Welcome to my weird world!
I am a huge Marie Lu fan. I haven't read and I haven't loved all her books, but almost all I have read were gold mines that got me out of reading slumps. I was in one when I started Skyhunter, and maybe I just had too much on my mind, but my dad gave... Continue Reading →
Well, it looks like Home Sweet Home Alone is officially a thing. You know what? I'll just put my quick review of the other two direct-to-DVD Home Alone sequels here before we get into Home Alone 3. Home Alone 4, or Taking Back The House, is not a movie that's necessarily painful to watch. More... Continue Reading →
I was able to read this in a day, and even though some of the snippets of letters Lee fabricated drag the story, it was really easy to tell why Lee's first two publications from 1972 and 80 were such hits. She has a way with vocabulary and sentence rhythm that is both fancy and... Continue Reading →
If you are a fan of this rather famous and polarizing movie, I advise you not to read my review. It will seem too much like a personal attack. Some people will look at my F grade and think I'm spitting in the face of war veterans who have sacrificed their lives (and usually sanity)... Continue Reading →
Once in a while, I take a gamble with a book that doesn't really look like my type, and then it ends up a fun, fast-paced surprise. Introducing Aelfraed, Durriken, Lancelot, and Blaxton. I mean, The Four Suitors. In the kingdom of Avaritia, the king and queen and especially their daughter are certainly not the... Continue Reading →
Have you heard about the story of why H20 and Resurrection played out as they did? How the late Moustapha Akkad who was producer for every Halloween film (until his death in 2005) said Michael Myers couldn't be killed off and he had a clause in place for the writers? I don't exactly know if... Continue Reading →
I'm going to soon be seeing the new Halloween Kills, so I thought it would be proper to finally write a review of the predecessor. I saw this film when it was released, but, well, there's a bit of a reason why it's taken me this long to review. Honestly, the Halloween franchise has tripped... Continue Reading →
Here it is. The first big movie ever to have itself delayed due to the announcement of the coronavirus and had all the others follow suit. I wasn't exactly biting my nails for this movie to finally arrive, but No Time to Die was delayed at a time we knew very little about the virus,... Continue Reading →
Well, that took significantly longer to read than Ernest Cline's beloved debut. Taking place in the present day rather than 2045, this is the story of Zackary Lightman, a teen from Yawnsville, or Beaverton, Oregon. He spends his days trying to avoid getting his reputation expanded at school as a temper fuelled danger, by trying... Continue Reading →
On opening night I couldn't get into my local theatre. They got filled up (by COVID regulations) even though I was 20 minutes early. Got in last night instead. It was worth returning for another shot. I needed a photo for a journalism story anyway. And if theatres are starting to sell out again, I'm... Continue Reading →
