Welcome to my weird world!
So how many words is The Last Magician? That info’s probably available somewhere, but I did some math and estimations and I’d say a fair bet is 185,000 words. It took me two weeks to get through this 500-paged monster. The last time I can remember reading a book with this noticeable length was maybe... Continue Reading →
My original score for this movie when I saw it in theatres was an A-, and that was before the news was announced that Spider-Man was being pulled from the MCU. After that news went viral, I thought back to how good Far from Home really was. Cause this is not the first time a... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
