Why blend in when you can stand out?
Last Tuesday night, as I sat back in the recliner with my paleo freezer dinner, I shuffled through the endless options on Netflix. Suddenly, a short movie displayed on the screen that I'd heard about but still wasn't sure if I cared enough to watch. That movie was Fyre Fraud. Of course I've heard of [...]
I'm going to be playing catch up this week because for the better part of last week I was sick and couldn't bring myself to open my laptop. Lucky for us, the world of consumerism never rests, and there are always plenty of things catching my eye. Without further ado, let me go over those [...]
As a follow-up to the film's Best Drama and Best Actor in a Drama Golden Globe wins and a prelude to the Oscars for which it has been nominated for Best Film, I felt it was time to finally review Bohemian Rhapsody. I never had much exposure to Queen when I was growing up, but [...]

In Annihilation, the first of the trilogy, a group of four women journey into a place called Area X, an expanding area surrounding the impact [...]
One of the many RPG series to have been birthed on the original Playstation then subsequently die with the demise of the Playstation 2 was Wild Arms. They were some of the many RPGs published by Sony back when the genre was in its heyday. The first game in the series had the unfortunate luck [...]
It's no secret that I love Black Mirror. Not every episode is a masterpiece like "San Junipero" of course, but most of them contain a certain dystopian cautionary tale that feels uncannily poignant upon first viewing.
