Ready Or Not: Here I Come March 23, 2026

 All I remember about the original Ready Or Not Movie was the bullet points, about a young woman marrying into a family that is a Satanic cult. I did not remember anything leading up to the cult having the power to control the world, or the protagonist having an estranged sister. Even so, the movie was entertaining enough, showing the two sisters reconcile as they fought to survive, similar to how in my latest book, Jack Stamper has to reconcile with his mother and contend with a younger brother he does not get along with who is under his command in The Fourth Covert Militia. I easily bought the rift between Sarah Michelle Geller, and her twin brother and Elijah Wood did a good performance as the lawyer who might be Satan, and I have to praise him after all, because he played the protagonist in my favorite movie of all time.  If you are interested in my books, which center on young adults in a secret militia waging guerilla warfare and espionage against an axis of evil across ...

Undertone March 16, 2026

 The movie Undertone had a creative enough premise but was overall boring until the last ten minutes. It told the story of how a podcaster, who talked about the dark origin behind children's songs and nursery rhymes, and a supernatural entity was in her house. Her mother was also dying and was somehow connected to it, but in the end nothing really happened. When I left the theater people were talking about how confusing it was.  There were some interesting things in it though, such as when they talked about the dark origin of kid's songs and nursery rhymes. I study literature and poetry to get ideas for books, and in those books The Covert Militia will face the same kind of evil. If you are interested in them, click on the link.  Smashwords.com

 As a monster movie fan, I had to see The Bride, and it had its moments.

How To Make A Killing February 23, 2026

How To Make A Killing was a good dark comedy thriller, telling the story of how Glen Powell was a man born to a wealthy family whose mother was exiled tries to prosper. The family that exiled him and his mother was not a loving family and were greedy, inhuman, jerks who saw destitute people as exposition. There was only one relative who was kind to him, and as the movie progressed it was clear revenge was leaving his mind, but things happened that amplified his desire for their inheritance.  One other thing I need to say is there was a scene when Powell's youngest cousin was singing karaoke to Papa Roach's "Last Resort" and whenever I hear that song I always feel like I'm going to see Lord of the Rings for the first time, because it came on my car radio each time I was on my way to the theater. I mention that because Tolkien's legendarium was my main inspiration, and if you are interested in my books and the work of many other independent authors, click on the...

Crime 101 February 16, 2026

 Despite very little action scenes, Crime 101 was entertaining because it was more about solving crimes than fighting them. Many things will keep you guessing if you ever rewatch. Parts of it involved sticking up to your employer in a job that doesn't get you anywhere, and also atonement, the way Chris Hemsworth's character gave up robbing criminals, and used what he took to support the people that helped him.  If you are interested in books that you believe would make good movies, and supporting independent authors, click on the link, where you can find my books and the work of many independent writers.  Smashwords.com

Send Help February 9, 2026

Many movies are about empowerment, and Send Help is one of them. They resonate with people because they relate to the characters in them. In some way I relate to Rachel McAdams character, who worked hard to attain the vice president position at her office, only to be turned down in favor of her new boss's best friend. Being stranded on what they thought was a deserted island gave her the chance to give him what he deserved because every time it looked like he was cooperating with her, it was a facade. Some people might pick up on the surprise twist ending, but I will not mention it.    If you would like to help writers trying to get their careers started, click on the link to find my books and the work of many authors looking for readers interested in their work.

Shelter February 2, 2026

 Sometimes, putting the right actor in a movie without much depth, just works. Jason Statham is one of those actors where it is just fun to see him kick ass, and the new movie Shelter, that's just what he does. It particularly works, when it has something to keep you rooting for him, and this case it was the young girl he was protecting, that helped him see the value in not living a reclusive life. It was also clear that Statham's character regretted a lot of the things he did when he worked for the organization he did before faking his death, and in protecting that girl, he atoned for his crimes.  I am close to finishing a novel, though third in The Covert Militia Campaigns, it has a heavy theme of atonement.
