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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
