The Tomorrow War – A Movie Review
I honestly had no idea what to expect from The Tomorrow War. Chris Pratt is always a little hit or miss with me. I love Sam Richardson, but I’ve only seen him in funny movies. I also love J.K. Simmons. I only knew Betty Gilpin from GLOW, a dramedy. I’d never heard of Yvonne Strahovski.…

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 Bomber Mafia by Malcolm Gladwell
I didn’t know exactly what to expect from The Bomber Mafia. The title is a little misleading if you’re not an air warfare aficionado. However, I generally enjoy everything Malcolm Gladwell writes, so I thought it was worth trying out. The Bomber Mafia proved a quick, informative, engaging read that not only entertained me, but…

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…
