  • A Review: Sonic (2020)

    Yesterday, I continued my one-week tradition of enjoying a $5 movie. Again, thought about seeing The Photograph and again went naahhhh.. I’d rather watch a CG animated hedgehog from a game that was never really good at. If 1917 was available, I think I would watch that but it’s long blown by.   Oh, wells. What Read more

  • Yes.   Yes. I did finally take myself to the Cobb for a $5 movie Tuesday. We all know that this decision took about two months because I’m exceedingly paranoid about money for various reasons. But, that doesn’t matter.   What does is that actually took me to a movie.  Collosial, in my world. Fantasy Island wasn’t Read more

  • I am fresh off watching an hour of ten-year-old Zero Punctuation and realized that I haven’t played any of those games.   None.  And that’s okay.    In a way, it’s kind of disappointing and weird since I’ve never played Half-Life or even Peggle, but still… okay.  Maybe I’m a gamer like a writer – in Read more

  • 1/8

    In my classes, I stress the importance of source verification. This goes way beyond “Did it come from Ebscohost?” Please.   After the vaccination scandal, who can believe what comes from ‘academic’ sources? … although I have to force myself to be a cheerleader for them. Even those who peer-review the peer review sources admit the Read more

  • Angels V. Ferrari

    Disclaimer: I haven’t watched Ford V Ferrari or Charlies Angles (2019) at this juncture. However, I’m going to give this analysis thing a stab.   Since I really know what’s on the surface, I’ll be able to just sally forth without, hopefully, getting too much off track.  Besides, second and third-hand knowledge seems to be perfect Read more

  • It’s been a while since I’ve written anything about movies and television, so here it goes. The Walking Dead is probably one of my all-time favorite soap-not-soap operas. Since it’s been around for nine seasons, I’m going to avoid the backstory as much as possible.  And, yes, I know it came out over a year Read more

  • You have walked 359% over your daily walking goal. Thank you Samsung Health.  My legs are still working, so let’s see if I can go for 400%. Didn’t quite make it, but got close. Sunday – Indy Indiana – Wizards Unite. The first anomaly of the new Harry Potter game that was introduced some…. three Read more

  • When I first heard of Mr. Epstein’s death, I didn’t believe it. If he was truly well connected to Gates, Clintons, Musk, and various foreign royalty, there is no way someone would kill him. The guy just knows too much. But, beyond that, he could possibly represent a wealth of information that would be exceedingly Read more

  • Yes, I did actually see this movie. I was by myself at the local AMC.   I caught the 2:30 showing and was in the right seat in the middle.   I couldn’t get the awesome middle seats because I got there a little late. The theater was about half full with a couple of fanboys behind Read more

  • Review: Bird Box

    Spoilers – Yep.   There will be some. I watched Bird Box while at the gym. The hour plus movie accompanied me while I was on the elliptical.  It made the time go by. So, the Bird Box is a Netflix exclusive movie based on the book by Josh Malerman.  I’ve never heard of this guy Read more
