Ok, I know I’ve read Mostly Harmless before, but I must admit I recalled absolutely nothing reading it the second time around. I don’t know if it’s a good thing, or a bad thing, but[…]

Marvel’s Jessica Jones, season 3
So I decided to backtrack a little and watch the final season of Marvel’s Jessica Jones before moving on to my N’s. Since it was over I thought, why not get it over with instead[…]
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: The Trilogy of Four by Douglas Adams
More than sixteen years have passed since I first read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and I would say that’s a pretty good timeframe for picking up a book for a second go round.[…]
Early Riser by Jasper Fforde
Picture this: climate change is real, and humanity is forever affected by it. But instead of retreating ice caps, the reverse is reality – winters are deep, dark and dangerous, with temperatures plummeting to -40C[…]
Manuscript Found in a Milkbottle by Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman may consider this to be one of the worst stories he’s ever written, but I admit I quite enjoyed the little story that is Manuscript Found in a Milkbottle. James Pond uncovers something[…]
Galápagos by Kurt Vonnegut
Sometimes I wonder if science fiction writers really can see into the future. And by the future I don’t necessarily mean the technological side of things. Flying cars aren’t exactly commonplace after all. But Kurt[…]
Men in Black: International (2019)
What is Men in Black: International without Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones? Not too shabby, to my surprise. Maybe it helps that we have a little eye candy in the form of Chris Hemsworth,[…]
William Shakespeare’s The Force Doth Awaken Star Wars part the Seventh by Ian Doescher
I gotta say, Ian Doescher’s William Shakespeare’s Star Wars series gets better and better with each new publication and The Force Doth Awaken is a great example of how Doescher has used each book as[…]
Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said by Philip K Dick
There’s something fun about reading classic sci-fi, and by classic I mean anything written before the era of the Internet or wi-fi or smartphones or digital this and that. Published in 1974 and set in[…]
Ghastly Beyond Belief by Neil Gaiman & Kim Newman
So one would expect that a collection of science fiction quotes from books and movies would yield a few precious gems for my quote book. But, apparently, it did not. Ghastly Beyond Belief is a[…]
Marvel’s Agent Carter, season 1-2
I was wondering if I would enjoy a Marvel’s live action series that took place in the 1940s, which is roughly when Marvel Comics actually came into being. And you know what? I actually did.[…]
Marvel’s The Defenders (season 1)
It’s kinda sad that there was only one coming together series of the four NYC Marvel’s heroes in the form of The Defenders. I really enjoyed watching the discovery of and interaction between the four[…]
Marvel’s Luke Cage, season 1-2
Gosh it took me forever to finish Marvel’s Luke Cage. At least, it certainly felt like it took forever. Admittedly, the series moves a lot slower to its other live-action counterparts, but it certainly has[…]
The Familiar volume 2: Into the Forest by Mark Z Danielewski
The Familiar volume 2: Into the Forest pretty much continues where volume 1 left off, with Xander rescuing the kitten and me not quite remembering where the rest of the story was heading. The same[…]
Stardust (2007)
This was my second time watching Stardust – the first being on the big screen when it first came out – and I must admit I enjoyed it a lot better the second time around.[…]
Marvel’s Jessica Jones, season 1-2
Marvel’s Jessica Jones has a distinct detective film noir vibe taking place in the modern world. From the music to the narration, the way the scenes are filmed, and even Jessica’s alcoholism, pays tribute to[…]
Marvel’s Iron Fist, season 1-2
Well that’s the end of yet another Marvel’s series cancelled involving, well, everyone involved in The Defenders. I mean, I was so sure Daredevil was coming back having completed it so recently. The speculation is[…]
Marvel’s Daredevil, season 1-3
It was interesting watching Marvel’s Daredevil so soon after Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Both series are very different animals, even if they occupy the same Marvel-verse. They don’t overlap, so far as I can tell, and[…]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., season 2-5
It’s been a long while since I last watched Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and damn if it doesn’t slam you straight into the thick of it. Truth be told I was wondering why I bothered[…]
Ant-Man (2015)
I admit, the main reason I wanted to watch Ant-Men wasn’t because of the whole Avengers arc. It was Paul Rudd, who is still fly and has managed to remain such a hottie ever since[…]
Deadpool 2 (2018)
You really can’t fault Deadpool 2 for taking the mickey out of movies while being wholeheartedly in it. And, well, he kinda gets his wish doesn’t he? Still pretty funny in that Deadpool kinda way.[…]
