No Sudden Move – A Movie Review
I watched No Sudden Move on HBO Max last night frankly because I wanted to watch an actual movie and it seemed like the best option available. I also knew Steven Soderbergh is a celebrated director, and that fact, coupled with an impressive cast, made it an easy choice. Set in the early 1950s, No…

Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine – A Book Review
Though Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine is one of the wackiest books that I’ve ever read, it has burrowed into my heart and will stay there for quite some time. It won’t reside in my heart because it’s sentimental to me or because it imparted upon me some important life lesson. No, it’s special to…

Luca – A Movie Review
Quite honestly, when I sat down with my daughters to watch this movie, I had virtually no idea what it was about. We wanted to do a movie night, we all generally like Disney Pixar films, Luca was pretty new, and so we decided to go for it. The animation immediately caught my attention–it is…

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of the Wild – A Few Thoughts
You may remember that I recently got back into video games. I started with The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. I then moved on to Super Mario Odyssey. After beating both of those games, I decided it was time to take on the one game that seems to be everyone’s favorite on the Switch –…

Mare Of Easttown – A Few Thoughts
I thoroughly enjoy listening to Chris and Andy from The Watch, and they immediately lauded Mare Of Easttown as soon as they could–before it even debuted, if I’m not mistaken. Because they were so excited for it, my wife and I made sure to catch it as soon as the first episode aired. We were…

The Vegetarian by Han Kang – A Book Review
When I mentioned to a friend that I grew interested in reading novels written by international authors–especially those from Eastern cultures, she quickly recommended The Vegetarian by Han Kang. Because I completely respect her opinion, I put it on hold at my local library. I just finished it, and, wow … there’s quite a bit…

Army Of the Dead – A Movie Review
As far as zombie movies set in Las Vegas go, Army Of the Dead was more than entertaining. I can’t claim this film was cinematic genius. I can’t argue it shifted the paradigm regarding zombies. I can’t even say it was the best zombie movie out there. However, I can truthfully proclaim that, if you’re…

Netflix’s Jupiter’s Legacy – A Few Thoughts
If you take a look at Rotten Tomatoes, you’ll see that critics have quite a different take on Jupiter’s Legacy than does the audience. I’m here to tell you, in this case, the critics have it wrong. I’ll admit, Netflix almost lost me on the first episode of Jupiter’s Legacy. It seemed a little too…

Tenet – A Movie Review
I wish I could say to you that Tenet is an intellectual masterpiece, that Christopher Nolan has broken with cinematic convention to such a degree that he has essentially reinvented the medium, and that the story is so complex it works as the equivalent of a Russian doll. I wish I could say all of…

Star Wars: Light of the Jedi (The High Republic) – A Book Review
I must admit that I wasn’t that excited to hear about “The High Republic” campaign. This new Star Wars onslaught is set 200 years before the prequels and explores the Star Wars galaxy at a time when the Jedi were at their most powerful and the Republic was at its most efficient. I call it…
