Nocturnal Animals – A Movie Review
When I first heard about this movie, I thought it sounded really interesting so I immediately ran to the source material, Tony and Susan. You may remember I reviewed that novel back in October. (You don’t? No worries. Click HERE to read the review.) Sadly, I didn’t make it to the theater in time to…

Manifest Destiny: Sasquatch by Dingess and Roberts
This is one of my favorite ongoing series, and Volume 4 entitled Sasquatch is no exception to the previously established excellence! We finally discover exactly how President Jefferson procured the skull of the Sasquatch which served as the impetus for Lewis and Clark’s true mission westward. That epiphany alone makes this book completely worth the…

Kong: Skull Island – A Movie Review
Let’s keep this fairly simple – if you like King Kong, you’ll like Skull Island. This is Kong in all his glory. He’s enormous. He’s wild. He’s vicious. He’s easy to root for, even as he’s eating soldiers and blowing up helicopters. Set in 1973, Skull Island is about an expedition to said island in…

Locke & Key: Small World by Hill and Rodriguez – A Book Review
Locke & Key proved itself a unique, must-read series years ago. Written by Joe Hill and primarily drawn by Gabriel Rodriguez, the series had a very clear beginning, middle, and end. It also concluded on a good note, which is not always an easy feat to accomplish. If you’re unfamiliar with the premise, it follows…

Regarding the First Five Episodes of Iron Fist
I got really nervous a few weeks ago because the critics were slamming Iron Fist. Generally speaking, they accused the first six episodes of lacking direction, excitement, or any real sense of danger. Fortunately, I decided to watch it anyway. I’m here to tell you – in regards to the first five episodes, the critics…

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman – A Book Review
Neil Gaiman has written an incredibly engaging account of the Norse gods in this slim book. Often seen as lesser than the Greek gods, I believe the Norse deities are enjoying a resurgence of late primarily thanks to the Marvel Thor movies. Has Loki ever been more popular than during the last several years? However,…

The Book Of Strange New Things by Michel Faber – A Book Review
A friend recommended The Book Of Strange New Things to me a while back, so when I saw a beautiful hardcover edition in the severe discount bin at my local grocery store, I swept it up without hesitation. (I’m still trying to figure out why it ended up in a discount bin at my grocery…

Logan – A Movie Review
This is the Wolverine movie you’ve been waiting for. Who knew all it took to bring us the real Logan was a little thing like being Rated-R? I say that in jest, of course. Generally speaking, I’m not a fan of super hero movies being Rated-R for the sake of being Rated-R, but with characters…

Arrival – A Movie Review
I could keep this review pretty simple by saying this is one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite some time and it also brought me to tears. Not enough for you? Okay, I’ll keep going. The premise of Arrival is that twelve alien ships have arrived across the planet’s surface. The ships are…
