Howard Reviews

Ant Man and The Wasp July 8, 2018
Ant Man and The Wasp is set just prior to the events of Avengers: Infinity War¹, which allows it to revel in the same comedy/adventure realm as Ant Man and Thor: Ragnarok. It excelled at said revelry. My own favorite moment, which I shall not spoil, was when Luis (Michael Peña) gave someone his trademark high-speed […]
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom June 25, 2018
This morning, as I’m preparing to buy tickets: Me: “Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom?” 15yo: “Ugh” Me: “Ugh?” 15yo: “Why does that movie even exist?” Me: “People running from dinosaurs!” 15yo: “We’ve seen that.” Me: “In a glass ball!” 15yo: “That too.” Me: “And they get saved by a dino that eats another dino.” 15yo: “That […]

Cheap Sins, Fresh Wrath May 14, 2018
Sins of Empire, by Brian McClellan, is on sale for $2.99, likely as part of a dastardly ploy to lure readers of fine flintlock fantasy into the acquisition of Wrath of Empire when it releases on Tuesday, May 15th¹. The plot is all the more sinister given the likelihood that its victims won’t complain a bit. I’ve […]
