The Witch Review
As most of my friends can probably tell you, horror is one of my favorite genres (second only to dark comedy, if I’m being honest.) But, like any real horror fan, I have been disappointed with where the genre has gone in the last decade or so. Horror has moved away from scaring you with ambiance and themes to being all about gore and straight up torture porn. But in the last few years we have seen a couple of real horror gems that remind me of the classics that I fell in love with as a kid. And The Witch is definitely one of those gems. The Postmortal Review
Drew Magary's The
Postmortal is one of the many books that I added to my list as soon as I
read the blurb. You know, the little paragraph on the Amazon page that tells
you about the story and gets you interested? Well this one pulled me in right
away. I'll try to touch upon some of the major points without giving too much
away.
Elysium Review
Four years ago in 2009, Neil Blomkamp took the science fiction world by storm with a little diddy called District 9. That movie did everything right with excellent direction, great acting, and perfect world building. So, you can imagine how excited everyone was when Blomkamp announced his next endeavour, Elysium, would be another heavy science fiction film. We all waited with baited breath to see if this movie would live up to Blomkamp’s first feature film, and now it’s finally here. The Casual Vacancy Review
So I finally finished reading J.K. Rowling’s first non-Harry Potter book: The Casual Vacancy, which shows us just what Jo is capable of. This political comedy-drama is miles away from everybody’s favorite boy wizard, but I enjoyed reading it nonetheless. So is it worth adding The Casual Vacancy to your summer reading list?
Sea of Monsters Review
The sequel to 2010’s Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief was a long time coming. The Sea of Monsters is an action-packed adventure that is fun for the whole family, that is, if your entire family is twelve years old. Yeah, it’s a kids movie, like the first one was, but it’s still fun to see the characters return to the big screen, along with a few new additions. Read on to find out more about the movie while I break it down.
