The War Between the Land and the Sea: A Mythic Clash Reimagined for Modern Television
Television has long been fascinated by the forces that shape our world—political power, natural disasters, ancient mythologies, and the fragile balance between humanity and nature. But rarely has a show attempted to merge all of these elements into one sweeping narrative. The War Between the Land and the Sea arrives as a bold and ambitious entry into the landscape of prestige fantasy television, offering a story that is equal parts myth, environmental allegory, political drama, and character-driven saga.

The Abandons: Kurt Sutter’s Next Brutal Frontier and the Rebirth of the American Western
For more than a decade, audiences have associated Kurt Sutter’s name with raw, emotionally charged storytelling that cuts straight to the bone. His work on Sons of Anarchy redefined the modern outlaw narrative, blending Shakespearean tragedy with biker-club mythos and unflinching Americana. Now, with The Abandons, Sutter turns his lens toward the Old West—a landscape long romanticized in American pop culture but rarely interrogated with the gritty realism, moral ambiguity, and human fragility that define his signature style.

Apophis 2029: The Asteroid, the Anxiety, and the Apocalypse We Can’t Look Away From
In an era overflowing with disaster movies, Apophis 2029 arrives with a premise so grounded in real scientific fear that it feels less like fiction and more like a premonition. Named after the actual near-Earth asteroid that stirred global panic in the early 2000s, the film doesn’t just exploit our fascination with cosmic destruction—it elevates it. With a blend of gripping realism, character-driven storytelling, and eerily plausible science, Apophis 2029 stands out as one of the most compelling space-catastrophe films of the decade.

Jay Kelly (2025) and Blue Moon (2025). Top Story - December 2025.
As a writer I have been given mountains of advice, solicited and unsolicited. Some of it useful, some to be discarded and some of it contradictory. (Here, I just followed the advice about the "rule of three").
