For my 2018 Resolution Project, I decided to take a page out of Lane’s book and do my own Silver Screen Resolution (hence the Take Two part of the title). There are a lot of movies out there I haven’t seen but feel like I should have, or movies that I’ve simply wanted to see […]

This year I resolved to read more classic science fiction and fantasy, hopefully making a dent in that stack of books I really should have read by now. Mostly because they should be good books, but also to be better informed about my genre and its history. I decided that this meant reading six science […]

Stranger Things is an entertaining walk back into the 1980s with a modern sensibility that allows representation through the gift of hindsight. The characters are richly developed, and the storyline delivers all the thrills and chills fantasy fans could ever want.

Christmas 2017 marked the end of Peter Capaldi’s Doctor Who, the 12th generation of the iconic Time Lord, in the special “Twice Upon a Time.” I watched “Twice Upon a Time” on Christmas (because I just couldn’t wait!), even though I had tickets to watch it in the theater during the limited showings nationwide on […]

New Orleans, where the city dances, voodoo permeates, and vampires and witches prowl the street, along with their mortal prey. New Orleans. I’ve never been. […]
