Star Wars The Force Awakens Trailer

Looks interesting, but, I don’t want to get psyched up till I actually see it. The prequel had its good parts and bad parts. I loved Revenge Of The Sith, the sequences showing what the Jedi can do really were incredible. That said, had they added about 5 minutes of stuff to really put you […]

Anybody Watch “The Strain”?

Hey, a non-political post. The Strain, based on the books by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, just made it through the first season, and, if memory serves, the first book of the trilogy. It’s been quite some time since I read the novels. I must say I loved this show. Was it a bit […]

I’ve moved on from reading the books, but, when they first started being published, I read them religiously, either buying […]

Recommendation: The Hobbit

If you’ve read any of my post-movie writings, you know I do not do reviews: I do recommendations. And, The Hobbit? I went to see it this afternoon (after finishing my Christmas shopping). Was it good? 4 1/2 stars out of 5. There’s a second rating I give, which is “matinee or primetime?” I’d pay […]
