Lost, Season 2
The funny thing about “Lost” is that, while the show came heavily recommended from those who’re still following it, they always followed up with an addendum: “Keep in mind though that you’ll have to slog it through the second season”.
There seems to be a peculiar, yet near-universal agreement that the follow-up the first season of [...]
Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I wasn’t too sure about this one. I hoped it’d be good, or at least fun in the same, nostalgic way that the original movies are. But then I thought of George Lucas and the Star Wars prequels… And then I proceeded to dreadfully anticipate seeing Indy twenty years older… Then I took a gander [...]
Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade
This was the last film in what many believed would remain a trilogy but that’s now become a tetralogy, with a possible fifth film somewhere down the line. However, this review right here is about “The Last Crusade”, and why it’s better than “Raiders of the Lost Ark”.
This film starts off with an interesting flashback [...]
“Life is like a box of chocolates…”
“… you never know what you’re gonna get”.
- Forrest Gump
The day started off with the sweetest candy a fantasy freak like me could get. I received an ARC of “Return of the Crimson Guard” by Ian Cameron Esslemont from PS Publishing. Naturally, I was beyond thrilled and couldn’t wait to get home so that I [...]
Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom
“The Temple of Doom” is an interesting follow-up to the smash-hit “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. Superficially you could easily say that it’s just “more of the good stuff” – which it is – but if you bother to sit down and watch it more closely, then you’re bound to notice some big changes.
The movie [...]
Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Sorry for the infrequent updates around here lately. I haven’t really got a good excuse for it, other than the usual “life (or perhaps, the lack of it) got in the way”. Things should normalize soon enough, though. They can’t take all my free time away from me forever! But until that time arrives, I’m [...]
Band of Brothers
Let me just start out this review by saying that “Band of Brothers” is a fantastic miniseries. That is a fact that cannot be disputed by anyone, and if you’re looking for a more realistic portrayal of what WWII was for the American Airborne, then you’d better get to working on that time machine of [...]
The Rebellious Quote of the Day
“The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change [...]
Cover Art Galore
Thanks to Calibandar, who sometimes pops by this blog, for making me aware that Gollancz had put up the cover art for “Blood of Elves” by Andrzej Sapkowski. This is the second book in the series about “Geralt the Witcher”, and it’s due out in September. It’s been one of my most anticipated reads ever [...]
