The Predator – A Movie Review
Maybe you remember the other Predator movies fondly, like me, and have an urge to check this one out, especially because it’s directed by Shane Black. Resist that urge.

I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly and Jm Ken Niimura – A Book Review
I felt a bit conflicted about the movie adaption of I Kill Giants. A friend on GoodReads suggested that I try out the source material to see if it settled a bit better with me. I’m pleased to report that it most certainly did! Joe Kelly’s I Kill Giants is far more transparent than the…
