Is Shadow in the Clouds the WORST WW2 Movie Ever? #Writing #Opinion #WW2 #Movies #Chloe Moretz #Rant Warning

by

I haven’t really done a movie reaction in a long time. Frankly, Hollywood hasn’t put out anything good in ages… with a few notable exceptions. Some of you may think I’m being hyperbolic in saying this. However, my wife and I recently saw this movie. I’d been dying to see it for a while because I’m a huge WW2 history buff and a horror … Read More Is Shadow in the Clouds the WORST WW2 Movie Ever? #Writing #Opinion #WW2 #Movies #Chloe Moretz #Rant Warning

The Villain #Fantasy #Fiction #Advice

by

What is it about the villain that’s so great? Why do we like villains so much… to the point where we want to see the villain more than the hero? Well originally, villains were just supposed to be a plot device. A simple element that was used to create a plot. There was no rhyme or reason to it. The villain was just a … Read More The Villain #Fantasy #Fiction #Advice

Elves #Fantasy #Fiction #Advice

by

As you can imagine by my written work so far… I love elves. They’re are some of my favorite mythological characters… but over the years, there have been different incarnations of them. So which one is the right one? Well technically speaking, there is no right or wrong in Fantasy… and I can say that with a straight face after watching Jeremy Irons in … Read More Elves #Fantasy #Fiction #Advice

Why do books not always translate well to movies? #Writing #Author #Advice

by

It’s not always the easiest question to answer. A lot of things go into making the jump from the written word to the big screen. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn’t. Some stories weren’t ever meant to be turned into movies while others seem like they were made for it. Let’s explore some of the reason why a book may not translate well: … Read More Why do books not always translate well to movies? #Writing #Author #Advice

How Ed Harris Simultaneously Saved and Ruined “The Rock” #Review #Opinion #Movies

by

Ed Harris is really an under appreciated actor. I grew up watching this man give a thunderous performance in almost every role he was in. Everything from The Abyss, to Milk Money (yeah I said it), to Apollo 13, to The Rock, all the way to National Treasure 2. The Rock stands out as probably his greatest role… which is sad, because if you … Read More How Ed Harris Simultaneously Saved and Ruined “The Rock” #Review #Opinion #Movies

Can fictional stories be harmful?

by

Unfortunately, I have to say yes… hesitantly. Fictional stories can absolutely be harmful if taken the wrong way or interpreted incorrectly. A good example would be many of the Bible stories. The Bible was a good written by man for man. I can’t speak to who wrote the old testaments or how, but the new testament, at least as far as the Gospels are … Read More Can fictional stories be harmful?

Half-elf description #Fantasy #Fiction #Advice

by

I’ve looked through the different works and various forms of elves and what their half-breed children are like. Half Breeds in some stories look like their human parent, almost completely and I’ll explain why below… In other stories, they are mixed, though in most, they have slightly pointed ears, but otherwise look like humans. So far, there is one consistency; elven genes are recessive … Read More Half-elf description #Fantasy #Fiction #Advice

Unpopular Opinion: Yes, The Ewok Adventures ARE CANON!!

by

Someone needs to make a fan film ‘Star Wars Infinite: The Canon Wars.’ Directors, get on it!!! Yeah for a very long time now we’ve seen fans arguing back and forth over what is and is not canon… and my understanding is that the ONLY things that are considered canon now are the films and anything that George Lucas himself had a hand in… … Read More Unpopular Opinion: Yes, The Ewok Adventures ARE CANON!!
