There's already a lot of back and forth about The Tomorrow War in reviews and I don't like Pratt that much so I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this. It's not the greatest movie by far. But actually as a summer sci-fi/action film The Tomorrow War is pure summer movie fun! And I'm... Continue Reading →
Marvel’s Eternals Gamble
Well we got a teaser trailer for Marvel's Eternals movie and while I'm not as enthused about this story I am interested that this may be Marvel's biggest gamble. At least in terms of character origin stories. Plus I want to be enthused I really do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WVDKZJkGlY Marvel has generally liked to keep their origin...

There’s Something in the Sky
Directed By: Andrew Patterson Okay anything alien related or even just weird and out there and I am in right now.

No This Wasn’t the First
Aliens Directed By: James Cameron SPOILERS! So since Disney owns Fox now that kind of makes Ripley a Princess right? I mean they even call her Sleeping Beauty in this and she does have some of the story traits including a seemingly happy ending. I say seemingly because somehow after Scott and Cameron kept things...

What’s Scarier? Books vs. Films
I started reading It last week- the movie version helped restart my interest in the horror genre. Unsurprisingly like most of the King books I've read from that era I can't put it down. And reading it while awaiting the final chapter and thinking on some of the other scary movies I've watched or am... Continue Reading →
Skyward Bound
Skyward By: Brandon Sanderson Brandon Sanderson is one of those authors I've always wanted to read but at the same time I look at his books and go, "Man those are long." So I'm happy to say Skyward (was long) but totally fun and fast and I will definitely be picking up more of his... Continue Reading →
