Welcome to my weird world!
When Simon Kinberg directed and released Dark PhoeniX three years ago, it was seen as a ginormously weak sendoff for the X-Men franchise, if it ends up a sendoff at all. It was definitely inferior to Logan by a mile, but I didn't find it that bad. I actually gave it a B. I found... Continue Reading →
I truly do not understand why prison escape fiction is so rare. While if you don't have an outside point of view you may have a small claustrophobic setting, escaping from jail and running from the cops is a suspenseful, odds-against-you storyline that's so inviting for the roller coaster ride it's no wonder the public...

I've said in past reviews I'm not a fan of short stories, because they tend to not be long enough to have us fully understand and love the characters, and if we do end up growing to like them, their time with us is over too fast. But I only say that to stories so... Continue Reading →
The sort of undercover work the protagonist does in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is enough to make James Bond, Sherlock Holmes and even Hercule Poirot green with embarrassment at how many levels she is above their investigative skills, not the least of which is she's still just a teenager, doing a case that...

I ended up reading the illustrated/photographed edition of this book, something which majorly contributed to my enjoyment or fascination. I'm not completely sure I'd have given this book the same grade if it weren't for the photos of real-life old paintings, ruins, museums, fields and sights that show up helping us feel we're there even...

I haven't watched many movies this year. There were many I wanted to watch and some I did watch but haven't had the time to review. This year I've been writing two different novels and have been helping my grandmother who needs me to help with chores and I've been handling a reporting job. That... Continue Reading →
I can't remember if I've ever written No Spoilers in a movie review before, and maybe it's all for naught. After all, only daredevils at this point are looking at the reviews unless they've seen the film already. Marvel is really good at making you feel like what they have crafted are a big family,...

I've been in a reading slump for the past few months. Maybe I just have too much to work on and think about to properly sit back and enjoy myself. With that said, even though as a result of my slump it took me a while to read this...I did enjoy my time with Havenfall.... Continue Reading →
After I got through this star-studded but vacuous 150 minute sci-fi monster, I found myself on a quest of my own, to find out why this has gotten such critical acclaim from seemingly everybody but moi. I felt something was just wrong with me and I couldn't keep reviewing until I did some investigating to... Continue Reading →
You know, in my last review, of Home Alone 3, I was kind of condescending to this film without seeing it, something I keep telling people not to do. But sometimes you just can't help it. This sixth instalment seemed like another direct-to-dvd-value feature after two sequels of the same way of advertisement that were... Continue Reading →
