The following won't contain any huge spoilers, as in, nothing you won't have already guessed if you've seen the trailer or the first episode of any superhero-type of tv show ever. Still, if you get annoyed at any spoilers at all, just watch the show first. I watched the pilot of Supergirl and the entire … Continue reading My Commentary on Supergirl
Macbeth / Out and About
Even though it's technically Sunday, I will be writing as if it's still yesterday. Today, I have something to write about. I took no pictures, but I actually did something besides sit in the library and write (which feels like all I'm doing these days and unfortunately not much of that writing is for this … Continue reading Macbeth / Out and About
(#18) Weeklies
I completely forgot Weeklies even existed. The last time I did one was way back in June. Oops. Anyway, I spent the weekend job hunting so I didn't have any one thing to write a post about. Thus, I have revived Weeklies where I can talk about a bunch of little things in a post. … Continue reading (#18) Weeklies
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
I don’t know what I expected when I sat down in the movie theatre, but The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (Directed by Guy Ritchie) delivered something great. The film is set in the 1960s in the midst of the Cold War and follows a Russian and American spy with an amusing rivalry who are forced to … Continue reading The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
(#17) Weeklies
I've taken a short break from blogging, but not to worry. I'm back now! Book: I don't often recommend books that I haven't read myself, but I haven't been reading as much as I'd like so this recommendation comes from my dad. The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. According to my dad, it's really good. I got … Continue reading (#17) Weeklies
Everything Before Us
I've talked about Wong Fu Productions before in a Weeklies post. They have been doing short films and videos for longer than YouTube has existed. I first found their channel way back in 2008 and they have consistently delivered quality entertainment. Now they're moving on to bigger things: their first feature film. I liked it. Wong … Continue reading Everything Before Us
Mad Max: Fury Road
No Spoilers. Sort of. I don't think there are, anyway. Not what I would categorize as spoilers, at least. I've finally seen Mad Max: Fury Road. The film hit the ground running and sprinted towards the credits. There's barely a moment when you aren't holding onto something: your face, your chair, your stomach, your breath. This … Continue reading Mad Max: Fury Road
(#16) Weeklies
Okay, so these are quickly turning into Bi-Weeklies, but you know what? I really don't think anyone cares. I don't. Let's continue, shall we? Food: Salad. I often underestimate the deliciousness of salads, but I had a couple of good ones this past week, and have found a new appreciation for them. TV Show: Chuck. … Continue reading (#16) Weeklies
The Avengers: Age of Ultron
Spoiler Free! Well, that was a thrilling exit from the series by writer and director Joss Whedon. It was great. It even passed the Bechdel test (I think?) and had a decent amount of diversity (by Hollywood’s standards, so don’t get too hopeful). The plot was complicated for a movie so it took some effort … Continue reading The Avengers: Age of Ultron
Book Review: The Book Thief
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. No Spoilers. I've been meaning to read this book for years. I first picked it up in twelfth grade. I had been on a streak of Holocaust stories including The Diary of Anne Frank, Hanna's Briefcase, and Yellow Star. It blew my mind (and still does) at the scale of destruction … Continue reading Book Review: The Book Thief
