Black Coffee Motel

Halloween is upon us! The motel has been so incredibly excited for this year’s Halloween season. Maybe because it’s nice to get excited about something, and something as simple as a holiday and the changing of seasons surely counts. This time of year makes me reminisce about the amazing east coast trip I’d gone on…

The other day, someone asked me if I was a beach person. I supposed I was on some level, but only because I’ve lived so close to it my entire life. In my daydreams though, I’m at a lake, jumping off a dock. I tell people it’s because the beach waves can be intense and…

I have a friend who I find rather strange. To be honest, I don’t think she understands romance. She probably couldn’t care less about it, but still tries her best to mold into the world, boasting and pretending that she loves it. Surprisingly, I believe a lot of people do this.

Feel good movie? Set in 1950s London? Tells the story of an elderly widowed cleaning lady falling madly in love with a couture Dior dress? Sign me up! I was shocked to find out that this movie had been released in 2022! I hardly enjoy movies released within the past decade, you guys all know…

The first movie I’d watched in theaters was Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 back in 2004. I was in elementary school at the time, and had gone with my parents. I don’t remember much, except sitting in the theater and probably being a little confused considering up until then I was all too used to PBS…

Do you believe in love at first watch? Where, within the first mere seconds of a movie, you’re already drawn in and prepared for the adventure of a lifetime, even if the movie is just 2 hours? I’ve always enjoyed ancient history, so far as to take a class on it as part of my…

An old friend once told me: “The best stories have sad endings.” Or was it: “The best endings are sad endings”? Whatever it was, I hate to say I agreed with him. We must admit, there is a side of human nature that finds these stories compelling. One of my favorite feelings is bawling my…
