24 Hours of Horror Movies for Halloween

A good friend of mine posed this question to me this past weekend: “If you wanted to watch movies for 24 hours on Halloween, what would your list look like?”  For the sake of ease in this, he told me to assume every movie was 2 hours long. I really loved this question, so I […]

TWD S4 E3, “Isolation” by Dusty

What I’m drinking: Columbus Festbier Lager.  This time of year, I find myself trying a lot of pumpkin and Oktoberfest beers.  This is one of the latter.  It’s decent.  A little on the lighter side of Oktoberfest, but still very drinkable.  Not great.  Not terrible.  Strictly middle of the road. Eight things that annoyed me: […]

AHS S3, E3: “The Replacements” by Cat Scully

  This is the episode I have been waiting for. So far, I’ve been pretty tame in my reviews, waiting for the other shoe to drop and the season to start acting like the past ones. I felt the build up was necessary and, knowing the series and how it never lets me down with […]

The Page Turners – Kevin Johns review.

  The Page Turners is the debut novel from local product Kevin Johns. It is evident from the early chapters that considerable time has been put into the character building process.  The plot generally moves at a good pace and it never tries to accomplish too much within its relatively short span. Recently I took […]

The Walking Dead: L.C. defends “Infected”

Originally, I had planned to take this episode off because I had a date with Zombie Elvis and Shawn was big enough to watch and review the episode as a companion piece to Dusty’s.  I love my horror brothers with all of my heart, but those are some pretty negative views of the latest episode, […]

TWD S4 Ep. 2: “Infected” by Dusty

Shawn chimed in with his thoughts on this episode here.  You should really read it. What I’m drinking: Sam Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale.  Honestly, not as great as I hoped it would be.  Not nearly as pumpkiny as some others I’ve had.  But it’s still pretty good. Six things that annoyed me: 1. With everyone […]

The Walking Dead S4-E2 running diary

The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 2. I neither love nor hate The Walking Dead. I seem to be part of a minority group that doesn’t share the large hatred or love that this show gets. I have been a weekly watcher since the first season and for every episode that I love, I find […]
