Ever since I’ve seen the first previews for The Adjustment Bureau, I thought it looked like my kind of movie–like some awesome hodgepodge of Dark City meets Inception meets The Bourne Identity. I expected nothing to be as it seemed with thrilling confusion, intricate plot twists, and a cataclysmic ending. What I got was something [...]

Confessions

I recently started reading Confessions of a Caffeinated Christian by John Fischer. It’s been sitting on my shelf for a long time but, for whatever reason, it was overlooked until a few nights ago. I’m now very sad it took so long for me to get started! This is a wonderful book, a little in [...]
Two Is Better Than One?

You’ve probably seen the new Wendy’s commercials; they’re pretty much unavoidable. One of the newest commercials for the Pick 2 features two (I assume) attractive girls eating their Wendy’s lunch in the staff break room, each so happy that she got two things for $5.99. When a guy joins them with his lunch, they are [...]
Dr. Acula

In my continuing quest to keep my brain from rotting, I moved to the next classic on my list: Dracula. My expectations were pretty high because I recently read a book called The Historian, which was supposed to have followed in the legacy of Dracula, and it was excellent. Unfortunately, I can’t really say the [...]
Breakfast at Tiffany’s

I saw Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the first time yesterday. I’m still not sure how I feel about it. It reminds me a little of The Great Gatsby in that, though none of the characters is really endearing, there’s still something about their plight that draws you into it. That and the whole “trying and [...]
The Picture of Dorian Gray

Recently, I decided my brain was rotting and, in the absence of being able to take classes, I should read higher literature than, say, Kathy Reichs and Redwall. Fortunately, Barnes & Noble was having a buy one get one sale on some of the classics. The first one I read was Oscar Wilde’s The Picture [...]
“You Belong With Me”

It seems as though all I’ve been blogging about recently is my personal life, which is more than a bit boring. I got to thinking about what I used to write about, and I remember many rants about the stupidity of pop songs. However, I rarely listen to pop songs nowadays, and the only one [...]
Pet Sematary
Posted in Reviews on August 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have been increasingly perplexed over the years with how people seem to equate Stephen King with Dean Koontz, but never more so than having finished King’s Pet Sematary. Koontz grabs you from the first sentence and doesn’t let go until the last page, and even when you’ve read enough of his books to guess [...]
Miserable Business

I’m the first to admit that sometimes, the entertainment I love most is not, by any objective standard, good. Especially with movies. For example, one of my favorite movies of all time is Labyrinth, the 80s-tastic fantasy musical featuring Jim Henson puppets and David Bowie in progressively tighter pants. Sometimes, I also like music that [...]
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

If you haven’t heard of Stephenie Meyer’s book, Twilight, and the movie that recently came out, the pending movies, etc., you’ve probably had absolutely no contact with any girl under the age of 15 for the past year and a half or so. It’s also taken over pretty much every facebook application (flair, bumper sticker, [...]
