• Heard some nice things about this movie, so I decided to check it out. Right off the bat, you’ll notice the unique direction of the movie in that it’s shot from the perspective of the ghost/spirit. I initially wasn’t feeling the movie that much in the beginning, but it slowly, if only a little, started…

  • Sometimes you come across a song that is so criminally unknown or underrated that, well, it’s almost a crime in itself. All it took was one listen, and I was instantly hooked. It wouldn’t be a surprise to me that the song most likely was a top ten hit at some point or another. What…

  • YOU.HAVE.GOT.TO.BE.KIDDING.ME! After throwing some praise for Death Whisperer, I was excited to go into part two. What did I get in return for my praises? An absolute garbage and disgrace of a follow-up. That’s what. Just what the heck happened here? It seems like it has the same director and the full cast is back…

  • Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder by Salman Rushdie is a memoir going over the events before, during, and afterwards of the attempted murder of the author himself on August 12 of 2022. To be quite honest and clear, I had never heard of Salman Rushdie before this attack. I do remember getting notifications of…

  • All the Devils Are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis by Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera goes into great detail on how the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-2009 came to be. It was either this book or “Too Big to Fail” by Andrew Sorkin. I chose the former because it’s supposed to go…

  • Here we go again! Back at it with another horror movie coming out of Thailand! Surprisingly, Death Whisperer was a pretty decent movie. Sure, as with seemingly all Asian horror flicks hailing from countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, to name a few off the top of my head that I’ve watched, the themes…

  • The River We Remember by William Kent Krueger is a fantastic literary historical fiction piece of work. It explores some of the racial problems we face today but focuses mainly on the Native Americans in a small town in Jewel, Minnesota. While the story takes place a little after World War II, racial issues are…

  • Not a very interesting mini-murder series. However, I’m usually down to watch some foreign films or series. And yes, one must watch them in their native language audio. Subs over dubs, as the saying goes. At only six episodes of about 40 minutes each, spanning two different mysteries, it was a quick binge. The problem…

  • I’m sorry, Hong Kong’ers, but I’m hearing a lot more catchy and memorable songs coming out of Taiwan each week on Spotify, and it’s not even close. A lot of the songs coming out of Hong Kong from the playlist I’ve subscribed to on Spotify are just plain boring. Whereas in Taiwan, their R&B hits…

  • Watching two movies regarding humans turning into wolves and werewolves in less than a month apart must be a new record for me. Werewolves was a pretty atrocious movie. Could Wolf Man clean things up and provide some good, fun entertainment in this mythical creature genre? Sadly, no, it doesn’t. What’s worse is that it’s…
