Netflix has released the first trailer for its adaptation of Death Note and I gotta say that I am pumped. I’m fine with any changes they make, as long as it works in the context of the movie and makes the movie stronger. I always felt like the anime and manga…

As lame as this sounds, there’s simply not enough positive things that can be said about this book. So instead, I’ll give a few warnings. This book is a slow burner. You’ll be nearly a hundred pages in before you really have an inkling as to what the plot is…

I mean, it’s not good. It’s not terrible, but it’s not good. Emma Watson really isn’t a strong singer. She’s trying, but she just doesn’t have the voice to pull off the role. Maybe watching her is better (I doubt it – I’ve never found her acting to be terribly…

Today is a day I’ve waited for since the release of the first Welcome to Night Vale novel back in October of 2015. The second Night Vale novel has been announced! And it sounds incredible. From the authors of the New York Times bestselling novel Welcome to Night Vale and the creators of the #1…

Oh, Logan, how wonderful you were. And how bittersweet you were. This is easily Hugh Jackman’s best X-Men movie. That’s not to say that it’s the best movie of the X-Men franchise, though it is up there for sure. It is, however, the best movie to feature Wolverine to date. Logan tells the…

What can I say about 1984 that hasn’t already been said? Nothing much, really. It certainly deserves its status as a literary classic.
