Love, Wine, and New Beginnings: My You, Me & Tuscany Review You, Me and Tuscany Will Packer Production Released: April 2026 Director: Kat Coiro Starring: Halle Bailey, Regé-Jean Page, Aziza Scott, Lorenzo de Moor, Marco Calvani, Nia Vardalos (did a cameo), and Stella Pecollo Available: Streaming Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! You, Me and Tuscany is now available to rent on streaming platforms. The romantic comedy theater debut met with a tepid reception in April. The box office performance was disappointing to say the least, with the charming rom-com pulling in 22 million worldwide as of early May.  I have seen it in the theaters twice, and if I had the time before it was out, I would have seen it more. I thoroughly enjoyed it because it was light and cute and funny and a pleasure to watch. Now, I am partial to rom-coms. I expect their predictability and appreciate the happy ending.  What do you do when your life is falling apart? That was the s...

Sinners: The One Thing That Stopped Me from Giving It a Perfect 10 Listen below now or on your favorite streaming platform ! Stress Management Tip inspired by Sammie: Follow your heart You must become unshakable in the belief that you are worthy of a big life –Kristin Lohr Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, was released on April 18, 2025, to high critical praise and a strong box office showing for an R-rated horror movie. It is poised to become a classic.  Although I wanted to see it the weekend it came out because … well, Ryan Coogler, I did not have the opportunity, and all the social media comments were giving me FOMO. I was finally able to take myself on a movie date and went to see it on a quiet Thursday night. Interestingly, more people were in the theater than I had anticipated, which was a nice surprise.  Again, all I knew about Sinners was that it had vampires in it, and Ryan Coogler directed it. Honestly, that was enough for me. Sinners is set during the 1932 Jim Cro...

Captain America: Brave New World – A Hero’s Journey Against All Odds Journal Prompt: What are three things I can do this week to take care of myself? Listen below or o n your favorite streaming platform Captain America: Brave New World starting with Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford was released in theaters on February 14th. Now, I admit that I did not have high hopes for this movie based on a couple of things. Ever since Avengers: Endgame Marvel hasn’t been hitting it like it used to and the trailers I’ve watched for Brave New World did not get me excited enough about this new Marvel movie. Nevertheless, I was determined to see for myself because the racist trolls were trying to take it down before it even got the chance all because they did not like a black Captain America. They did not even care that the storyline followed the comics and even had one host talking about how Steve gave the shield to some random black guy. Random (in my Soldier Boy voice)! We will not have it oh. So my ...
