Wily Wordplay: Shakespeare Quotes
As many of you know my first novel The Seeker will be released this Friday, July 31st. As such I thought I would treat you all to some of my favorite quotes from the greatest author of all-time the Bard of Bards: Mr. William Shakespeare.
“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”― As You Like It “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”
―Julius Caesar “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your phil...

Mind Blown- Time (Part 1)
Try to focus on this moment right now. Fix it in your mind. You can’t, can you? Because even as you think about a moment that moment has passed. What we consider to be the present is actually the recent past.

Worth It?- Robocop (2014)
In today’sinstallment of Worth It? I venture into the world of science fiction to check out the recent remake of cult classic Robocop.

Despite all that the new Robocop does have its fans and a pretty talented cast that includes Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman, and Michael K. Williams so I figured I’d give it a go.

How Have You Not Seen That?- Groundhog Day
Ever feel like you’re stuck in an inescapable loop. That no matter what you do you’re trapped to repeat the same patterns over and over again? That you’re doomed to wake up to Sonny and Cher every day for the rest of your life? Well you’re not alone. And if you think you are it’s because you’ve not seen the subject of this month’s installment of How Have You Not Seen That?: Groundhog Day. Long before Bill Murray was a t-shirt he was a genuine movie star. And in 1993 he was at the height of hi...

Worth It?- Horns
Can Harry Potter pull off an American accent? If you play David Bowie backwards can you hear the Devil speak to you? Is being friend-zoned a special kind of hell? These questions and more will be answered in this edition of Worth It? when we check out the trippy 2014 horror/crime film Horns staring Daniel Radcliffe.
Radcliffe plays Ig, a radio DJ who has been accused of raping then murdering his longtime girlfriend. The movie begins with a shot of the couple happy together in the woods than t...
