The young but grown up guy looking indifferently at us through that cover asks us questions through that stare: Are you going to treat me any different than you would a white person? Do you have expectations of me? Do you accept me for who I am? Do you accept others for who they are?... Continue Reading →

The Forever Purge (2021) Movie Review
Well, isn't this a surprise for me. Truth is, out of all the Purge films, the only other one I've seen is The Purge: Election Year, and I gave that one a C-. I did enjoy its story conflicts of the best way to win an election, I appreciated the plot involving the possibility of... Continue Reading →
The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard (2021) Movie Review
In my review of the last Hitman's Bodyguard, I pointed out how I didn't like Salma Hayek's character as the hitman's imprisoned wife. Well, that apple's now on its head. ... Yeah, I need to come up with better comparisons. Here, she's out of prison and alongside the blokes, showing just how much she can... Continue Reading →
Truth & Bright Water by Thomas King Book Review
I actually don't know if I'm going to publish this review, because it makes me a little sick to my stomach doing so. My Aunt Meg liked this book and my uncle gave it to me for my birthday last year because she thought I would enjoy it too. I miss Meg terribly every day,... Continue Reading →
Don’t Breathe (2016) Movie Review
Since the trailer for the sequel was recently uploaded (and I was wondering when it would arrive for a long time; I don't think trailers for big movies normally show up only one month before premiering) I thought I would bring my thoughts on the original, a horror film that's really stuck with me, for...

The Hitman’s Bodyguard (2018) Movie Review
In anticipation for the sequel I'm going to see soon, I wanted to bring up The Hitman's Bodyguard, which I would describe as the best example of a "hamburger movie". What is that? Well, like a hamburger, it is familiar, defaultly ungourmet, and often messy when trying to eat it, but tasty, filling, and what... Continue Reading →
The Desolations of Devil’s Acre by Ransom Riggs Book Review
The original Miss Peregrine trilogy is flat-out perfect. I read the first one in one day, Hollow City upped the suspense and universe, and by the time I finished Library of Souls, I had a goofy grin on my face like I'd won a trip to Aruba, along with an all expense paid tour of...

Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (2021) Movie Review
Before sitting down to type this review, and type this first sentence, I stopped to wonder if the same feelings I had for the first Peter Rabbit would end up like this one. I gave the first movie a negative grade too, but then upgraded it after thinking about how it was very funny. Will... Continue Reading →
Peter Rabbit (2018) Movie Review
In preparation for the upcoming sequel, this is based off of my original review when I first saw Peter Rabbit and how I now see it after I first found it kind of amusing but not good enough to recommend. James Corden plays Peter, a rabbit third, a rascal and rebel first and second. He's... Continue Reading →
Cruella (2021) Movie Review
There was Maleficent, then Suicide Squad, then Venom, then Joker, now Cruella! Apologies if I missed any, but I have to say villain stories are now trending, and Cruella is a terrific example of why we should be excited for that. When we're kids, we understand our heroes. When we're adults, we also understand our... Continue Reading →
