Update: Vacation, Reviews, and Other Goodies

Hey guys, just an update post.

So I've been working on a bunch of stuff outside of the blog. It's been taking up my time, and I would like to write more here, and if you're a regular, you probably want to see more content. There are a couple of ways you can help if you're up for it. But first, I have an announcement.
I will be going on vacation in a couple of weeks. I'll be gone the first half of June, but don't worry, I'll schedule a couple of reviews during that time. As you may know, I'm from the MidWest. I'll be headed out to the East Coast, during my time gone. The places I'll be going are sort of a dream vacation for me, and I'll post some pictures when I get back. I'll probably have at least two or three reviews scheduled for you guys while I'm gone.
If you want to help me out so I'll be able to post more frequently, below I've listed a few ways you can. If you do any of these, thank you a ton! It really means a lot.
First off, you've probably noticed the amazon ads on the blog. It's one revenue source for me, and if you're planning on getting something from amazon anyways, please click on one of my ads first. It doesn't cost you anything extra but it helps me out a ton.
Also, up top you may have noticed the Books! tab, I've done some writing, and I've got a new book out right now. It needs some more reviews, and the ebook version is priced at $0.99, it's also on Kindle Unlimited. I've looked back at some of my earlier writing, and it's not the best but I've improved and I'm still improving. Writing is a life long practice. I think this latest book is pretty good and I have plans to make it a series eventually. So, if you're looking for something to read, please give this book a shot.
If you yourself are a writer and you need a beta reader, I also offer a beta reading service. You can click the tab at the top which says, I Need A Beta Reader! if you're looking for one.
I also have some author products through teespring. I also have another store on teespring centered around more Roman themed merch. I have a strong love for history, and I thought it would be cool to put some of my love of it on shirts. If there is something you'd like to get, I do have a promo code running (valid on both stores), and it's for 10% off (should work for all products, but no guaranties) and it's good until the end of May 2019. Use promo code: BLOG
If you can't get anything, but you'd still like to support the blog in some way, please share posts you like. If there's a review you enjoy please share it around. It's another way which really helps.
Thank you for sticking with me! I can't believe I've been doing this for over two years and it's fantastic! I'll post a few more reviews before I head out on vacation, so don't worry. You guys are so cool! Thank you for sticking with me!

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
