Welcome to The Mundane Adventures of a Fangirl

I consider myself a Fangirl. What does that mean, you ask? A "fanboy" in the most common understanding is a hardcore fan of 'genre' based entertainment in particular. In my case - science-fiction and comic book based movies and television. Because I'm a chick - it's fangirl, not fanboy. There you have it! I am a big movie fan, however, not necessarily a 'film' fan. And now - I have the forum to present my opinions to the public! These will mainly be movie reviews -that will always be my opinion - repeat OPINION. Just what I think, and in no way do I present my opinion as fact. I hope you enjoy and maybe it will help you decide what to see at the movie theater this weekend!

Thunderbolts*



Some of my favorite bits of the MCU are when the real villains are mental health struggles. This one really beautifully executes that concept. I sobbed through the third act - it is just such a fantastic reminder of the importance of figuring out how to process your depression and trauma and finding and leaning into your support system. Plus, great actions sequences and performances.  Bucky back on a motorcycle! David Harbour stealing scenes!  They are all great, but Florence Pugh's Yelena is absolutely wonderful and proves she can center an MCU piece and is ready to be the building block for their next phase.
