The Tommyknockers by Stephen KingMy rating: 3 of 5 starsThe Tommyknockers has moments of greatness, but suffers from the same problem as some of King's other works; it's just too damned long. There were parts of the story that had me rapt, engaged, and wanting to know what happens next, but then there were also … Continue reading The Tommyknockers – A Review in Brief

Thrawn: Treason by Timothy ZahnMy rating: 3 of 5 starsThe Thrawn series might have stumbled with its second book, but #3 fixes most of those mistakes and makes for an exciting entry. Eli Vanto is back and Anakin/Vader is relegated to mere mentions, which is a blessing, because I'm not sure I could read more … Continue reading Review in Brief – Thrawn: Treason (Book 3)
Cannery Row by John SteinbeckMy rating: 4 of 5 starsCannery row is less of a story and more of a description of a place in time. Steinbeck describes a coastal town with incredible detail using a constantly shifting perspective, examining the town through the eyes of a given person or place. It takes a few … Continue reading Cannery Row – A Review in Brief
Secondhand Souls by Christopher MooreMy rating: 3 of 5 starsA Dirty Job is one of my favorite books I've read in recent memory, meaning the bar for Secondhand Souls was impossibly high for the jump. The story picks up right where A Dirty Job left off, and is at its most interesting in the first … Continue reading Review in Brief – Secondhand Souls – Christopher Moore
Here we are, at the end of the Skywalker Saga, almost ready for Episode 9. It’s been a long process with good movies, bad movies, and some that floundered in between. Today, I’m taking another look at Episode 8 – The Last Jedi, arguably the most controversial film in the Star Wars series. Critics lavished … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – Episode 8
Ten years passed between the release of Revenge of the Sith and The Force Awakens. Walking into the theater, the anticipation for the film was palpable, and I don’t think I’ve ever been in a more nervous/excited crowd for a film. Where the prequels stumbled and blundered their way through a wonderful universe, Force Awakens … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – The Force Awakens
Finally, after making my way through the ‘extended flashback’ that was the prequels, it’s back to the mainline trilogy. As a quick check-in, that means I have three films left to review in the fourteen days until Episode 9 releases. I’ll do my best to get a review for Episode 7 soon and Solo/8 following … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – Return of the Jedi
The light at the end of the tunnel is near as I have reached the end of the much-maligned prequel trilogy. Coming hot off the heels of Attack of the Clones which was a wholly painful experience, Revenge of the Sith felt like a breath of fresh air. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t touch … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – Revenge of the Sith
Hello and welcome back to my re-review series for the wonderful Star Wars Skywalker Saga, and a few spin-off movies along the way. So far, I’ve reviewed Rogue One (3.5/5), A New Hope (4.5/5) , The Empire Strikes Back(5/5) and The Phantom Menace(2/5) which unfortunately means it’s time for… Attack of the God Damned Clones. I’ll be … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – Attack of the Clones
