Big Little Lies – A Satisfying Experince
Like all of you, my wife and I heard great things about this seven-episode HBO series. At under an hour apiece, we figured we’d give it a try. Guess what? The rave reviews are accurate – this is an incredibly satisfying experience. I’l describe the plot without spoiling any important revelations. Madeline and Celeste, respectively…

Locke & Key: Heaven and Earth by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez – A Book Review
You may remember that I did not care for the price of Locke & Key: Small World in relation to the amount of pages. (Click HERE if you’d like to revisit my angst.) Heaven and Earth, like Small World, is a collection of three very short stories involving the Locke & Key mythology. Short stories…

Phantom Thread – A Movie Review
Surprised I’m reviewing this movie? I’ll watch anything starring Daniel Day-Lewis. It’s really that simple. My wife and I have not been together to see a movie in quite some time, so we figured Phantom Thread would be a nice “date” movie for us to enjoy. In the end, I’m not sure we “enjoyed” it,…

I’ve greatly enjoyed the various Marvel Star Wars series, but Star Wars: Yoda’s Secret War left me a little unsatisfied. I’m very happy to say that the next installment–Screaming Citadel–righted the course and returned the series to its high standard. Of course, this volume is not just comprised of the Star Wars series. It also…

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson – A Book Review
As you know, I’m honored to be a teacher by day. An esteemed student recommended this book to my class, and he made it sound so exciting, so imaginative, and so flat-out fun that we all wanted to read it. I ran to my local library and picked up a copy as soon as I could.…

Beauty and the Beast (2017) – A Movie Review
I know we’re super late to this party, but we literally just watched this for the first time last night. I’ve been after my daughters for months to view it with me, but they were hesitant. They were concerned the Beast would be too scary, the wolves too vicious. Well, within minutes, they were completely…
