Eragon with phoenixes instead of dragons has arrived. And just like in Eragon, we enter into a world with no mythical creatures left. There were phoenixes once. And marvellous Phoenix Riders, who could telepathically communicate with their winged partners. The most famous include sisters Avalkyra and Pheronia Ashfire who long ago battled a throne to...

Harriet (2019) Movie Review
For Remembrance Day, I thought it’d be suitable enough to do a review on the woman who deserves to be on America’s 20 dollar bill, and have about 20 other things (holidays, regions, law principles, statues) named after her in her honour. Every single hero in my home country, Canada, deserves their minute of silence... Continue Reading →
Crawl (2019) Movie Review
As Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper both starred in The Maze Runner movies, which is currently my favourite movie series of all time, having surpassed Harry Potter, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and even the How to Train Your Dragon movies, and seeing as this is a horror movie with Sam Raimi in the production, how could I ignore it?...

Your Own Worst Enemy by Gordon Jack Book Review
I’ve been reading loads of fantasy and sci-fi lately, which is fine, but I tend to connect to contemporary novels surprisingly quite often. Despite that, there have been numerous contemporaries I’ve been very hesitant about. I guess I maybe expect another typical romance sprinkled with overstretched fears. But this one was a treat I needed,... Continue Reading →
Terminator: Dark Fate Movie Review
Fun fact: Back in early 2015, in a universe that feels so forgotten in this apocalyptic day and age, I had the privilege of visiting San Francisco. And my family and I were staying at a Fairmont the night a scene from Terminator Genisys was being filmed in the hotel basement. I to this day... Continue Reading →
For a Muse of Fire by Heidi Heilig Book Review
After reading this and her debut earlier this year, The Girl From Everywhere, I feel Heidi Heilig is a good author. It’s just for me, her stories fall a little straightforward, never agonizing to read and sometimes very intriguing but a bit forgettable thanks to not much of an angry push in the stories. They’re light... Continue Reading →
The Valiant by Lesley Livingston Book Review
In the animated movie, Hoodwinked, there’s a flashback where Little Red Riding Hood, or Red, finds a medal in her grandma’s spoon drawer. It said, “Battle of the Iron-Cage Gladiators”. I think I finally get the idea now. I hope for my sanity that Granny Puckett never had to stab someone’s intestines out. Fallon is... Continue Reading →
The Lion King (2019) Movie Review
Maybe it’s time for Disney to stop looking at their own shoes as they come up with their next big release. There have been a lot of movies where I feel it’s supremely unnecessary to give the synopsis of a movie, like when I did an updated review to the first Hunger Games book. And... Continue Reading →
Internment by Samira Ahmed Book Review
(For those who don't know, that is 4/4, not 4/5. It's a perfect score of 100!) When I read Ahmed’s debut, which was Love, Hate, & Other Filters, I awarded it only 1 and a half stars, saying it was The Hate U Give lite, being too romance-heavy, taking too long for things to heat up and then... Continue Reading →
Joker (2019) Movie Review – Abnormally Chilling and Line-Stretching
I honestly thought my days of looking away from films and covering my face was over after I started watching horror films where people got shot in the stomach with four-inch long nails or had their arms graphically slashed off. Arthur Fleck is a clown, in so many senses of the word. He works as... Continue Reading →
