This young adult fantasy novel is so charming and so ready to be made into yet another loveable series that it did not surprise me in the slightest to find it has already been optioned as a screenplay. Unlike most of the kiddie-fantasy being published today, Â this is more adult and has adult protagonists varying [...]
Hailed as the “DaVinci book for kids” I picked up Endymion Spring at Wal-mart a few days ago just to have a light quick fantasy read. I was right on two counts, it was light and it was quick. I actually enjoyed the book though I admit I was much more ramped up to a [...]
What can you say about a film that Director David Lynch says is the only real failure of his career. (I would nominate Wild at Heart for that honor!) Lynch claims that revisiting the film through the DVD edition would be too painful an experience to endure. I revisited it this past weekend and it was [...]
The Menagerie is an interesting two-part episode because it is the first episode in Star Trek that alludes to the Enterprise ever belonging to another Captain, as well as helps create a rich back-story for the series. It is also the only two-partner in the three seasons. That Gene Roddenberry did this with the failed [...]
What’s better than one Captain Kirk? Two! And how about if one of them is totally horndog? Woo-hoo! Thus the episode, “The Enemy Within” begins with a transporter malfunction that splits kirk into the Good Kirk and the Bad Kirk. How can you tell which is which? Well, the Bad Kirk wants Saurian brandy and [...]
One of the early episodes, this one lays the groundwork for a romantic interest out of McCoy’s past. It’s a highly creative episode, with a message (don’t destroy all the buffalo, that kind of thing – hinting at the fact that as humans spread like a virus into the galaxy and start colonizing planets one [...]
I have read some duds in my day (basically everything Terry Goodkind has ever written), books that made me practically give up all hope that there is a single author/editor/publisher on earth dedicated to anything but mediocrity – but this…this…catalog of repetitive, slogging, meandering, sixth-grade writing level piece of mammoth dung is one of the [...]
I read and enjoyed the Belgariad – in fact; it really shook me up, emotionally. I even cried. But this tripe – this Mallorean – five books of vacuous-ness of utterly wasted words on paper that poor trees were cut down to deliver! The horror, the horror! To say it was bad is an insult [...]
I’ve read all of Carol Berg’s novels and Son of Avonar is by far her best. She has evolved as a writer and storyteller and has managed to create something refreshing and new in the field of Fantasy – believable, fallible and human characters.Her character work has always been her strong suit, in that even [...]
I cannot tell you how sick to death I am of derivative epic fantasy novels. But I will. Why don’t people have original thoughts any more? Isn’t there something different you could do to your epic that doesn’t hearken back to Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time or Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth (my most hated [...]
