It’s no surprise that I love a good suspense movie- be that a thriller, a horror movie, or a courtroom drama. Bring it on and put them all on my Must Watch Movie List.
So I’ve come to really like actress Maika Monroe. If I see her billed on the casting list, I know it’ll be an intriguing movie.
She’s starred in Longlegs (2024), It Follows (2014), Watcher (2022) and so many other movies. Those are just a few I’d highly recommend!
Now she’s going to be in the next Colleen Hoover novel-turned-movie: Reminders of Him – which comes out in March and I bet she’ll be great!
When I’m not watching all Maika’s scary movies, I do love to read a great book. It will also come as no surprise that my favorites are the same genre- thrillers, suspense, murder mysteries, and the like. Author Colleen Hoover wrote the book which inspired this movie and her novels are always a good mix of a little romance but a really interesting plot so I bet this story will be just as good!
I read Hoover’s book, Verity, which is also being turned into a movie starring Josh Hartnett, Dakota Johnson, and Anne Hathaway. It’s expected to debut in October of this year (2026). The novel was a page-turner so I’m really looking forward to the movie as well!

Movie Review: We Live In Time
This doesn’t happen all the time but every once in awhile I will break the norm by watching a movie outside my typical crime/thriller/horror/courtroom drama. We Live In Time (2024) was sooooooo good. And so worth the change of pace. I don’t want to spoil anything about this Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh movie because […]
