A New Marvel
March 12, 2019
It was the best of films, it was the worst of films. Just caught Captain Marvel today, and it was worth the price of admission. It added another brick to the structure of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and had quite a few fun moments. The acting was uniformly good, with Brie Larson playing a very … More A New Marvel
Wakanda Nights.
March 5, 2018
Sorry to not post for so long; when I get stuck in my writing, even my casual writing suffers. Now with the complete alpha-reader draft of Recursion complete, I’m finally turning my head to writing of other things and playing catch-up on a backlog of posts. So now for the most immediate thing: the latest … More Wakanda Nights.
She Is A Wonder
June 6, 2017
It is easy to forget that “wonder” is a much bigger word than its normal usage.

A couple of reasons, but the first is the CGI, whether the cartoony CGI of Big Hero Six, … More Domo Arigato, Big Hero Six.
Being Gwen Stacy.
May 5, 2014
If you don’t know what happens next, go away and come back when you do. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I hope that wasn’t too annoying, but who knows, I might have had a reader who didn’t know that Peter Parker’s first love … More Being Gwen Stacy.
He did what?
May 4, 2013
Iron Man: the ultimate mecha-man. I don’t normally go and see a movie on opening night, but I decided that if I wanted to enjoy Iron Man 3 without spoilers I needed to do it quickly. Fair warning: this post spoils the hell out of it, so if you want to see it with the … More He did what?
