I’ve gone through some odd phases in my writing career. When I was in high school, I started writing what could best be described as Christian science fiction and fantasy. I even tried submitting one of the manuscripts to a literary agent. One I found in the phone book. And…
So a while back, I shared a video by a guy named CGP Grey about how more and more jobs are becoming automated. If you haven’t watched that video yet, please feel free to get caught up. If you want. It’s still an interesting video. One of the things that…
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…
A few weeks back, I wrote a non-spoilery review of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. And I think I did a pretty good job of keeping my spoiler-filled thoughts to myself. But the gloves are coming off now, baby! Everyone has had about two weeks to go see…
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…
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…
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…
