• Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space by Adam Higginbotham details the tragic accident of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in February of 1986. I was excited to learn about this incident and knew the book and story were in good hands with Adam. Having read and absolutely loved…

  • What exactly is wrong with me? Or more exactly, what is wrong with other people? I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Holland, only to be completely surprised at the low score it received, currently sitting at 5/10 on IMDb with 6.3k ratings so far. WHAT? Like really…WHAT?? I’m hoping the score will get bumped up a bit higher…

  • And……the stupidest-and-most-boring-but-you’re-not-supposed-to-complain-about-it-because-it’s-supposed-to-be-a-fun-and-lighthearted-movie I’ve watched in 2025 goes to The Monkey. I’m starting to believe that anything Stephen King touches within the past decade or so is just not for me and that includes his novels. The Salem’s Lot remake was just pure putrid bile. Fairy Tale I couldn’t even bring myself to finish even though…

  • I’m proud of you, Shudder. You did us horror fans right with this one. Bahh gawddd… a continuous one-shot zombie film? I don’t remember seeing many of these one-shot movies, with the last being 1917 starring George MacKay, but it’s obviously very ambitious of the directors and actors and actresses to go for it. How…

  • Yes, I’m a book nerd. Always have been and always will be. Ever since third or fourth grade, I remember having to do book reports and actually loving it while almost every other kid dreaded this horrible and time-wasting activity. While other kids selected the absolute thinnest of books that they could get away with,…

  • I gotta love fanatical religious movies at times. It’s one of the easiest ways to trigger viewers, whether they themselves are religious or not. But a Korean fanatical religious movie at that? Yes, sign me up day one. Revelations was just released on Netflix on March 21, 2025, and I immediately jumped on it. It’s…

  • I love the rap music genre, but I never could get into trap or drill music. That, or the type of songs that feature very similar sounding beats that rely heavily on bass along with the rappers mumble rapping and whatnot. Heck, I can’t even get into the more popular southern type raps that are…

  • Fresh off the press in Hulu’s Original movie lineup, Control Freak starring Kelly Marie Tran feels more like a Shudder Original movie instead. It’s a pretty good psychological horror movie that combines a slow burn throughout the movie and culminates in pure chaos towards the end. At first, I thought the movie played on the…

  • There There by Thomas Orange is a contemporary novel surrounding a dozen or so members of the Native community and how their lives will inevitably be intertwined and affected. There There, unfortunately for me, is one of the worst novels I’ve fully completed in a while. There are just so many things that I did…
