Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
Well, that took significantly longer to read than Ernest Cline's beloved debut. Taking place in the present day rather than 2045, this is the story of Zackary Lightman, a teen from Yawnsville, or Beaverton, Oregon. He spends his days trying to avoid getting his reputation expanded at school as a temper fuelled danger, by trying... Continue Reading →
M. Night Shyamalan has a reputation for oddball spiritual sci-fi horror, and this movie is plastered with what he's known for.

This is the sequel to Renegades, taking place in a world where, well, some are born with superpowers. Some use them for everyday simple... Continue Reading →
After some time off to focus on school, I now have more time for book and movie blogging, finally. And the book I just finished was based off of time. I love coincidences sometimes. Jules Ember, originally from the kingdom of Everless, had to run away from her home and the name Liam Gerling was... Continue Reading →
You know, I remember the sheer excitement the world had when the trailer for The Force Awakens was released back in the warm weather of 2015, as well as the sheer excitement in the theatre when we clapped at the end right before Luke Skywalker was handed his light-saber from Rey. It was like the... Continue Reading →
