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: Crime 101
If you’re looking for a great heist movie, I think you’ll love Crime 101! The performances by Halle Berry, Chris Hemsworth, and Mark Ruffalo were fantastic. And if you watched The Banshees of Inisherin (2022), Barry Keoghan plays a totally different character in Crime 101 (2026). And he’s really, really good, too! In fact, when […]

In The Kitchen with Laura McKenna: Dyeing Easter Eggs…Naturally
When I think of Easter Eggs, I think of egg salads sandwiches (and now I want to eat one!) So I think it’s really important to know what you’re dyeing those eggs with because what seeps into the shell can seep into the egg itself. And who wants to feed extra chemicals to their family? […]
