Infinity Born

A breathtaking near-future thriller. The new novel by the NY Times bestselling author whose books have been downloaded over a million times.When DARPA’s billion-dollar program to create Artificial Superintelligence is sabotaged, US operative Cameron Carr is tasked with finding the culprit…. I really wanted to like this book, the story has many elements that I find particularly enjoyable, but they never really seemed to come together very well. There’s a point where the smarted man in the world is bamboozled by a mysterious Russian spy that I found to be unbelievable, which I guess is especially of note when the...

Max: The Curse of Brotherhood

A 2D Side Scrolling Platforming developed by Press Play / Flashbulb games for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4 and PC. I’ll never forgive them for giving it a colon and not an “and” in the title. I’m forever correcting myself when I mention the game title, which is frustrating. The game itself was fun, blissfully short, and reminded me of both “The Cave” and “Unravel”, both ok game, but Max is the better of the three. Buy On Amazon!

Adventure Time: Pirates Of The Enchiridion

The Land of Ooo is underwater, and it’s up to Finn and Jake to find out why. A pleasurable RPG-lite game with minimal story and some pretty bad optimization for the X-box. It was a fun quick play that overstayed it’s welcome by about an hour, and sometimes characters would freeze completely when loading areas, and at one point I lost the entire center channel of sound. Despite it’s rough edges though I enjoyed my time with the game. Buy On Amazon!

Better Watch Out

Directed by Chris Peckover. With Olivia DeJonge, Levi Miller, Ed Oxenbould, Aleks Mikic. On a quiet suburban street, a babysitter must defend a twelve-year-old boy from intruders, only to discover it’s far from a normal home invasion. There’s a wonderful point in this film where absolutely everything falls apart and how that scene is handled is glorious. Highly suggest checking this one out if you’re a fan of the possibility of Home Alone / Saw crossover. Buy On Amazon!

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

The Highwaymen

Directed by John Lee Hancock. With Kevin Costner, Woody Harrelson, Kathy Bates, John Carroll Lynch. A pair of Texas Rangers come out of retirement to catch the infamous outlaws Bonnie and Clyde. Beautiful looking movie with a soundtrack that pulled me right into it, both Costner and Harrelson are at their prime here, showing why they’re among the best actors out there. It’s ultimately a sad story about a pretty broken period of American history, but the movie is great. Buy On Amazon!

A Star Is Born

Directed by Bradley Cooper. With Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Sam Elliott, Greg Grunberg. A musician helps a young singer find fame as age and alcoholism send his own career into a downward spiral. A very good movie with some very good music. If you’ve seen the three other versions of the film, I’m sure you’ll recognize the story, but Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper have the best version yet.

Justice League vs the Fatal Five

Directed by Sam Liu. With Elyes Gabel, Diane Guerrero, Kevin Conroy, Susan Eisenberg. The Justice League battles the Fatal Five, (Tharok, Emerald Empress, Validus, Mano and the Persuader). Based on the characters created by Jim Shooter. A fantastic Bruce Timm DC superhero movie that I fell asleep to while watching, which isn’t the movie’s fault, I got the flu 🙁 I re-watched the parts I missed though and they were great!
