Terminator: Dark Fate November 13, 2019
Hey! I finally got back out and saw a movie! Nothing screams “I am not a real movie reviewer” quite like me not seeing movies. But some of you seem to like knowing what I think about the latest cinematic releases, and I’ve been letting you down. There just hasn’t been time. There wasn’t time […]
Discovery CONTACT: See Myke & Friends Hunt Aliens August 30, 2019
My friend Myke Cole is on TV again, this time on the Discovery Channel’s CONTACT, in which he, Mike Livingston, Sarah Cruddas, Nick Karnaze, Kawa Mawlayee, and Paul Beban, go hunting for answers to the question “have extraterrestrials made contact with humankind?” This show is a LOT of fun. I did some fan art after episode […]
Ready or Not August 21, 2019

The Angry Birds Movie 2 August 16, 2019
You may recall my surprise when I loved The Angry Birds Movie, and enjoyed it more than I enjoyed Captain America: Civil War. That’s a pretty high bar to clear, especially for a sequel, but The Angry Birds Movie 2 takes a really good run at it, and, at least in places, out-performs the first film […]
Hobbs & Shaw August 8, 2019
The F³ (Fast and Furious Franchise) is now the FFCU (Fast and Furious Cinematic Universe) and I’m just fine with that. Hobbs & Shaw crosses my Threshold of Awesome, and if you can accept that it’s just a sans-a-cape superhero film, I suspect you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. My Suspenders of Disbelief […]
