Okay, you know how much that I like reviewing video games, and I had a chance to try out Project Root by OPQAM.

In all honesty, I don't really even care but it involves some evil … [Read more...] about My Review of Project Root from OPQAM

Christian Movie Samples “God’s Not Dead” and “Heaven is for Real”
Here's the thing about Christian movies: I don't like them. I think that I was pretty clear in my Christians in the Arts series how I feel about secular art vs. Christian art, and I was prepared to tear both of these movies a new one. Seriously, I already discussed how I feel about how certain Christian film can't help but come off as propaganda, and the first of this movies … [Read more...] about Christian Movie Samples “God’s Not Dead” and “Heaven is for Real”
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Other Space
I've been talking about Community last week, and I will have to say there are good episodes and bad episodes. I still watch it because it sometimes produces a gem, and I guess it was worth Yahoo bringing it back for a sixth season. Another series that Yahoo has "birthed" is a science fiction comedy series known as Other Space. In talking about Other Space, I am going to have … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Other Space

LucidBrake is a brake light for the bike!
It's very strange that in an age where all cars need brake lights, bikes do not. This could change with the Lucidbrake, a smart wireless bicycle brake light. At first I thought this was some brakelight that would attach to some mechanism on the bike so the moment you hit a brake, the light will go on. Actually, it is not like that at all, for the brake light will go on … [Read more...] about LucidBrake is a brake light for the bike!

Well, with my theme this month of talking about whatever speculative fiction that I can get my hands on, I decided to discuss a film that has already been a subject of discussion: Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. If you aren't familiar with Christopher Nolan, the guy has produced some really good films like Memento and Inception.

Our review of Lois Lane: Fallout, a YA novel
I had an terrific chance to review a YA (young adult) novel entitled Lois Lane: Fallout, by Gwenda Bond, published by Switch Press.
