Shirley - A Movie Review
I wonder what living with a horror author is like for a week. Shirley is a 2020 film. A young couple stays with author Shirley Jackson and her husband for a week. A set of peculiar events and conversations happen. However, this visit helps inspire Shirley to write a new horror novel.

The Books of Corum
Introduction As a teenager, my go-to fantasy writer was Michael Moorcock and I was sort of introduced to him through the works of Hawkwind. He supplied poems like “Sonic Attack”and “Black Corridor” (also the name of one of his books) for their “Space Ritual”. I read the Hawkmoon and The Runestaff series and enjoyed them as an alternate future / past Britain involving fantasy and time travel.

Review of 'Summer’s Edge'
I Know What You Did Last Summer meets The Haunting of Hill House in this atmospheric, eerie teen thriller following an estranged group of friends being haunted by their friend who died last summer. Emily Joiner was once part of an inseparable group—she was a sister, a best friend, a lover, and a rival. Summers without Emily were unthinkable. Until the fire burned the lake house to ashes with her inside. A year later, it’s in Emily’s honor that Chelsea and her four friends decide to return. The house awaits them, meticulously rebuilt. Only, Chelsea is haunted by ghostly visions. Loner Ryan stirs up old hurts and forces golden boy Chase to play peacemaker. Which has perfect hostess Kennedy on edge as eerie events culminate in a stunning accusation: Emily’s death wasn’t an accident. And all the clues needed to find the person responsible are right here. As old betrayals rise to the surface, Chelsea and her friends have one night to unravel a mystery spanning three summers before a killer among them exacts their revenge.

The Silent Patient: Review
I have just turned the last page of The Silent Patient, and I have to admit that I am impressed. I am pleasantly surprised by this, considering how I felt about his second novel The Maidens, which I read first. Unlike The Maidens, The Silent Patient has a cunningly well-thought-out plot and a jaw-dropping twist to finish. A twist that makes you want to go right back to the beginning to see how you missed it.

"Somewhere" movie review
I have to say, I don't know how to feel about this movie. I love Sofia Coppola, she's hands down my favorite director, but I have to be honest and say that the pacing of this movie was incredibly slow, that's usually how her films are, but they have something to them that keeps you interested. This one at times would get a bit boring. I'm not saying this was a bad film, but it's definitely not one I would watch again. I understood the message of it, it's mainly about a man (Johnny Marco) realizing that fame is not all it's made out to be.

My Review of "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier"
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier came out in 1989. This is kind of a lost movie in some ways. There are a lot of things to like about this movie but it stumbles a bit. Then again you're coming back from a time travel movie so the expectations shouldn't have been too high for this one in the first place.

My Review of "Elvis"
Elvis is one of the hotly anticipated biopics of 2022 and I finally got to see it. I'm surprised it took me this long since I actually had some anticipation towards this movie. When I saw the trailer I thought it would be a fun biopic and in essence it is. I did have a few nitpicks about this movie though.
