Reviews of various things
It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a book. I guess I’ve been waiting for the right one. So about a year ago, I got it into my head to check out the collected works of HP Lovecraft. I think it’s because I’d been seeing Cthulhu…well, pretty much everywhere. I…
So last night, I was able to see X-Men Apocalypse at my local theater. And hey, I even had a free pass to see it! Good thing, too. I’m not entirely sure I’d have wanted to pay full price for this one. So let’s talk about the plot. It’s ten…
So last night, I went to see Captain America: Civil War and I’m still in shock from how awesome it is. This is easily the best superhero movie I’ve ever seen. Here’s a quick summary of the story: the Avengers are still assembling to take out bad guys, only they’re…
Ugh, where to begin? Well, let’s just get it out of the way up-front. Last night, I went to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. I went in with very low expectations. Extremely low. And I still left disappointed and frustrated with DC in general and Zack Snyder in…
When I first heard about Marvel’s plans to release a bunch of new shows through Netflix, I was a bit skeptical. I mean, I have Netflix, so I knew I’d be able to see it. But would those shows actually turn out any good? Then Daredevil came out and I…
So tonight, I went into our local theater and prepared myself to get lost in the galaxy far, far away. I’ll admit, I had a bit of trepidation going in; like I said yesterday, I had been in this position before, only to get burned. But I’ve liked what I’ve…
Once again, thanks to the efforts of my wonderful wife, my nine year old son and I got the chance to see Pixar’s latest movie, The Good Dinosaur, at a special sneak preview this past Monday. My son’s verdict was that the movie was really good. Mine? Not quite so…
My poor master, Phileas Fogg! We were doing so well in his frantic trip around the world. We had made it through Europe just fine, but then we were asked to escort a young lady from Tehran to Omsk. Maybe we shouldn’t have made that detour, but as it turned…
As some of you may know, I’ve been a diehard fan of Amish Vampires in Space since it was published. Yes, it started as an inside joke among Christian speculative fiction writers, but then the incredible talented Kerry Nietz wrote a story that took a seeming B-movie premise worthy of…
Okay, so I’m a little tardy to the party… …ugh, I hate myself for writing that right now. Anyway, I know, Ant-Man has been out in theaters for, like, a whole three days (which, at this point, is like almost out the door in the modern movie industry), and that…
