The Beach by Alex Garland – A Book Review
Yes, it’s true, I’m reviewing a book that’s been on the market for over twenty years. The truth is, I’ve grown to greatly appreciate Garland’s film directing and wanted to check out his written work.

I Kill Giants – A Movie Review
I had heard really good things about this movie even though I don’t remember it actually making it to any local theaters.

I happen to really enjoy Alex Garland’s work, particularly Ex Machina. Annihilation hit the theaters and disappeared almost immediately, so I didn’t get a chance to see it until last night.

Green Lantern: Earth One by Hardman and Bechko – A Book Review
It made my day when I won this graphic novel by Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko through Goodreads. I’d been hearing good things about it, and even though I’m not a huge Green Lantern fan, I thought the idea of reworking him within the Earth One concept could be a wonderfully entertaining experience.
