Dick Jokes, Humorous Deaths, Lots of Luck, and Cable: A Deadpool 2 Movie Review (No Spoilers)
There’s a surprising amount of controversy over whether or not Deadpool 2 is worth seeing. I really liked watching the first one in theaters. Deadpool as a movie wasn’t without its flaws, but it was a whole lot of fun. Deadpool 2 is more of the same, plus some actually fun and engaging characters. If…

Movie Review (Spoilers): Avengers Infinity War
This review contains spoilers. So reader beware, I’m going to go analytical on this one… but first I’m going to preface the spoilers with some generic comments. Yes, I enjoyed the movie. I think people should see it themselves. Other (mostly) non-spoilery comments: I think Cap’s new shield(s) are lame. I want a Wakandan energy…

LTUE 2018 In Review
Apologies for the delay in posting this. Between the long drive out and back and the backlog of stuff I had to do once I got home, I’m a bit behind on posting. LTUE is always a fantastic convention. It is predominantly a writing convention, which makes it more focused and the group, as a…

Movie Review: Black Panther
Black Panther is an interesting movie. On one hand, its a Marvel superhero movie, another one in the chain. On the other hand, it’s an epic scale dynastic struggle akin to an epic fantasy series like Game of Thrones, complete with lots of worldbuilding. Black Panther has plenty of action, humor, and a surprising level…

Movie Review: Thor Ragnarok
I finally had the time to watch Thor: Ragnarok. Short version: it’s a crazy, fast-paced, often ADHD, humorous, adventure. Go see it for yourself. Long version: the movie is funny, the action scenes are over the top and Cate Blanchet is a fantastic villain. The interactions between Thor and Loki are witty and charming and…

Movie Review: Kingsmen: The Golden Circle
Kingsmen: The Golden Circle is a movie that I wasn’t sure that I really wanted to see. I enjoyed the first movie, which surprised me as I had expected it to be another generic action movie. The first movie was witty and had some surprisingly insightful moments of introspection. Eggsy was a fun character who…

What a bunch of a-holes: Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Movie Review
(Spoiler Free) Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2, is in some ways even more of a trippy ride than the first one. There’s the same manic energy, the same ridiculous, over the top humor. It’s exciting, and epic, and as crazy as a box of ferrets on crack. Guardians of the Galaxy was unique, fun,…

Guns, Lots of Guns A John Wick Chapter 2 Movie Review
Guns, lots of guns… wait, wrong movie… right? The first John Wick movie was a dark, gritty, story about revenge, heavy on gun work and with a surprising level of characterization. To top things off, when the YouTube video of Keanu Reeves doing gun training for the sequel aired, it was straight out awesome. Needless…

Movie Review: The Space Between Us
The Space Between Us is a near-future science fiction romance. In my opinion, it’s a perfect Valentine’s Day movie to drag your significant other along for a night out. It’s optimistic, it’s sappy, and it’s fun. Honestly, I’d put it in the same category of movies as Tomorrowland and Stardust. The plot isn’t overly complicated.…
