Writing Relevance
I've never been shy about my inner Geek. Well, I can't really call it my "inner" Geek, can I? I've posted about playing Star Trek Online with my kid (we're watching Voyager now, by the way) and I've talked about nearly every comic-based movie I've gone to see in recent years. So ... the cat's … Continue reading X-Men Days of Future Past – Review
A friend of mine uses a Wiki to keep all her files straight while she's writing a book. I've seen software designed to help maintain little "sticky-notes" to help authors as they're in the middle of creating their fiction. Both would fall under what I define as a "story bible". Basically, that's the spot the … Continue reading Story Bibles (aka – Consistency, People!)
That's right. This science fiction geek totally went to see Star Trek this weekend. I'll admit that I sorta knew what was coming because I follow Tor.com and they had some reviews up there (they said not to read the bottom comments due to spoilers, but I read them anyway because ... yeah ... I … Continue reading Star Trek Into Darkness Review
All right! So we all know I'm a comic geek and it shouldn't be a surprise that I totally dragged my son to go see Iron Man 3 today. I have adored Robert Downy Jr. as Iron Man and he did not disappoint in this third installment of the franchise. In fact, his portrayal of … Continue reading Iron Man 3 – Review
This was another one of those movies that I really wanted to see but had to wait because it didn't seem appropriate for my five year old. (I do try to be a good parent.) So when I spotted it in the store this week I nabbed it, fully expecting to enjoy it because ... … Continue reading Red Dawn — Review (Yes, I mean the new one)
So I'm sick this weekend, which is good timing since school starts on Monday so if I'm going to be sick, it might as well be now. I'm hoping to be 90% better and climbing by Sunday night. But that means I get to do lazy-fun things like watch movies. I bought Sherlock Holmes … Continue reading A Discussion on Sherlock Holmes …
My mother drove two hours up to my city so that we could go see The Hobbit yesterday. We planned it for right after my first final -- which was an oral exam that was quite terrifying, if I must be honest. I was a little torn about The Hobbit since I didn't like the … Continue reading The Hobbit Movie Review
Fridays are normally my homework days while I'm in school, but this week was my first week on my little summer break (it's only two weeks long before the Fall semester starts) and I decided I was going to treat myself to a movie. (A three dollar movie, but hey, it's the one I wanted … Continue reading Snow White and the Huntsman
I know that John Carter is the creation of Edgar Rice Burroughs, but I haven't actually read the books. I spotted them, but never picked them up. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing yet. Because I loved the movie. Normally, I hate the movie but love the book. (Like Timeline … Continue reading John Carter
It all started with my uncle. He loved comics. This love of comics spread from his children to my brother and, eventually, to me. My brother, however, was the big Spider-Man lover. He collected just about every offshoot of the bug-boy while we were growing up. Thus, I gleaned quite a bit of information just … Continue reading Spider-Man (aka – Beware my Geek Side)
