Dear Musical Theatre Fans...
I didn't particularly want to write this. I love musical theatre, I am a textbook musical theatre boy. I am currently listening to Sondheim as I type this. But sometimes you musical theatre fans drive me up the wall. To quote the show in question, "ya'll could REALLY drive a person crazy."

'Death Note' on Netflix
The hubby and I finally sat down to watch the new Death Note movie on Netflix. We had our doubts, but had planned on watching it the moment we realized it was released. It seemed like it could be a good movie. It really did. After all, I had been eyeing the anime for months. So, a movie had potential.

The 70's Film That Inspired BBC's Sherlock
You may or may not have heard of The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970). Mark Gatiss, writer of BBC's hit Sherlock (2010) loves it: "it is a fantastically melancholy film," he says for the Guardian. "It was a template of sorts for Stephen Moffat and me as we made our adaptation for the BBC."

Why Shows Don't Need A Love Story
I believe a show can still be action-packed, full of mystery, adventure, beautiful, funny, full of drama and plot twists without having main characters fall in love with each other. It takes away from the plot when a TV show forces two characters to like or even love each other because the show does not know what else to do, so they make characters get in a relationship. Or they make characters get together because they think it fits the plot, but it doesn't. While, some are beautiful, others are so expected that it can make me want to stop watching the show.

Playwrights vs. Directors
I blame the cinema for one of the more annoying problems in live theater today. Films are created in a unique way. Someone writes a script and sells it to a producer. The producer turns the script over to a director, who hires the actors, and makes the film.

5 Dark Fantasy Novels that Need TV Adaptations
We are undoubtedly in a golden age of television, especially dark fantasy and horror, what with the recent successes of Game of Thrones, American Gods, and Stranger Things. With all these massive hits going around, we might be wondering where the next could come from. With two of the three aforementioned shows being adaptations of novels, it makes sense to look towards literature again for possibilities. Here are my Top 5 picks for novels that need to be adapted into shows.
