“You must want to survive more than the storm does. When you drive your hand into the heart of a storm, it in turn drives into you. It will search out every weakness, every insecurity. If you are afraid to die, it will know.” Reading a brief synopsis of Roar before I decided to invest…
You heard me: remake Harry Potter. It may seem like sacrilege to even suggest the idea—but, seriously, the movies are too short, too limited, too reliant on the readers being the viewers that they are not nearly as good as they could be. Actually, a Harry Potter movie would never cut it. We need multiple,…
While I do agree that book adaptations need to be accurate to their source material, the first episode of Good Omens is so accurate that I’m left with a dilemma having finished the book so recently: it’s the same thing again. Like, the same. Dialogue is often book accurate, to the word, as is the…
Good Omens: A Book Worthy Of Adaptation With the upcoming release of Good Omens, the show on Amazon Prime, I figured a review of the book that started it was in order. Though, if you’re a fan of Terry Pratchett or Neil Gaiman (as you should be) then you’ve already at least heard of this…
“We all just want to be people, and none of us know what that really means.” Borne is a novel about growth, understanding differences, and ultimately – human triumph. The novel begins with a woman, Rachel and her friend, Wick struggling to survive in the dystopian wastes from a multitude of enemies outside the safe…
Monster Hunter International is a very long book that earned a bit more of my ire than it perhaps deserved. As an avid reader and a professional writer, I can spot a self-insert character from a mile off and spot a power fantasy even easier. And while this book was written in 2007, perhaps before…
Now that Game of Thrones Season 8 is here, let’s take a look at a glimpse of what it takes to pull off these epic scenes. HBO has released several behind the scenes micro-docs that take us behind the scenes with the crew who bring it all together. We’ve rounded them up for you here….
In just a few short days, Game of Thrones Season 8, the final season, will begin. Since it’s been two years since we’ve seen Game of Thrones, we may not remember the details of the intricate story. So, as we wait with baited breath, here is a pretty complete recap compilation of what’s happened so…
Weird, kitschy and slightly out of time, the Umbrella Academy is Netflix’s new hit show based on the limited comic book series by the same name. I just binged watched it this weekend, (thank you Netflix for not making us wait months to see an entire series!), and it was great. Here’s a quick rundown…
American Gods Is Intensely Unflinching American Gods is not a show for children. I realize in the modern day, most would not bat an eye at the idea of a teenager watching an M-rated show, but I have to say this for any adults, any parents, any kids who are interested in American Gods: it’s…
Weapon of a Jedi The Force Awakens movie was a Star Wars Renaissance. An explosion of stories, media, video games and more have rushed in to fill the thirty year gap between Episode VI and VII, and the Disney engine shows no sign of stopping. In the coming years we can expect to see fan…
Superman Vs. Predator In the comic book world, Marvel and DC Comics are kings. But sometimes it’s easy to forget the companies standing in their shadows. The Dark Horse company has made its bones by giving titles to the lesser-known heroes in television and movies: Robocop, James Bond, the Predators; you name the hero, Dark…
