DC Movies, String Theory, Parallel Worlds, and You
Ezra Miller confirmed on MTV News that he will indeed play Barry Allen and The Flash in 2018’s film. This troubles some because the CW already has a very successful, much loved television show of the same name starring the same character played by Grant Gustin. Of course, if you’ve been paying close attention, you’ll…

East of West: Volume 4 by Hickman and Dragotta – A Book Review
East of West continues to be one of my favorite series. In this fourth volume, HIckman and Dragotta continue to expand their complex world, even going so far as providing maps and timelines. This series is a little bit western, a little bit alternate history, a little bit science fiction, a little bit near-apocalyptic dystopia,…

The Night Bookmobile by Audrey Niffenegger – A Book Review
Not quite a picture book and not quite a graphic novel, The Night Bookmobile, like its plot, is gloriously subversive in terms of both genre and plot. In this short tale we have Alexandra, a woman who strolls Chicago streets during the early, early morning. She happens across a night bookmobile in the shape of a…

Batman v Superman – Actions Have Consequences
After the initial trailer released for Batman v Superman, I felt excited. Very excited. But that excitement cannot compare to the sheer exuberance I experienced while watching the latest trailer the other day. Why so very enthusiastic? It’s not merely the sight of Wonder Woman in all her Amazonian glory. It’s not just watching Batman…

You Better Know the Score
I once read that Stephen King loves to listen to rock music while he writes. Unfortunately, I can’t do that. I get too distracted by lyrics and, well, words. However, I do actually love to listen to music while I work. For me, scores work well. When I say “score,” I’m talking about movie music.…

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart – A Book Review
A friend recommended I give We Were Liars a read, and so I promptly picked it up at my local library. I’m unfamiliar with E. Lockhart, but the blurbs, particularly John Green’s, encouraged me. Most of We Were Liars captivates. Our main character and narrator, Cadence, belongs to an old old money family and she, along…

Jupiter Ascending – A Movie Review
I made a promise to myself after seeing Cloud Atlas that I would go to the theater for any Wachowski film ever released. I am, after all, a huge The Matrix fan and I even think highly of their Speed Racer iteration. Cloud Atlas put them over the top, though. I felt it a masterful…

The Alex Crow by Andrew Smith – A Book Review
They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet I chose this book solely because of just that. I saw the cover art on First Second’s (@01FirstSecond) Twitter page and then immediately picked it up at my local library. I didn’t know what to expect from The Alex Crow even after reading its…
