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.…

Back during my prime days of working in the IT industry, if I was offered the chance to sever my work self from my personal self, I would have said HELL FRIGGING YES. Bring it on. I don’t have a deceased wife or girlfriend. I don’t have kids I want to get away from. I…

This one had serious potential. The premise of watching the bodycam footage of two cops accidentally killing a man and a baby during a distress call only to find weird cult-like shit happening afterward can definitely work. I’m 100% confident that Bodycam will undoubtedly draw comparisons to episodes in the popular V/H/S horror franchise. Other…

I mean, WTF is this shit. 💩 💩 Quite possibly one of the worst movies I’ve watched so far for 2026. Like, I mean an absolute stinker and complete time waster. It felt like this movie completely missed the window during the zombie craze era. It wouldn’t have altered the fact that the movie is…

Books like All the Shah’s Men by Stephen Kinzer are considered essential reads at the beginning of 2026. With the United States having attacked Iran, it is especially important to have some understanding of the history between these two countries and how that relationship has soured since the 1980s and earlier. To my surprise, All…

Touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it, turn it, leave it, start-format it. Those are the great and catchy words of Busta Rhyme’s song, Touch it. However, it was one of the first weird things that came into my mind as I saw the movie poster for Whistle. It wasn’t that long ago I…

I love Jodie Foster, but this was a fairly mediocre psychological detective-type movie. I was impressed that she speaks fluent French throughout the movie. But once the credits rolled, it’s another one of those movies where I’m not exactly sure how to take it. At times, it gives us hints that the story of Lillian…
