Speculative Fiction Friday: Mad Max Fury Road
I will honestly say that I didn't plan on seeing this film when it was in theaters. Some of you might recall my review of the Mad Max original trilogy, I stated that "sadly, they are rebooting these". Fortunately, they did this right for several reasons. First of all, they got the original director George Miller to do the job right. Now, I remember reading a magazine … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Mad Max Fury Road

It's probably no surprise that I am reporting on this. After all, I have had a lot of love for the Oculus Rift for a long time now.

Bjork’s newest video goes full 360
I have to admit that I might know a few contemporary songs here and there, but I rarely watch videos these days.

Her newest video is in 360, and I can't seem to understand the lyrics, but it is quite interesting to see what can be done with it. I have … [Read more...] about Bjork’s newest video goes full 360
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Sword Art Online
I don't review a lot of anime on this, with the exception of Psycho-Pass and the Hayao Miyazaki films.
