Intangible Things
Fair warning: This is not your typical YA road trip novel. I don’t want you to expect it to be something it’s not. I’m glad that I knew that The Museum of Intangible Things dealt A LOT with mental illness before I started, because it wasn’t what I expected from the cover and blurb, and […]
Angelina Jolie is magnificent as Maleficent
Maleficent was beautifully complex, full of depth, light and darkness. The story, Disney’s latest in a growing vein of films featuring a strong, independent female hero, faltered briefly in the second act, but the third act was as strong as any I’ve seen. Directed by Robert Stromberg, whose first direction highlights his previous visual effects […]
