"Firebrand" Movie Review

The film Firebrand was a complete disaster. It’s hard to argue with about an hour and ten minutes of the movie but then it completely went off the tracks. On the positive: The acting was superb. Vikander played the role of Katherine Parr just right, being strong and assertive but scared to death of Henry. Although Jude Law went over the top at the end, for the most part his performance was the…

September Wrap-up / October TBR

WOW! September has been my best reading month so far this year (both in terms of the number of books I read and the quality of the books)! I ended up finishing 9 books and am currently over 70% done with another! One of my other goals for the month was to try and read 50% of the books I had listed in my previous TBR post. And I’m proud to announce that I managed to read exactly 50% of my original…

Ben's Favorite TV Shows of 2020

Ben’s Favorite TV Shows of 2020

While 2020 wasn’t the best year for movies, it was a fairly strong one for TV shows. In addition to playing more video games, the time I spent binging on TV series was also significantly higher than years past. I got caught up on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and finally saw why everyone loved Community. I also watched a solid chunk of this year’s biggest hits as well, and these were the best…

The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis

With my interest more than piqued by the Netflix production, I was keen to read Walter Tevis' portrayal of Beth Harmon, his chess playing prodigy.

It is not my usual order of doing things, to watch a film or series based on a book before reading the book itself but those wily creatures at Netflix made The Queen’s Gambit such an alluring prospect and, with positive reviews from my Facebook peers, adding to the fervour surrounding the chess-based drama, I was helpless to resist in the face of such ongoing perceived peer pressure. Actually, I…

A vezércsel (2020), 1. évad

Bármennyire is nagy rajongója vagyok a hosszú sorozatoknak – igen, én a végtelenségig húznák mindent –, van abban valami megnyugtató, hogy egy széria csak egy évadból és pár részből áll, valószínileg azért, mert így biztos lehetek abban, hogy választ kapok a kérdéseimre (jó, mondjuk, ez egy sci-fi esetében nem mindig van így. A vezércsel pont egy ilyen sorozat: egységes, jól átgondolt és…

Pandemic Binge Watching in the New Year

Pandemic Binge Watching in the New Year

Just because the world is falling apart doesn’t mean we’ve stopped watching TV.  Sometimes we watch more.  Back on the 6th I had the TV on and tuned to CNN… live freaking television… almost all day.  I don’t think I’ve done that since the Gulf War back in ’91. But aside from insurrectionist farces involving people who probably lack the self reflection to ever achieve the “Are we the baddies?”…
