What a shame. After having thoroughly enjoyed The Light Pirate and Good Morning, Midnight and singing its praises, Lily Brooks-Dalton returns with her next novel, Ruins. This novel is everything that The Light Pirate was not, and I mean that in a very, very bad way. How could this have happened? The disparity between the…

I had wanted to watch a deep psychological crime thriller, and Queen Mantis had been on my list for a while. The premise is interesting, and of course, I mean obviously, the very first thing that came to my mind was Clarice and Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. The cat-and-mouse game along…

DJ Muggs is the mastermind behind the beats and sound of rap group Cypress Hill. I personally believe he is another one of those extremely underrated producers who don’t get mentioned enough. Similar to Mannie Fresh, who basically made the Cash Money sound so popular in the ’90s, Havoc’s dark and grimy New York sound…

The author said that not enough older women are featured in fantasy novels, let alone cast as the main lead. I agree, and that’s what drew me to Daughter of Crows. Never mind the beautiful cover artwork nor that the author is well known for writing dark fantasy novels. It has personally been a while…

It’s hard to believe that it has been a decade since this movie came out. This will be my second time watching this great movie. The Wailing will likely be held as one of the most popular Korean horror movies within the previous decade, right next to Train to Busan, if Reddit is anything to…

I really had wanted to like this movie, but in the end, I have mixed feelings about it. It’s the year 2026, and so if you’re going to be making a movie discussing the uncomfortable subject of sexual assault and rape, you better come equipped with something that viewers haven’t seen before. Unfortunately, Sorry, Baby…

I will likely be forever pissed off at Martin for not completing the Game of Thrones book series. In fairness, I believe there have been a lot of issues between him and whatever publisher/people/company that he deals with, and I don’t know the full story, but suffice it to say, I, along with many thousands…

The Engine House by Rhys Dylan is a good start to a series that consists of 20 books. It was offered via Prime Reading, and I think that was a good idea, as I likely would not have picked it up otherwise. I was surprised at how drawn in I was to the mystery and…

This animated movie had potential but inevitably turned into something just mediocre at best. I was attracted by the trailer due to the dark theme of revenge along with the medieval 2D and CGI imagery. If there’s one constant and reusable theme Japanese anime and movies like to discuss and ask, it is life. What…

Here in the fourth book of the series, I find myself continuing to enjoy the Matthew Shardlake series. With Revelation, author CJ Sansom has crafted another historical fiction mystery novel that kept me reading nonstop. And yes, there was a lot of reading to be done, with the book clocking in at almost 600 pages.…
