    This mini-series that adapts the Agatha Christie novel couldn’t have come out at a better time, as it was just after I went to a really enjoyable Agatha Christie exhibition here in Montreal, and so I was primed to get back to reading some of her books (I’ve become a big fan of her books…

    I watched the first season of House of Cards when it was originally released, and quite enjoyed it, but then for some reason never got around to watching the following seasons, even though I did have an interest in doing so. While I was hit with the flu a couple of weeks ago, I binged…

  • Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday

    I thought this was a hell of a fun movie to watch. Sure, it’s not perfect, and there are lots of dud jokes, but overall I found myself laughing quite a bit, and I just dug the general weirdness of the movie, and the general atmosphere. They did a pretty good job at resurrecting Pee-Wee,…

    Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would, including the pretty subdued performance by Stallone. Sure, there are still some cheesy bits – I’m thinking especially of the end of the training montage where he’s running in the streets, followed by the dudes on the bikes, and then starts punching in the air…

    I’ll just join the masses in singing the praises of this game, which I really quite enjoyed. To its credit, after being absolutely exhausted following my first week of work at a new job, on Friday night, it still managed to suck me into its world to the point where I played pretty much the…

    I’ve been meaning to play Gone Home for what feels like forever, and today I finally sat down to play through it in one sitting, which is how I think you should play this game (and it’s very doable, at about 90 minutes). I found myself really enjoying the experience, and especially dug the music…

    I’m going to be going against the grain I think, by saying that I wasn’t really that crazy about this movie. I can appreciate that it’s well made, but it just wasn’t something that I found myself enjoying. In fact, I started watching it a while back, and then it took until now to finally…

    As I said, I was on the lookout for some new anime to watch the other day, and when I got to checking out a list of shows currently airing (here), this only series that sounded interesting to me was Boku Dake ga Inai Machi (the English title is Erased). I immediately checked out the…

    The other day I mentioned on Twitter that I was feeling the itch to watch some new anime, and when I mentioned this to my wife, she recommended (again) that I watch Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika). My wife doesn’t really watch much anime, especially new stuff, but this was a series that…

    I ended up watching this last week after my wife started watching it. Like I said in my Crimson Peak post, I don’t find myself getting the urge to watch horror movies a lot these days, but I can still have fun watching one. This wasn’t bad, but I felt like the “twist” (which I won’t…
