Happy first Friday of 2019 Storytellers! Today is a super exciting day because not only is it Friday (hallelujah) but it also just so happens to be Fictionally Sam‘s 1 Year Blogoversary! I honestly am shocked that Its been an entire year since this whole oasis has begun. I have made so many amazing friends through this in the book community and have found so many equally amazing blogs along the way. This has become a second home to me and the people I have met along this journey have become like family–so from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for the encouragement and the love and support! You guys are a 10/10 would recommend .
Now, with the mushy stuff aside let’s get down to today’s post! I went back and forth between what I wanted to post for my Blogoversary–do the typical thank you post, a tag, etc.– but then I thought “why don’t I bring back Movies and TV?”
Movies and TV have been a huge part of my life for as long as a I can remember, and it was my field of study in University. At the beginning of this blog I wanted to include this part of me and share my thoughts and feelings about the stories I consumed through this medium just as I would with books, however, ya girl here got hella insecure and put them in her abyss known as drafts…and never published them. But, today I thought it would be great to finally step out of my comfort zone and bring back my Cinematography talks and reviews–and what not a better way than with Netflix’s current hit, Bird Box.
Now, let me preface this with I am going into this movie blind. I have no clue what it is about except that the majority of this movie Sandra Bullock and the rest of the cast where blind folds–why? I have no ducking clue. But we are about to find out fam. So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn, and let’s see if I die a little inside.

214. But back to the movie itself
215. It was good, but I felt like it didn’t quite…make it.
