Welcome to my weird world!
My, could I not wait for the kids all grown up to have another chance to take down the sadistic clown. That final fight scene in the first is still in my opinion one of the best final showdown horror fights since Brody got retribution for chomping his shipmate Quint down to size alive in...

Did you guys notice the human face looking to the side in the cover of the last book, Scythe, and the two in this one? It’s crazy, for the longest time I did not notice the head shapes as they corresponded to the handle pattern in the axes against the cloaks. I always thought it was... Continue Reading →
Have you heard of the “tough guise” pose? It’s been around for millennia, but only recently been recognized as problematic. The tough guise pose is an identity that, thanks to the generalized idea of manhood, men are expected to be tough and assertive, and if they deviate from this, they are shamed and bullied.

Taken by German photographer Ellen Von Urweth, this is meant to sell vodka, with a woman surrounded, in attire and background, in red, the colour of passion. The objectification of women has disturbing history; from how past generations were shown “Even a woman can manage it” ads, how lots of ads with women in them... Continue Reading →
Back in 2016, I gave this movie a B+ the night I watched it, the same grade as its 2014 predecessor. But then it crawled up to an A and made #4 on my Top 10 Best Movies of 2016. Well, now I think we can move that up a few more spots. I didn't... Continue Reading →
I’ve been wanting to start this series for literally two years. I once saw this book displayed at the very top of a ten-foot shelf at a bookstore somewhere while on vacation. I said in my review of “Long May She Reign” that HarperTeen, which published that book and this one, make the best covers... Continue Reading →
This is not just why I started reviewing movies, this is why movies were ever even made. There are movies I’ve rated A+ that I’ve simply changed my mind on, but this puts all of those down almost several grades in comparison. If I’d seen Lion in 2016 or 17 (it was released once in...

Pretty much every time I’ve been at the bookstore, I saw this book pass me by and I considered getting it. I read Neal Shusterman’s Unwind, but just the first book. I did enjoy it but as the years have went on I felt it was a little overhyped. But this one, boy, the chills... Continue Reading →
Four years ago, I sat down and decided to see The Big Short only knowing it was about the 2008 financial crisis. With my schedules of also doing book reviews, school, work, and personal projects, I generally can’t watch as many movies as other film critics, but I decided this one would be worth my...

I read the first book in Alexander Gordon Smith’s newest trilogy, which was called Hellraisers, about two and a half years ago. I then decided to get the sequel as an e-book, which was a bad choice. I really don’t like reading books online. I tend to read to get away from the screen. I... Continue Reading →
