Review: Black Swan
As a longtime fan of director Darren Aronofsky’s work, I was really looking forward to Black Swan. To this day I’m a firm believer that high school classes should be shown Requiem for a Dream when they have to sit through “drug awareness week” because that film is a real eye opener.

Robert E. Howard: A look at the Adaptions of the Father of Sword and Sorcery
Interesting fact about me: I’m a writer. I have one completed novel I’m trying to find an agent for, and I’m working on the second one as well. I’ve also collected a few short stories to release as an anthology on the Amazon Kindle called Wandering Djinn. And the one question that every writer will inevitably be asked is “Who are your influences?” A lot of write...[Read More]
The Walking Dead: Vatos Review
With a much stronger focus on the tension and horror of the situation our survivors find themselves in, this week’s episode is the polar opposite of last week’s in everything but quality. In that category, this episode might just surpass it.
