Thoughts on Amazing Spider Man & Star Wars
Saw The Amazing Spider Man 2 a few weeks ago. Lots of people had issues with the first film of the reboot series. Me, I liked it despite some glaring plot problems (like that whole super secret level 7 life of Richard Parker plot). Was the sequel any better? As a whole, yes Amazing Spider […]

How much Nostalgia is Enough?
I saw the Veronica Mars film a few weeks ago. As a fan of the show, it was a nice trip down memory lane with a possible opening for another trip. It hit all the right notes for fans and highlighted some of the former shows’ more memorable storylines. Almost like an extended reunion episode […]

Chemistry & Prince of Thorn thoughts
Just finished “Prince of Thorns,” the first book in the Broken Empire Trilogy. Like quite a few fantasy books, it definitely has a ‘Game of Thrones’ vibe to it. Its a very dark and more grounded world, with a protagonist who is more villain than hero. My final verdict? I’d recommend it to fantasy fans […]

Thoughts on the film ‘Her’
Wanted to dedicate my last blog post of the year to the film ‘Her,’ which I saw few weeks ago. I’d been interested in this movie the more and more I heard about its premise. A lonely man (Joaquin Phoenix) in a near future LA falls in love with his self aware OS (Scarlett Johansson […]

Almost Human thoughts and book status
I’ve been watching the new Fox show Almost Human since its premiere in November. While the pilot was rough around the edges (but what pilot isn’t kinda awful here and there?), Almost Human showed a huge amount of promise in regards to the near-future world it exists in as well as the show’s overall story […]
