Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Present Day The newly caught Shinx bounced happily at its trainer’s left side. Occasionally Bree would float down to it and let out a sharp chirp, and the Shinx would reply by rearing up on its stubby hindlegs and swatting up at the Butterfree. Bree was too quick, however, and would always flap herself just out of reach. The Shinx would let out … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 6

Predator: Killer Of Killers Review

I never saw my first Predator movie until after the COVID-19 pandemic started. When I found myself with more time at home during that worldwide crisis, I decided to start plowing through movies I had never seen before (and that’s a hobby for me that has continued ever since). Early on in that rush, I watched the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic, Predator. I really … Continue reading Predator: Killer Of Killers Review

Alien: Romulus Review

I am, admittedly, not the world’s biggest Alien franchise expert. I have seen about half of the movies released across the entire breadth of the Alien universe. I have, of course, seen Alien and Aliens. I mean: everyone should have seen those classics, right? From there, I’ve also seen the first Alien Vs Predator movie and Alien: Prometheus. And that’s it; that’s all I have. … Continue reading Alien: Romulus Review

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Present Day Sam felt less secure in Rowan’s laboratory than he previously had in the lobby. The lab had no windows, only lifeless fluorescent bulbs above him. One, which was not quite in the center of the ceiling but a few feet to the right, flickered continuously since Sam and the professor entered. Amidst all the other lights that glowed flawlessly, this one … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 5

Captain America: Brave New World Review

After something of a one offering drought in 2024, 2025 has come along and is offering us a smorgasbord of Marvel Cinematic Universe releases in theater. We have already had Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*, and Fantastic Four: First Steps is becoming more imminent with each passing day. With Brave New World now available to watch at home on Disney Plus, let’s take … Continue reading Captain America: Brave New World Review

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 4

Chapter 4: 10 Years Ago The sidewalk to Sam’s house had never seemed so long before. Heck, the day itself had never seemed so long! Even on the days where he had back-to-back-to-back exams, none were as long as this day had been. It had been exactly four class periods, twenty-eight minutes into a fifth, and a bus ride home since he had gotten the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 4

Ranking The Franchise: Child’s Play/Chucky

Having recently ranked the Mission: Impossible franchise after it [allegedly] wrapped up with The Final Reckoning, I got to thinking about what other franchises I could do a ranking of. In addition to Tom Cruise’s nearly 30 year action journey, I had previously done the Halloween, Friday The 13th, and Nightmare On Elm Street series from bottom to top. Which is little surprise, as horror … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Child’s Play/Chucky

Ranking The Franchise – Mission: Impossible

Well, Tom Cruise’s franchise opus is finally–allegedly–over. With the release of Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning, a franchise that was almost thirty years old has come to a conclusion. Tom Cruise has put life and limb on the line with ridiculously unnecessary stunt after ridiculously unnecessary stunt to get our butts into the cinema, and it’s time for him to move on to his next … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise – Mission: Impossible

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Present Day Sam sat in the lobby of Professor Rowan’s laboratory thumbing through the magazine selection on the small desk next to his seat. Newsweek, Linoone Fancy, National Geographic, World Pokemon League Illustrated, and Ponyta Dressage Today; nothing that really seemed to catch his eye. Sam thought this odd because he usually enjoyed Newsweek, at least, but his heart just didn’t seem to … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 3

Pop-Tart Quest: Lemon Blueberry Crumble

It has been A WHILE since Pop-Tarts released a new flavor, but don’t worry: every time I go to a store, I scour the shelves to make sure I haven’t missed any. They have just been resting on their laurels flavors-wise while they prepare more fun antics for the Pop-Tarts Bowl Game every January. Which, incidentally, is a fine usage of their time. I love … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Lemon Blueberry Crumble
