Movie Review: Passengers
Passengers is a movie that’s seen a lot of grief over the past month. I think that’s in part because it asks difficult decisions. In short, one character makes a morally terrible decision early on… and he makes it for a very human reason. When he makes that decision, the viewer can empathize with him.…

I am one with the Force- Star Wars: Rogue One Review (No Spoilers)
Star Wars is at this point a factor of culture and a defining element of fandom within those who identify as geeks and nerds. The story, of hope, of good versus evil is something that almost everyone can identify with. Star Wars: Rogue One (Or is it Rogue One: Star Wars?) is very much a…

Movie Review: Doctor Strange
I saw Doctor Strange. It was awesome. Go see it. Review done. Wait, you want more? Fine… Plot-wise, it’s basically Marvel’s standard formula. Put a lot of arrogance, a lot of talent, and ridiculously good looks into a main character package, stir in some terrible tragedy and a stretch of painful character growth and then…

Movie Review: The Magnificent Seven
I generally don’t review remakes and normally I stick to science fiction or fantasy for my reviews of movies and books. I’m making an exception because I enjoyed Magnificent 7. It was a fun, action-filled movie. It didn’t drag out some long-winded message about how terrible our ancestors were (mine were over in Europe) or…

Movie Review: Star Trek Beyond
I saw Star Trek Beyond on Friday. I’ve got to say, I’ve been somewhat amblivient about the reboot of the series. It often felt like the first two movies were riding the coat-tails of the original ones. With the latest movie, the rebooted series finally seems to have come into its own. Star Trek Beyond…

Movie Review of Captain America: Civil War (No Spoilers)
No Spoilers. I’m not a comic book fan. In fact, the couple times I’ve tried to read comic books, I’ve come away frustrated and annoyed. Mostly because I read too fast and I don’t stop to appreciate the art. That said, I did read up on what “Civil War” would involve, seeing as I love…

Just a quick update since a lot of the conventions are posting guests and I have a good idea of my schedule. I’ll be attending a number of the same conventions this year, so I thought I’d post dates and locations for those of you who may attend the same ones: Cosine – Colorado Springs,…

Movie Review: Deadpool
In ancient times, the Romans celebrated Lupercalia, a fertility celebration with some vague ties to Valentines Day. Lupercalia involved blood sacrifice, lots of nudity, and a little bit of violence. In that fashion, Deadpool is the perfect movie to celebrate that holiday. I thought that writing a review about the new Deadpool movie would…
