Reviews of movies, books, television, or whatever else I feel like.
Continuing on my course of watching all of the Star Trek shows and movies in chronological order, I am wrapping up the original series this week. Once you get past some of the bad acting, dated sets, effects, and tropes this show is really quite good. Many of the themes and stories are relevant, even … [Read more…]
So here wraps up my list of the top ten books in my library that I think everyone should read. There are a lot of books I have that I think are great, and would recommend to anyone, but I figured a nice starting point would be good. Originally this was going to be a … [Read more…]
There are a lot of top tens out there, lists of books someone thinks everyone should read in their lifetime, or top ten most influential books. I’ve read some of them, and what I’ve found is most of these lists are highly subjective. I suppose if you read every book and pick it apart like … [Read more…]
Let me first start by saying I really enjoyed this movie. It was a unique concept and story, tied to a very classic sort of horror movie format we are all used to. Despite the familiar format this movie is chock-full of ‘what the hell’ moments. My wife and I found ourselves, more than once, … [Read more…]
It’s been awhile eh? I know I haven’t posted in some time, school has been busy along with all the other stuff I have going on. This weekend though, I finished a great second season of one of my favorite shows, a fantastic book that finished a series, and saw a commercial that made me … [Read more…]

I just finished Wards of Faerie and I have to say, Mr. Brooks came through yet again. He took a short trip back in time with his books of the last few years, giving us a look at how the world of Shannara came to be. It was a great trip for us readers, getting … [Read more…]
I am a big fan of local bands, mostly in my area, but some from other parts of the country. I am by no means a nose-up snob that looks down on anyone tied to a major label, or a hipster that thinks I have any claim to finding anything first. I love major bands … [Read more…]
A Million Suns is the second book in Beth Revis’ YA series, and I finished it a couple of weeks ago. As usual, I am reviewing things long after they are normally done (hence the title), but I think it’s good. This way all the hooplah is over and maybe a few people will see … [Read more…]
I guess this isn’t really a late review, since the third season is coming out in a couple of weeks, but this is my first review of a show that is starting the third season in a couple of weeks so in a way it is a little late. We just caught up on the … [Read more…]
