Shirley Scopelitis - Scope Locations

As a pop culture enthusiast, I’m fascinated by the filmmaking process. Chalk it up to when I was younger, and I worked as an extra (aka background actor) during college. While waiting around on set, I enjoyed watching all of the behind-the-scenes production workers. Fast forward to the present day and as I was watching a movie at home, I turned to the featurette on the production crew, one who happened to be a locations manager. I’ve always … [Read more...]

Montgomery and the Case of the Golden Key - book cover

In elementary school, I read a lot of mystery books like the Nancy Drew series and The Hardy Boys mystery novels. As a grown-up, I look back and wonder how my world view as a child would have been different had I read books with diverse characters.

One such book is “Montgomery and the Case of the Golden … [Read more...]

Kenneth Branagh reprises his role as Hercule Poirot (“Murder on the Orient … [Read more...]
