I went into Paranormal Activity a bit grumpy. I’ll admit, it was just one of those nights. I had a bad attitude and merely looking to pass the time, although I had been wanting to watch Paranormal Activity for some time. I usually don’t watch movies in the theaters, and it was the same with… [Read more…]

I’m not old enough to have watched the originals. Not even close. I enjoyed the reruns, though. The Sci-Fi channel always did a good job of running marathons, and I’d record dozens, and spend countless hours in utter bliss. I’ve long since abandoned TV (yup, haven’t watched in nearly a year), but I do miss… [Read more…]

I have been married for three years now. All in all, it’s been a good marriage. I must confess, though, I have not been completely faithful. I have this crazy relationship with Legends in Time. I have been married to the series for what seems like forever. It is truly a love/hate relationship, and I… [Read more…]

Chill was a low budget, Saturday afternoon, bored out of my mind type of movie. No need to watch this in the dark, ladies and gentlemen . . . it just isn’t scary. I can handle bad acting. A low budget does not bring in top actors. That’s fine. All in all, the actors did… [Read more…]

Simon says: Were the producers attempting a comedy, or a horror film? Simon says: This was a bad movie. Five college students head into the woods. Okay, been done a million times, but I’ll bite. Not for long, though, because it goes downhill soon after. The ‘bad-guy’ is none other than Marty McFly’s father in… [Read more…]

When I stop and think about it, I have been writing for nearly two decades. Off and on, of course—I was not as serious as I am now about the craft. Little did I know these past twenty years have been a preparation—practice for what I am doing now. And I look back at my… [Read more…]

My publisher confirmed with Jordan and I today that we will indeed release Plight of the Warrior before the end of next year. Although we have not confirmed a date, it is definite we will release it before Christmas. We hoped to have it released it earlier, and book four to follow soon after. It… [Read more…]

This movie was one of the best I’ve seen all year. The plot was great. Mankind is on the verge of destruction—I believe the movie referred to nukes going off. With limited time, scientists set up an underground city, Ember, and insert a chosen group of people to live while the rest of the planet… [Read more…]

This is the second time I’ve done it. I went to the video store ten minutes before closing time. I quickly found the movie my wife wanted. Then, I haphazardly picked up Cold Prey. It looked good. The cover and synopsis sold me. And once again, ladies and gentlemen . . . another FOREIGN film.… [Read more…]

Last week I rented Chrysalis. My writing was done for the day, and my wife was uninterested in watching a movie. No bartering. No debating. The movie choice was all mine— Perfect! So, after careful browsing—(or so I believed)—I rented Chrysalis for a simple reason: Science Fiction. (Very mild sci-fi, though, which was disappointing). You… [Read more…]
