Reviews of various things
A few days ago, thanks to the intrepid attention of my wonderful wife, my older son and I were able to go check out the newest Pixar movie, Inside Out, for free. Pixar has quite the track record going. I can’t really think of any swing-and-a-miss movies (except for Cars…
So the other day, I was tooling through Steam when I spotted a newly released game called Chroma Squad. It was in my queue of suggested games and I almost clicked past it, but then I noticed that its trailer had real human actors in it doing…well, I wasn’t sure…
So last night, we saw the season finale for Gotham. For those of you unfamiliar with this particular TV show, it’s basically Batman without the bat, a prequel of sorts, that takes place when Commissioner Gordon is still just a fledgling detective and Thomas and Martha Wayne are killed in…
As I left the theater last night, I was ruminating on how we got to this point in terms of superhero movies. I remember seeing the post-credits sequence at the end of the original Iron Man movie, when Nick Fury showed up and said those three magic words: the Avengers…
It’s been a long time since I recommended a book, hasn’t it? It’s not that I haven’t been reading. I actually have. Quite a bit, as it turns out. I just haven’t taken the time to stop over here and write reviews or recommendations. So to make up for my…
Okay, it’s been a while since I did a book review. I don’t know why that is. I’ve read some great books lately, but for whatever reason, I’ve been too lazy to write much about them. But recently I finished reading a fantastic book that really made me sit up…
You know, I keep forgetting how good Tosca Lee really is. That’s not her problem. It’s totally mine and I’ll completely own up to it. I don’t know why it happens, but every time I read a new book by her, I’m reminded how much of a literary powerhouse she…
It’s been a long time since I’ve written a book review on my blog. Part of the reason for that is because I’ve been binging on older books that have had a lot of digital ink spilled over them. For example, I recently went on a months-long binge of pretty…
It’s been a while since I wrote a review of a videogame, so I figured I’d reach back into my Steam archives and pull out an oldie-but-goodie (so to speak). This is one that I’ve been sitting on for a while. Let’s talk Cook, Serve, Delicious! The concept is fairly…
If you haven’t made plans to go see Guardians of the Galaxy, you absolutely must. This is non-negotiable. It is imperative. It’s…it’s… It’s just such a great movie. I honestly did not know what to expect. I knew very little of the Guardians story going in (my only exposure was…
