Posted on September 19, 2017 by Fraser

I didn’t seek out the Adjustment Bureau, even though it was a movie based on a story by Philip K. Dick, and his stories almost always have something valuable in them. No, I didn’t seek it out, but it was … Continue reading →

Posted on September 9, 2017 by Fraser

I had plenty of momentum when I wrote my review of the first episodes of the Defenders. Finishing the series, that motivation and momentum died a barely noticed death. It’s not that the series was bad, but it had a … Continue reading →

Posted on August 21, 2017 by Fraser

I’m up to episode five with the Defenders, and I’m enjoying it so far, except for Iron Fist. But let’s leave that until later. Let’s heap some praise on this before I unleash the disdain. One word of warning: if … Continue reading →

Through the Gate in the Sea: A Review

Posted on May 10, 2017 by Fraser

I was quite thrilled when I heard that Through the Gate in the Sea was available. I’m a fan of Howard Andrew Jones’ work, and while I consider his non-tie-in fiction to be his strongest, I will always buy a … Continue reading →

Logan: A Review

Posted on May 3, 2017 by Fraser

Thanks to the wonders of repertory cinemas, I had a chance to see Logan last week. It seems this was good karma for helping a friend in need, and it was more than an adequate reward. I’ve been a Wolverine … Continue reading →

Hard West

Posted on April 16, 2017 by Fraser

Since I have put my master’s program on pause, I’ve had some time to play some computer games, and an interesting one that I’ve just started is Hard West. Now, being a PC player, I don’t have access to Red … Continue reading →

Marvel’s Iron Fist – the First Seven Episodes

Posted on March 19, 2017 by Fraser

I’m up to episode 7 in the Netflix series Marvel’s Iron Fist and while it’s fine, I find it the weakest of the Marvel series. Without getting into spoilers, the main character is pretty wooden and this is not offset … Continue reading →
