One of my favorite things to do at the end of each year is reflect on my favorite art from that year. Sometimes, it's specifically new projects, things that came out in 2025, such as movies. Other times, it's things that are new to me, and that's my books category. So a little bit of … Continue reading 2025 Recap: Books, Movies, And More

Movie Review: Knives Out 3
One of my favorite new series started back in 2019 with Knives Out, a hugely popular release on Netflix. The second one, Glass Onion, came in 2022 with overall positive reviews, though it was different from the first in a lot of ways. With the third installment, Wake Up Dead Man, Rian Johnson has done … Continue reading Movie Review: Knives Out 3
Conjuring 4: Movie Review
Well, it has been a year for horror movies. First, Sinners? Follow that up with Weapons? What an incredible run, and it's not even October yet! (Yes, I reviewed both of those. Yes, you should click the links and check out my thoughts.) But for the average horror-movie fan, no brand hits as hard as … Continue reading Conjuring 4: Movie Review
Movie Review: Weapons
By this point, everyone has heard the incredible backstory of this movie: the bidding war for the rights to produce/direct it; Jordan Peele losing out and immediately firing his representatives; the possible symbolism behind the title Weapons, about a class of elementary kids that go missing. Without a doubt, this movie has been heavily hyped … Continue reading Movie Review: Weapons
Movie Review: Frank & Penelope
There have been plenty of movies that I reviewed on this website which felt like a waste of time to watch. And sometimes, those are the most fun to review! But it's nice, every so often, to include one I'm absolutely stoked about. Especially when it's a surprisingly good movie like It's What's Inside, the … Continue reading Movie Review: Frank & Penelope
Movie Review: Fear Street (Prom Queen)
If you were caught up in the Fear Street craze of 2021, you likely remember where and when you watched those movies. They’re all over the place quality-wise, but I remember the exact place I watched them: With my lovely wife, on a vacation to Brown County, Indiana, and we stayed in our favorite cabin … Continue reading Movie Review: Fear Street (Prom Queen)
Movie Review: Sinners
I finally got a chance to watch the hottest horror movie of the year (and I mean that in multiple ways.) It's been a while since an original horror movie really took over theaters, so I absolutely couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this movie. (Vampiric pun intended.) I didn't know exactly what to … Continue reading Movie Review: Sinners
A Chaotic, Let-Down Launch Week
When The Band came out last week on April 4, I was so excited! I was and still am very proud of this book. The story, the cover (thanks to Aspire Book Covers), the illustrations (thanks to my incredible wife Juliana; see one of them above!) and I couldn’t wait to share it with everyone. … Continue reading A Chaotic, Let-Down Launch Week
Best Movies of 2024
It's that time of year again! A time to reflect on the last 12 months and (my personal favorite) make lots of lists that people will skim through. See? You're already skimming! Last year (2023) was one of the most enjoyable movie-years I've ever had. Last December, I reviewed a bunch of 2023 films and … Continue reading Best Movies of 2024
Movie Review: Pearl
Last week, I reviewed the first movie in this trilogy, called X. This week, I'm looking at the prequel Pearl, which gives us the origin story for one of the villains in X. Both the original villain and the main character in this movie--same character, just younger--are played by Mia Goth who really carries this … Continue reading Movie Review: Pearl
