“Tell Me, Do You Bleed? You Will.”
Well. I did it. I FINALLY saw Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen. But my God, is it a hot mess. SUMMARY: 18 months after the events of Man of Steel, the world...

“It Always Ends In A Fight.”
Well, my friends. The time has come. CIVIL WAR IS UPON US. DISCLAIMER: There will be no spoilers for Civil War until the aptly named and easily avoidable Spoiler Section. However, there will be...

“I’ve Been Dying A Little Bit Each Day Since You Came Back Into My Life.”
Well. I finally started up my Great Star Wars Re-Watch again with Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Man. This movie might actually be worse than I remembered, and I didn’t even like it the first...

“Is That Classical?”
Plenty of Trekkies despise NuTrek Abramsverse the Kelvin Timeline, but–as I’m sure I’ve mentioned before–I’m really not one of them. I’m a completely unabashed fan of the 2009 Star Trek, and while I...

“We’re Bad Guys. It’s What We Do.”
So, Suicide Squad was out for about a week before I had the opportunity to see it, and the reviews in that week were . . . not kind. I’d heard from a few people directly who enjoyed the movie, but...

“He Who Controls Spice Controls The Universe!”
A few months ago, as you may or may not remember, I took part in the Clarion West Write-a-Thon. Donors could purchase a movie review, should they opt to do so, and a man named Tom did. Here is...

“Now, That’s A Proper Introduction.”
I’ve been excited about Arrival for months and had hoped to see the movie shortly after it premiered, but plans, being plans, naturally fell through. So Mekaela and I decided to watch it on...

“I Am One With The Force. The Force Is With Me.”
Mekaela and I spent Christmas in Taft, California this year, visiting our dad. Taft is a small place in the middle of absolute nowhere (though, in fairness, I feel obligated to point out that it is...

“Well, We Just Gave A Ghost A Nuke. We Should Probably Run.”
After the disappointment that was The Hateful Eight, Mekaela and I turned our eyes to lighter fare: the 2016, all-female remake of Ghostbusters. I was a little ashamed of myself for not seeing this...

“The Dreams of Youth Are The Regrets of Maturity.”
Without a movie challenge this year, I came to a startling realization a few weeks ago: I could rent whatever the hell I wanted from Netflix. There were no self-imposed deadlines I had to meet, no...

“A Broken Clock Is Right Two Times A Day, But This Is Not One of Those Times.”
Last year, I re-watched Beauty and the Beast for the first time in ages. I picked at it, because that’s my thing, but I still loved it because I’ll always love it. I have massive little girl nostalgia...

“Dormammu, I’ve Come To Bargain!”
While waiting to see Wonder Woman (soon, it will happen soon), Mekaela and I went ahead and watched a different superhero movie, one that we never quite got around to seeing: Doctor Strange....

“What I Do Is Not Up To You.”
Okay! Guess what I finally have for you! Sure, it’s been roughly two weeks since Wonder Woman premiered and there have already been, like, 274 different hot takes on it, but clearly what’s important is...

“Welcome To The Loser’s Club, Asshole!”
I’ve said this before, I know, but It is my very favorite Stephen King book. There are problems, of course (the scene, THE SCENE), but the novel will always and forever have a place in my heart....

“We Know Each Other! He’s a Friend From Work!”
So, I went to the movies last weekend. One guess on what I saw. I enjoyed Thor: Ragnarok! I don’t think I liked it quite as much as other people, which I guess is just normal now? Still, I had a good...

“I Know Your Mustache.”
I read my first Agatha Christie novel when I was eleven. By now I’ve read dozens, and while I always enjoy them, most have long since blended in my head, like half-forgotten Friends episodes or various...

“Let The Past Die. Kill It, If You Have To.”
So. The Last Jedi, huh? I saw this movie basically the second it opened, but I haven’t had the opportunity to write about it until now–although, of course, I’ve read everyone else on the internet...

“I Feel Strange Sharing A Childhood Story Considering I Was Never A Child.”
Somewhat recently, The Dark ran a successful Kickstarter campaign that not only secured funding for two more years, but also raised their pay rates from .03 to .06 cents a word, making them a...

“She Has Now Become Satan’s Prisoner!”
Well, that was predictable: for the sake of the 2018 Clarion West Write-a-Thon, I sold my reviewing services to the highest bidder–so to speak–and the highest bidder, once again, was Evil Tom. Now,...

“Say Goodbye To Classical Reality.”
I have something of a hit-and-miss relationship with John Carpenter’s work. I adore The Thing. I like Big Trouble in Little China. Escape from New York is enjoyable enough, but ultimately, I liked...
