Maundy Thursday
Today is Maundy Thursday, the day in which Jesus revealed one of the Twelve Disciples would betray him and issued his final command. A few weeks ago, a woman from my church contacted me and asked if I’d like to fill in for the role of Simon the Zealot during their Maundy Thursday play. It’s…

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them – A Movie Review
After somehow missing it in the theaters, I’m happy to announce I finally got around to watching Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. First of all, I’d like to say that I’m really glad they are continuing to build the Harry Potter universe. It’s a rich universe ripe for ample storytelling, and I think…

Passengers – A Movie Review
I love the recent resurgence of space movies. To me, it’s a sign that we are regaining a societal urge to explore the stars once again. Could this reflect a renewed dissatisfaction with Earthly events? Perhaps. Passengers did not initially demand my visit to the theater. Honestly, I like Jennifer Lawrence, but she’s not “must-see”…

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,…
