The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening – A Few Thoughts
I should begin by noting that I am not even close to being a serious gamer. In fact, the last time I consistently sat and played video games was circa 1989. However, my children have a Nintendo Switch, and, as time passed, I couldn’t help but notice a game for sale called The Legend Of…

Radioactive – A Movie Review
My wife and I tend to enjoy movies based on historical events. Though we’d honestly never heard of Radioactive, we both like Rosamund Pike and I generally find Amazon Originals to be high quality.

He’s landed a coveted jazz gig, one that could literally change his life, but then…

Wonder Woman: 1984 – A (Spoiler-Free) Movie Review
Let me start by saying that I adore the first Wonder Woman film. That moment when Wonder Woman climbs out of the trenches and crosses No Man’s Land … I think it will forevermore be one of the most iconic cinematic scenes in movie history. Furthermore, it had a tight storyline, introduced the entire world…
