While I was never really a Predator fan, I don’t believe I’d ever really say no to a movie dedicated to this franchise. Predator, like Alien, is just one of those monster movie franchises that many kids have grown up with, and like it or not, that’s what we had back then. I vaguely remember…

For anyone looking for a feel-good story for their next read, Theo of Golden by Allen Levi should be right at the front of that list. As someone who rarely keeps up with new book releases, I only came across this novel, like so many others, by pure chance and randomness upon searching for a…

I absolutely love slow-burner drama movies from China. They do this genre so well. The latest one is The Sun Rises On Us All, directed by Shangjun Cai. He also directed a pretty popular movie back in 2011 called People Mountain, People Sea. I thought I had watched that one, but upon viewing the trailer,…

Apple TV series are usually a hit for me. Back when a monthly subscription was just $4.99 a month, I hadn’t expected much from them in terms of competition with Netflix. Yes, they will obviously have some shows and movies that will knock it out of the park like Ted Lasso, but I felt those…

The Book of D’ni by Rand Miller and David Wingrove is the third and final book in the Myst trilogy. It all boils down to this: having absolutely loved The Book of Ti’ana, I was curious to see how this last story would stack up. Obviously, it wasn’t hard to guess by the title that…

The Book of Atrus, the first in the Myst trilogy, by Rand and Robyn Miller along with David Wingrove, is one of my favorite science fiction novels of all time. That can likely be attributed to the fact that it was one of the earliest science fiction adventure novels I’ve read as a child. I…

Damn…what a batshit crazy movie! Just the way I like it! This first-person documentary highlights how just a few bad events can literally turn a person into a crazy psychopath. The movie is also known as Descent into Darkness, and it’s every bit as real as it gets. I think there will be a lot…

The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson is a literary historical fiction romance that immediately captured my attention once I discovered it by accident. While I rarely read romance, the premise of the story in which a woman claims to be a severely burnt victim of a car crash that she has lived for hundreds of years…

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a Russian literary novel first published in 1880. The version I’ve read, newly translated in 2024, is from Michael R. Katz. I first heard of this novel after having read The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong, in which the main character attempts to read the hefty novel.…
