Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
I'm seeing Venom: Let There Be Carnage tomorrow. I can't wait. Three years ago, I was dragged to my local cinema to see this, the first entry, with my longtime comic book fan of an uncle. And I had no idea what to expect. I'd heard of Venom but hadn't seen any trailers, and I... Continue Reading →
I'm glad I'm only now picking up this series. If I'd started it a year or two earlier, I think I'd be driving myself crazy anticipating the next instalment. Maybe for my own sanity I should lay off from The Shadow Wand for a while. Elloren Gardner's come a long way since her relaxing youth... Continue Reading →
While watching this flick, I was completely unaware of the so-called controversy, of Ben Platt being too old for the role of a high-schooler and one of the producers of the show being Ben's father and therefore inciting nepotism. And I find those concepts quite ridiculous. Rebel Wilson was in her early thirties, older than... Continue Reading →
I look back at my reading experience of The Gravity of Us puzzled. Was I in a bad mood starting it, and did that transcend to the rest? I've given a lot of negative reviews recently, so maybe I should look into that. It is unprofessional of an entertainment critic to let your personal troubles... Continue Reading →
