  • Rev-iew: Final Destination, Bloodlines

    I saw the first Final Destination film as an on-flight movie once. That’s love. It’s been imitated, perhaps replicated, but never duplicated, even by any of its own films in the franchise. Don’t get me wrong; they try, and they’re good tries… But the original Final Destination is brilliant. It was a gateway horror film…

    Bye Bye Bargain Bin

    For months, I’ve had a bargain bin in my store for all the books in my collection still displaying the C. Derick Miller name on the cover. I gave many of them away to sad faces who’d spent more than their fair share on books. When the day was done, I donated 30 copies of…

    Class of ’83

    Packed and ready for Texas Author Con this weekend! This is the Steam version and it’s not arcade accurate. I kinda suck at it, to be honest. I have this in an arcade cabinet and I can beat it blindfolded lol. Still, the timing is different and I’m playing with an X-Box controller instead of…

  • Allow me to honestly describe the Bishop Arts District. I began an open mic the first week of January because there weren’t any. Bishop Arts is actually “Bishop Shops”. There’s no art, unless shopping is considered an art. There are people eating in restaurants who purchase the skewed version of what they consider to be…

    Review!

    Let me start off by saying that Tumbleweed is not for the faint of heart. This book teeters more on the extreme horror and splatterpunk side of things. It’s violent, brutal, and unflinchingly graphic. Some of these things might make it a tough read for some so if you’re sensitive to strong and (period accurate)…
