Pendragon Cycle Streaming Series Reaction:
I watched the Pendragon Cycle, Rise of Merlin teaser trailer and wanted to share my thoughts on it. I really enjoyed the books when I first read them, they were a great blend of gritty realism, mythology, and historical fantasy. Here’s what I think based off the glimpses we get in the teaser. I’ve included…

Kal’s Substack
Some of you may have noticed… I have a substack going now as well. I thought, why not, it’s the trendy thing to do… right? Jokes aside, it gives me another platform to post on, and it allows me to separate some of my gaming / writing craft stuff from my posts here, which tend…

Guns, Lots of Guns: John Wick Parabellum Movie Review
John Wick was a movie that quite frankly caught me off-guard. I went into it expecting some kind of mindless action flick and got caught up in a visceral revenge movie with amazing fight scenes. John Wick as a character possessed intriguing levels of depth and a level of resignation and crisp professionalism about everything…

Shazaam! Movie Review (No Spoilers)
DC/Warner Brothers has done a shift towards more light-hearted entertainment and they went to the kid/superhero Shazaam with their latest release. It’s a pretty big shift, one that began (arguably) with Wonder Woman and continued with Aquaman. Overall, it’s a shift I appreciate because, well, I’ll admit I detested their grimdark approach from before. So…

King of the Seas: Aquaman Movie Review (no spoilers)
I watched Aquaman last night. I’ve got to say, I haven’t been this hyped up about a DC movie in… well, ever. Which is pretty amusing considering Aquaman has been sort of a joke for a long, long time. The movie manages to live up to that hype. It’s fun, it’s got good action, an…

Solo Movie Review
As the year has been pretty busy, I didn’t get to see Solo while it was still in theaters. To be clear, I didn’t approach this movie expecting it to be the best Star Wars movie ever. I wanted something fun and light-hearted, something to distract and entertain. And coming away from it, that’s what…

Helloween Masquerade
Hey everyone. I celebrated my birthday this weekend by visiting the Helloween Masquerade here in Denver. The big draw of it for me was Cruxshadows, one of my favorite bands, and since they rarely (if ever) tour in the US and it happened to fall on my birthday weekend, everything worked out perfectly. If you’re…

A Worthy Evolution: The Predator Movie Review
Hey everyone. I went and saw The Predator this weekend. It’s getting rather mixed reviews, so I thought I’d put in my own two cents. You know the scene in Ant Man, where Luis is explaining something and it rambles everywhere and doesn’t make a lot of sense, but is probably the best part of…

Movie Review: Ant Man and the Wasp
As things go, Ant Man and the Wasp was exactly the movie I needed to see. If you’re a fan of the Marvel movies, or even if you aren’t, it’s fun, fast paced, and humorous. The risks are dire and personal, this isn’t a movie where they’re fighting an alien of ridiculous power and strength. …

Too Incredible: Incredibles 2 movie review.
There’s an opening section of the movie where the actors and writers apologize for the movie taking so long. They say it was worth the wait. You know, they actually were right. The Incredibles 2 really was a fantastic movie and oddly enough, it was worth the wait. Without going into spoilers, the movie tackles…
