The Mysteries of Harris Burdick
Each image wonderfully weird and sinister, capturing the imagination of a reader of any age. It is impossible to view the pictures and captions without imagining what came before and more importantly, what happened next. The beauty of the book, is that we will never know. A true master piece.

The Watertower
A wonderful example of a picture book where the illustrations add to the story and mystery of the watertower. The closer you look at the illustrations, the more you see. The story leaves you with so many questions and sparks the imagination. What lurks in the waters of the watertower?

Few Good Men Critique
Rob Reiner's 1992 film "A Few Good Men," starring Tom Cruise as Lt. Daniel Kaffee, brings to the forefront the complexities of military justice, honor, and personal accountability. While the film undoubtedly showcases Tom Cruise's charismatic portrayal and the tension-filled courtroom drama, it's essential to examine both its strengths and shortcomings in its exploration of these themes.

Twilight
The Twilight movie; what a disappointing film adaptation of a good book. As a fan of the saga, I was not pleased with the shabby graphics and mediocre acting. Main characters were far from portrayed as described in the books making the entire first film an opening for bad jokes.

Third Times the Charm:Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3
Guardians of the Galaxy three puts my assumtions on a rocket and sends them into outter space! It details my favorite rabbit's, or rather now clearly raccoon's, origins. He finds family and understanding in the face of utopian delusions and hate.

Meg and Charles Murry’s father goes missing and they bring their friend Calvin O’Keefe to another world to fight a monster called the thing. It was nominated and won several well deserved awards. It is a great book, well written and I recommend that you read it. A great work!

Aliens: A Critique
Ripley’s second round with the xenomorph has it all! ACTION PACKED! Badass colonial marines, cute kid, weird robot guy. And of course monsters, more monsters. Bigger and badder. Ripley in Caterpillar Power Loader exoskeleton machine fights massive alien queen. Best sequel ever made. Dare I say, better than the original?

A Bite Sized Review
This novel sparked the inferno that was teenage angst and rose colored glasses. Almost twenty years since its debut, Twilight has amassed a cult following that also contain its biggest critics. As a "Twi-hard", I can comfortably say there are far better, and healthier, vampire romances to get lost in.
