I Review What I Want
Going into Justice League, I tried my absolute best to keep an open mind. Wonder Woman wasn't perfect, but was a big improvement for DC, and the trailers for Justice League showed some real promise. I liked their casting and creative choices for Flash, and Jason Momoa seemed like he could bring some great energy... Continue Reading →
Star Trek Discovery is deeply weird. Spoilers ahead In my review of The Orville, I mentioned that Discovery isn't the spiritual successor to the Star Trek franchise, and now that I'm further into the series that remains true. I tried to figure out what it might be the successor to (since nothing is truly original)... Continue Reading →
Just a few weeks ago, Runic Games released Hob on PS4 and Windows gaming systems. Hob is an action adventure game centered around an impish character with a robot arm, exploring the world he wakes up in, loosely guided by a mysterious robot mentor. The game is as artistic as it is unique to the... Continue Reading →
The Orville isn't what most people expected it to be. Despite being the brainchild of Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane it's almost nothing like Family Guy. Sure, there's the occasional dick joke, but the show doesn't rely on crude humour. Instead it relies on plot, story, and character. Not to say that it doesn't have... Continue Reading →
American Gods shouldn't work. The novel is a bizarre but brilliant piece - it's flawed, it's strange, it does something that only Neil Gaiman can do. He takes the epic, the mythical, and manages to preserve that sense of scale while also making it human, relatable. Gaiman's most well known work is the comic series... Continue Reading →
This review contains many, many spoilers. You have been warned. I wrote my first book because I wanted a zombie story where the survival elements were realistic and the main character actually had skills. I'm a bit of a survivalist/bushcraft enthusiast, so I might not be an expert, but in general I know what wilderness... Continue Reading →
I first ran into The Girl With all the Gifts when a friend told me I had to watch it. He's in the UK, and I'm in Canada, so it wasn't an option at the time - I had to wait. Now, Andrew has amazing taste in movies and when he makes that strong a... Continue Reading →
Chesterton and I have just returned from watching It, and we both had roughly the same reaction walking out of it. Going into this movie, I had always been a fan of the original. Chesterton, never really the horror buff, has not seen the original. Having read up on the bare minimum "essentials" of what... Continue Reading →
This poster hangs on the wall next to my desk. This is a totally unbiased review 😉 Night of the Living Dead is a classic, it introduced the world to the modern zombie and it changed horror forever. It's a great movie, but it isn't the director's favourite version of the movie. George A. Romero... Continue Reading →
In the past year, Netflix seems to be really ramping up their production of original films and TV shows. While there are some releases that Netflix promotes highly, and tend to get a lot of attention on their own, there are others that get pushed out, and we hardly hear a thing about them. Having...
