What better way to ring in the new year than by looking back at what past writers thought this upcoming year would be like. Here is a list of science fiction stories that imagine 2019 in many different and creative ways. I don't know that I'll be consuming these all right away, but they're all definitely on my list for 2019. It's interesting...Read More

I am notorious for buying books faster than I can read them. I can't resist the allure of an interesting book. Sometimes, all it takes is a good cover to convince me that I absolutely need a book. Here is a look back at all the books I bought in July. Some are not sci-fi, but that is okay. ...Read More

I was excited when the previews for the newest Lost in Space rendition were released. The series looked fun and exciting. However, once the series was released on Netflix this past April, I found myself struggling through the first few episodes before I finally just gave up. Here's a list of reasons why I still haven't finished Lost in Space. ...Read More

The premise behind the Red Rising series is very well thought out and immersive. There are a lot of things I dislike about this book but I honestly did enjoy it. Pierce Brown does a great job at creating this futuristic universe ruled by class separation. ...Read More

I don't own very many movies, but the ones I do own are pretty special to me. I recently made a YouTube video of my movie haul, but I thought I'd post about them here too. So here is a list of my movies with my very short review of each one. ...Read More

Armada starts out strong, creating an immersive alternate reality to our current present time, and then quickly loses its speed in an ocean of overwhelming battle scenes and gamer elitism. I was actually pretty excited to read Armada, especially because I enjoyed reading Ready Player One a few years ago. Armada stems from the same novel quality as Ready Player One in that...Read More

Solo has been in theaters for less than 24 hours and I've already seen so much hate for it on Twitter and Facebook. It seems to be all the "casual" Star Wars fans who didn't enjoy it. From dedicated fans, though, I've been reading nothing but praise for the movie and hopes for a sequel. I really enjoyed the movie and thought it...Read More

It has been so long since my previous post! The end of the semester and finals were really tough this year, but exams are over and school is out. So, here's a hastily written jumble of thoughts about the latest Avengers film. I jotted some thoughts down on paper after seeing the movie when it first came out so here is that list....Read More

This past Thursday I went to an advance screening of the new Rampage movie coming out this week and here are a few thoughts.  Apparently this movie is based on a late 80s arcade game. I've never played this game but this is what wikipedia has to say about it: "Players take control of gigantic monsters trying to survive against onslaughts of military...Read More

I might do a review of the Ready Player One novel sometime in the future, but this is a quick review for the movie directed by Steven Spielberg which came out today. I've already read several articles and blog posts that claim the movie was disappointing and overly saturated with pop culture references (which is the point) and I feel like I want...Read More

I have so much to say about this movie and yet, I don't quite know how to formulate those thoughts coherently. A lot of disappointment, rage, and confusion is mixing around within me. I'll start off by saying that the first Pacific Rim movie was an instant favorite of mine and I've rewatched it many, many times over the years. I loved the...Read More

Another semester has come and gone. I actually struggled a lot this past fall which made the semester really difficult. I felt so overwhelmed with the workload and at one point fell super behind in both math and physics. Nevertheless, I did do pretty well in those classes and in my other classes as well. For the spring semester I have signed up...Read More
