An Ambitious Fallout: Organizing Words

By Adam Lawson on Thursday, January 5, 2023

As previously mentioned, I wrote a million words of fiction last year. This came with some unenviable fall-out, as did previous versions of the challenge (both failed). Now I have a ton of words, spread across three different year directories, plus the stuff I wrote before I was crazy enough to try this; we’re talking …

An Ambitious Goal

By Adam Lawson on Friday, December 16, 2022

I want to talk about a personal goal I had this year, the year I had, and those of you who were a part of the journey even if you didn’t quite realize it. You’ll have to bear with me — I’m sober as a judge but I tend to ramble. I’ve said a few …

Book Reviews: Rules of the Road

By Adam Lawson on Thursday, July 16, 2020

Time for something completely different. A long time and three blogs ago, I did book reviews. It’s about time to get back to that. As with the movie reviews, for the most part I’m going to keep them short, and I’ll drag along a modified version of the report card. I haven’t decided exactly what …

Movie Review: Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)

By Adam Lawson on Thursday, July 16, 2020

Don’t make me use my stuff on ya Two years ago today was my first movie review, so I have to come out of retirement for one more. Not only is Elvis not dead, he’s dying in an East Texas retirement community and being portrayed by Bruce Campbell. A crappy retirement home, at that, and …

Movie Review: Casablanca (1942)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, July 13, 2020

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world… Today is the final Movie Monday review, at least regularly scheduled, so I thought it fitting to end it with my favorite movie of all time: Casablanca. I don’t even know what a close second is, and as an adult I’ve seen …

Movie Review: Evil Dead (1981)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, July 6, 2020

Continuing from last week, which was one of my favorite horror movies, we come to the movie that started an epic trilogy, spawned a remake and a TV series, and apparently has more life in it yet: The first Evil Dead movie, from 1981. Ash and four of his friends, who are mostly annoying, are …

Movie Review: Slither (2006)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 29, 2020

This is it, this is the last regularly scheduled movie review. I’ve done this for almost two years, every week — even if I forgot until almost midnight, I ended up with at least a report card. So I decided to go out with a bang, as it were, by looking at a different sort …

Movie Review: Black Death (2010)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 22, 2020

This movie, set in medieval times, is not a typical outbreak style horror movie. But I gave it a watch to shuffle things up, to see if anything stood out, and also, just because Sean Bean is pretty entertaining. This movie also sports a hell of a cast: Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Tim McInnerny (Game …

Movie Review: The Last Man On Earth (1964)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 15, 2020

I didn’t realize, before I started watching this, that it was also a movie version of I Am Legend. I just saw a movie about a virus and Vincent Price and signed on to watch it. After several just atrocious movies in this pandemic themed series of movies (to the extent I’m ready to give …

Movie Review: Pandemic (2016)

By Adam Lawson on Monday, June 8, 2020

Another one. I might have to stop watching movies in this genre before the end of June. I didn’t know, going into this, that the movie was meant to be shot similar to an FPS game. I just assumed it was like a found footage thing. But as I watched it, I felt like I …
