Rental Movie Review: John Carter of Mars
I just watched John Carter of Mars on BluRay. This is the second time I’ve seen it, the first being when I was deployed to Afghanistan. It was something of a shock to me, because I heard it did terribly, yet when I watched it I thought it was pretty epic. The casting was great,…

The Ninjas Ate My Homework
I have to admit, I’ve become something of an American Ninja Warrior addict over the past six months. It’s a difficult confession to make, in some ways, with how much work I’ve got to do and how little free time, that I’m watching two hours a week of one television show which is in many…

Myths and Legends Con 2014 Experience
Myths and Legends Con, also known as Malcon, is a Denver, Colorado convention. This was my first year both attending and being a guest. All in all, it was a fun experience. I met a lot of folks, both writers, fans, and that interesting group of people who just sort of show up, not really…

All your galaxies are belong to us… Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Review
I have to admit, the movie I was most excited about this summer was Guardians of the Galaxy. Why? Well, I had never heard of the comics, I don’t even read comic books. I didn’t know much about the characters or setting, just what I saw in the trailers… and what did I see…

Edge of Tomorrow Review (Or Killing Tom Cruise A Lot)
There once was a movie called Groundhog’s Day. Edge of Tomorrow is sort of like if you took that movie, combined it with Starship Troopers (the book, not the movie) and put Tom Cruise in there to get murdered. (I don’t think that’s a spoiler, it’s revealed in the trailers and posters). It makes for…

Godzilla Movie Review
Here’s my quick (spoiler free) review of the new Godzilla movie (2014). I’ll do a full review, later this week when I’ve got more time, where I’ll pick apart some of the plot, characterization, and such. First off, I enjoyed it. The overall design of the movie was well done. The story was revealed in…

Starfest Denver 2014
I had the opportunity to attend Starfest last weekend as an author and participant. It was a great time, all in all, with the highlight being the Combat in Science Fiction and Fantasy Panel. We had a great turnout for that panel (almost standing room only) and excellent audience participation. Sunday was May…
