I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them over the Christmas holiday and I had some very interesting thoughts. Again, I don't want to hash out "yet another review" of whether it was good or not. I'll leave that to the professionals. I will also assume anyone reading this has already seen the movie, because although… Continue reading Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (movie)

Review: Rogue One (Spoilers!)
Spoiler-ish review. Read only if/when you have watched!
Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
Today is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek's premier on TV. I think it is a perfect day for some self-reflection and future-focused thought. Who do I want to be in 50 years? Or 500 (I mean, obviously, who do I want to be remembered as in 500 years since there is no current method confirmed… Continue reading Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
Review: Ghostbuster
This movie would not have changed my life except for the controversy around it. It was an enjoyable summer flick - but because of all the rage (I mean really, it's just another remake)... I have given it a different kind of attention. I was watching looking for feminism rants and sexist bullshit. It wasn't there. It… Continue reading Review: Ghostbuster
Review: Deadpool (movie)
I'm sorry, I don't think I can do a legitimate review on Deadpool. Not a good review at least. First off, there are about 800 spoilers I'd need to avoid... So to keep it vague enough not to spoil the fun comments, witty banter, and spoofs... I don't know that I can do it justice.… Continue reading Review: Deadpool (movie)
Review: Pride & Prejudice & Zombie (movie)
This review will contain spoilers. I mean really - it's got "Pride & Prejudice" in the title. At this point, if you don't know the premise... I don't think I can help you that much. So I am, in this case, not going to worry about spoilers. Overall, (TL;DR) I was incredibly disappointed. The screenplay… Continue reading Review: Pride & Prejudice & Zombie (movie)
Review: [spoiler free] Star Wars the Force Awakened
This review will inevitably be short because I am avoiding spoilers. However, I can make some general statements about my first viewing of Star Wars: the Force Awakened. Overall: Go watch it so we can talk about the spoilers already. Characters: I liked most of the characters in this one. There was nothing like Jar-Jar… Continue reading Review: [spoiler free] Star Wars the Force Awakened
Writing: Turning off to enjoy the plot
One of the hardest parts of being a writer - at least in my opinion - is turning it off. I love movies which actually can surprise me. It's a rare plot twist that I don't catch - even on the first pass of a movie. It's why Unbreakable has a special place in my heart. It… Continue reading Writing: Turning off to enjoy the plot
Review: Kermit & Piggy
Is she Mrs. Piggy if she married Kermit? With the recent announcement that Kermit & Piggy separated, I have done a lot of thinking about them as characters. It bothered me, and it has bothered me since the 2011 movie came out and how they portrayed the muppets there... they felt "wrong" and it is only… Continue reading Review: Kermit & Piggy
Review: The 10th Kingdom
This is one of my favorite books and mini-series. The show isn't exactly like the book, but it does a very close job of it. I probably watch this once a year (maybe every 10 months) and I've read the book an average of every 16 months since the first time I read it. If you haven't… Continue reading Review: The 10th Kingdom
