So I saw Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom today with a couple of friends and it was a pretty freaking bad movie. So the plot is simple (or it should be), the main characters have to save the dinosaurs from extinction from an island. Okay, so this movie really sucks. I mean it's really really freaking bad. In the beginning of the film there is basically dinosaur peta, who want to save the dinosaurs for some freaking reason even though  if we save them there is a good chance a crap ton of people would die. The only reason mammals thrived was because the dinosaurs died out, and because of these idiots they could send us back in time and we would lose out. There's a child actress in this film and she does a really bad job at, well... acting. There is a plot twist in the film related to this character later in the film, but the plot twist basically effects nothing in the actual freaking plot in the movie! She pretty much just runs around crying about everything and is super annoying

So I just published a new short story! This is also the first one that I have made that is available in both ebook and paperback! Here's the summary: 1907 Virginia, Mr. Alabaster Ruthage spends his last day on land before he goes out on a week long "fishing trip" and while on this trip he must help overcome a supernatural occurrence. This short story helps set up the world for The Breaking Fall series and acts as an introduction to it's world. I'm so happy that I have gotten this one published. This short story has taken me a while to write and I can honestly say that I am very happy with the result of it. If you get the paperback you should be able to get the ebook version for free, but I'm not 100% sure if this is functioning I did enroll it in kdp matchbook. kindle ebook: kindle paperback:

Incredibles 2 was not just a good movie, but I dare to say that it's the best superhero movie of the year! So if you have seen the original Incredibles movie, then you should know that this movie basically picks up were the last one ended. So, Mr. Incredible in this movie takes care of the kids while his wife takes on the role of superhero that brings in the money for the family. The plot is a little predictable in some areas, but that doesn't detract from the overall experience. This movie show's superhero's in a way that other superhero movies don't and that's the day to day struggles of life. Each and every actor gives it there all in this movie and I greatly appreciate that. The music score in this film is nothing but outstanding. It fits the overall feel of the film perfectly. I think that this movie will be up for a couple of awards this year. Among them would be for Best Animation, and Best Musical Score. If this movie doesn't win at least one awa

Click picture to see on Amazon Hereditary is a freaking creepy movie! By that I also mean that it's actually really good as well. Okay, so this movie follows a family after the grandmother dies. Then some creepy stuff starts to happen, and if I say anything more I will be spoiling the movie. The scares are some of the best of the year, or some of the best in the past few years. In some scenes there is pure terror and I believe that this movie is not for the faint of heart. The lighting was perfect, and set the tone for the film in the best possible way that it could. The music in this movie was spot on in creating a sense of dread. The combination of the music and the lighting were in harmony with each other and I couldn't see any other way to improve upon it. The cast of this movie all did a fantastic job. There were a couple stale performances at times but that was done by tertiary characters. The main cast really did give it their all it seemed and it is highly appre

Thoroughbreds is an amazing film that portrays the friendship of two teen girls with a darker twist. I really enjoyed this movie, and it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I mean I thought it was going to be good, but not this good. So, Thoroughbreds follows Amanda (Olivia Cooke) who is a sociopath, and Lilly (Anya Taylor Joy) who is your average high end rich teen. Well I should note that they both come from money in this film as it portrays their perspectives a little differently than I would have thought. So, Lilly really doesn't like her stepdad and starts to complain about it to her friend Amanda. Naturally, Amanda suggests that Lilly should kill her stepdad, and then it gets. really freaking interesting. I really liked Olivia Cooke's performance in this movie and I thought that she did an excellent job. Granted I have not seen her in many other films, but Thoroughbreds is by far the best acting I have seen from her so far. Her character Amanda is just s

So I saw the movie Hotel Artemis today and it was basically what I expected it to be, a straight forward action film. There's nothing really groundbreaking in this movie, and I didn't really expect there to be. It's not a bad movie, but still it's one of those turn your brain off and enjoy kind of movies if you get my meaning. The acting was fine in the film and there was no real bad performances. Everyone did well, but no one was outstanding. The lighting was alright and fit nicely with the overall tone of the film. The music was alright but it did not leave an impression. The music wasn't bad, but it just didn't really catch my ear I guess. Actually now that I think about it I don't really remember much about the music at all. In the end this is an alright film that is fine to watch in theaters, but beyond that I think I would only watch this if it was free on tv. final score: 3.3/5

So my Dad's birthday is coming up, and I want to play into a little joke that he pulls on some waiters/waitresses when we go to restaurants. When they ask us what we want to drink, my dad will look at them with a straight face and say that he wants  diet water . They usually just look at him like what is this guy talking about and I don't know if that's a real thing oh crap I better check . But this one time a waitresses actually went to the back and checked to make sure that they had it! Most just stand there! So anyways for his birthday I'm going to get him some real diet (tonic) water. I have a feeling that he will like this. I also think that he will have some fun at work pulling this over on his coworkers. Anyways I thought that this would be a fun little tidbit of information to share on my blog. Can't wait to see his face!

In this episode of The Wednesday Show! I discuss tortillas, diet water, A24, and the tv show The Americans. This is a shorter episode but I hope that you like it just the same. So I hope that you really do enjoy this episode of The Wednesday Show! Click  here  to listen on youtube

So I just got back from seeing Adrift at my towns theater, and it was a pretty good movie, but not amazing. So this is one of those based on a true story kind of movies, and I don't know how accurate the film was but it seemed pretty realistic. The movie portrays two people that get caught in a storm and get thrown off course and they are now adrift in the open ocean. Shailene Woodley is a decent actress, and I've never really have gotten into her films to much but she seems to do an alright job in most things that she's in. Though her performance in this movie is actually very good. I'm a bit surprised to say it but she did make me believe that she was essentially stranded in the ocean trying to find her way back to civilization. I don't think that there was one bad actor in this film, and the camerawork was nicely done. Also the music and color scheme were artfully done. If you like survival films, you may want to check this one out. I enjoyed it, and I think

So I watched a video by The Closer Look called,  The Last Jedi - How Comedy Can Kill A Movie , and it got me thinking. For the most part Disney's comedy kinda sucks. I'm talking about those times that when there's a serious moment and they break the tension with comedy. They did it in  black panther , age of ultron, and apparently the new Star Wars movies as well. If you know me then you know that I don't watch the new Star Wars movies as I don't consider what Disney is doing with them to really be in the original spirit of the franchise. You may have noticed this yourself. You also may have read my current unhappy feelings with  Disney  regarding certain things. Yet I grew up loving Disney films, and in part they made me want to make movies. I'm talking about films like The Lion King, Peter Pan, and Mary Poppins. I have also heard that Disney has gone through many different ages since they have become a company, like their golden age, the dark age, their ren

Upgrade... this movie... it surpassed my expectations by a whole ton! Okay, this this movie follows Grey Trace (Logan Marshall-Green) as his wife and him are on there way home and their car gets hijacked. Then a group of people come up and kill Grey's wife, and shoot him in the neck paralyzing him. Now Grey is given an upgrade of a widget that is installed in his neck which gives him back his bodily functions and now he is out for revenge. I saw this movie last night with one of my friends. I went into this movie expecting it to be a sort of turn your brain off and enjoy kinda film, but this movie is way better than that. The action is superb, and absolutely thrilling. Comedy is perfectly timed, and never misses a single beat. The drama is amazing and has some depth. Granted there are a few problems with this movie, but they are very minor. Most of them can be overlooked. The music works well for this movie, and it really adds to the overall impact of the film. Yet the music is
