“Happy Time Murders” had promise as a premise. Murder mystery, cop drama, puppets, raunchy humor, an R-rating – it looked to be a recipe for an interesting watch. And it was interesting. Some of the jokes did land, and I came out of the movie feeling like it wasn’t a waste of my time. ...
‘Pet Sematary’ is much more than a horror story

“Sometimes, dead is better.” This ominous and flat-out blatant warning comes from one of my favorite Stephen King characters, Jud Crandall. It sets the tone of the novel, “Pet Sematary,” right off the bat. It makes you sit back and consider the thought. Most of all, though, it brings ...

This has been a book I’ve been putting off reviewing since I started writing. Not because I don’t have anything to say, but because I care so much about this character. The Flash is my favorite superhero. He was the star of the first comic book I ever picked up nearly 10 years ago. The F...

It’s hard to pin down the exact joy that nostalgia brings us. For me it’s a joy that takes me back to before I ever had to worry about school, keeping up with social pressure, and the million other things that can cause stress in a college student’s life. Like a breath of fresh air, Disney’s...

Spider-Man may be the most complicated simple character of all time. Poor kid, spider bite, super powers, responsibility. It’s about as classic as you can get for a super hero origin, and with more movies than you can count on one hand and over 70 years of being Marvels top selling super hero. That...

There’s solace in young adult novels and their ability to normalize the lives of those who are pariahs. Becky Albertalli’s third novel “Leah On The Offbeat,” a sequel to the award-winning “Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda,” continues to develop a world much like our own: raw, genuine, and...
