Spider-Verse fans get ready! I was able to screen Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, before the film released in theaters, and was amazed by it!

The film is truly a mental, visual and audio treat!

Note: I was invited as media to the movie screening. However any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

Because I wanted to FULLY be engrossed in this second Spider-Verse film, I choose to see it in a Dolby Cinema. And it was the perfect choice!


While one of the benefits of being in a Dolby Cinema are the spacious recliner seats with clear sight lines.....because I need to be comfortable while watching Miles swing around in the Spider-Verse!

But there's so much more to enjoy!

Getting back into the Spider-Verse

Just like the first film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, we're taken into Miles world to see how he's living both as his neighborhood spider-man and a teen kid juggling school and his parents.

It was nice to get back into that world and catch up with Miles, even if that meant seeing him struggle with his family, missing his friends and facing a new villain and Spider-Verse challenges.

Meeting the other Spider-Verse "Spideys"

OMGosh! The Spideys! So many spider-people? animals? Spiders?! While part of the film is following Miles as he's introduced to Miguel O'Hara / Spider-Man 2099 and all the other Spideys and what that means....

The who film could have been just about that. There's SO much storytelling there! And what it means for Miles and his choice to be Spider-Man.

I LOVED seeing all the different Spideys and LOVE LOVE LOVE that one of them was a pregnant women, another a "black" female techie, and another a T-Rex. Because...of course!

Storylines within storylines within storylines

Listen! Across the Spider-Verse ended on a cliff hanger (spoiler!) BUT besides that, it could have went on and on and on. Cause there was SO much storytelling angles and it was ALL SO GOOD.

It's amazing they were able to keep different characters and their storylines just as interesting and Miles and hos storyline.

Your going to want to see Across the Spider-Verse again and again just to fit pieces together and try to figure out Easter eggs before the 3rd film releases in 2024.

During the summer months some energy bills can increase due to consistent usage of things like the AC. While we all want to stay cool, we also want to save money!

If you have a smart home, try these tips from Leviton on how to lower utility costs with the use of smart devices.

Schedule high energy consumption activities

Lower your utility bills by scheduling chores like running the dish washer or washing machine and charging your electric vehicle for off-peak hours. Some EV Charging Stations will even let you remotely schedule your charging sessions for these times, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting and driving up your monthly energy bills.

Turn on the fan, lower the AC

Research shows that when ceiling fans are used effectively, thermostats can be adjusted up to four degrees, reducing your home’s energy consumption while maintaining a nice, breezy, and comfortable temperature. No more sweating over the heat or your energy bills!

Using a smart fan controller like Leviton’s Decora Smart 2nd Gen Wi-Fi Fan Speed Controller Switch is an easy-to-install device to control your pull-chain ceiling fan, with the option of controlling and scheduling ceiling fans using with an app, voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Hey Google, and Apple Siri via HomeKit, or the Apple Home app.

Try out motion-sensing devices

Never forget to turn off the lights again with a motion-sensing switch or dimmer. Motion-sensing lighting controls can help ensure you are not wasting electricity by keeping lights on when you’ve left a room.

Leviton’s Decora Smart Wi-Fi Motion-Sensing Dimmer can even be set to not turn on the lights if there is ample natural light in space, as well as features a built-in guide light to softly illuminate spaces at night, further helping you keep your energy bills down.

Revisit your smart home schedules

If you use a smart home platform to control your home’s devices, consider revisiting your settings in the summer to make sure they as energy efficient as possible.

For example, if you plan on traveling, whether just for a day trip or a weeks long adventure, check your lighting schedules to ensure you aren’t leaving lights and devices on when you’re gone or that you’re keeping you home safe by setting to vacation mode.
