Arena Forged, by Robert Ryan, follows Drom, a quiet farmer in middle age who lives alone and tends his crop in the foothills of a mountain range at the edge of Camlanta. One spring day, a beautiful young woman rides by on the road next to Drom’s farm, both she and her mount exhausted. Not…
Trafficked, a memoir written by British author Sophie Hayes, is the riveting tale of Sophie’s descent into the dark world of trafficking and prostitution in western Europe. What makes this memoir shocking is that Sophie Hayes was an educated British girl from a middle-class family. She did not fit the stereotype of the poor, uneducated…
With this book, I have the pleasure of reviewing someone who might very well be the Rod Serling of our time (the famous host and writer of the old Twilight Zone TV series), Tom Sterling. Even his last name is similar! This is the second collection Tom has released, containing ten of his science fiction, fantasy, horror, and…
The Other Man, a memoir written by former Calvin Klein model and Baywatch star, Michael Bergin, is primarily the story of his torrid secret love affair with Carolyn Bessette. Interestingly, Michael Bergin has claimed he never intended to write a book about or profit off of his affair with Carolyn Bessette. He only did so…
Primate is a movie about a pet chimpanzee, really a beloved family member, who gets rabies and in a short time turns from gentle companion to terrifying predator. It’s not deep, but it’s entertaining enough and well made for what it is. I don’t think King Kong is in any danger of being dislodged from…
Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again is an investigative accounting of what happened behind closed doors in the White House during Joe Biden’s presidency. The book, based upon more than 200 insider interviews, details the reality that Joe Biden while President was not even fit enough to run a 7-Eleven, let alone an entire country. Written by CNN’s Jake Tapper…

In fact, I would say this is one of the best Vincent Price movies I’ve seen, up there with The Fly and Witchfinder…
Wonderful Tonight is an honest and compelling autobiography written by the woman who was both bride and muse to two of the most famous and talented rockstars in the 20th century – Pattie Boyd. Pattie Boyd was the inspiration for the Beatles song, “Something” (written by her then-husband, George Harrison of the Beatles) and then…
There have been more than a few low budget horror movies that were masterpieces. Indeed, I’ve reviewed a few them here–Carnival of Souls, Night of the Living Dead, The Blair Witch Project. Even Halloween, which I didn’t rate that highly, at least came across as a watchable evening diversion. Unfortunately, though Iron Lung is certainly…
The Real Girl Next Door is a candid yet sometimes opaque look into Denise Richards’s life through the demise of her first marriage and adoption of her third daughter, Eloise. While Denise does discuss her midwestern childhood and her Catholic roots in this memoir, the title of this book does not seem to represent who…
