Well, this was another one that got a lot of hype. I was quite surprised to see that Adam Scott got to star in this one. I’ve been having a blast binge-watching the Parks and Recreation sitcom, and Adam’s character, Ben Wyatt, made the show that much more fun. He obviously got a big boost…

Chalk this one up as another must-read novel for fans of nonfiction true crime and investigative journalism. It’s an incredible story about a serial killer in Italy that began in the late 1960s and has yet to be identified to this day—and likely never will be. In this book, a local crime reporter teams up…

I’ll be honest. If I were to one day meet a sudden, mysterious, and untimely death, I’d likely want this author to investigate and write a book about it. Say Nothing was a great read and introduced me to him. I saw London Falling as one of his newest books to come out, read a…

Fans of CJ Sansom’s Matthew Shardlake historical mystery series will likely feel right at home here with John Pilkington’s Bishopsgate Ward series. The first of three, Death of a Stranger, introduces us to constable Matthew Cutler. Set in around 1594, it’s right after the London plague, and things are only starting to resemble a normal…

Chalk up a winner for another Shudder exclusive horror movie. They were right to acquire this movie. Faces of Death is not a remake of the original film from 1978, like I had first thought it would be. I’ve never watched it myself but had Googled it prior to going into this one. It’s a…

In the first book in the Frankie Elkin series by Lisa Gardner, readers are introduced to a woman in her mid-forties whose one main goal and purpose is to help find missing people. This is a weird character because Frankie is not a professional private investigator nor a part of some retired police force. All…

I’m sure there are some dumbasses out there like me who thought initially this was a remake of the 1999 movie of the same name starring none other than the OG himself, Brendan Fraser. That was such a classic and awesome movie that I’ve watched many, many times. Are they really going to remake it?…

Brutal. Just absolutely brutal. Were my eyes deceiving me when I saw the series getting a mere 4.2 stars on IMDb? For a Star Wars series? Wow. I’ve always had the urge to watch and/or read the Star Wars series in chronological order. That might be blasphemous to some of the most hardcore of fans…

I think it’s never not fun to read about the adventures of Princess Leia. Although most fans undoubtedly know of her time in the Rebellion and of her heroic deeds in bringing down the Empire, her time in the New Republic Senate also brings with it some grand adventures. Unfortunately I think for many, Bloodline…

Is there such a thing as too “grand” a setting in a story? I used to think no. The grander the better. However, Exodus: The Archimedes Engine by Peter F. Hamilton is making me think hard on taking that back. It is unfortunate to have to point out that I could not finish the book.…
