Bear is a failure-to-launch guy, stuck in a cool but ultimately dead-end retail job at a used record store. He’s totally and completely in love with a beautiful co-worker, Nikki, who he knows is out of his league. Another co-worker who’s a friend, Ian, and has been hearing Bear moon over this girl for months,…
Misery is a rarity–a top-shelf, major studio produced-horror film, directed by Rob Reiner (!) and starring big stars like James Caan, Catherine Bates, and Lauren Bacall (!). It’s a movie I’ve heard a lot about over the years and wanted to see for a looong time. I don’t know why I haven’t before now, I…
Today I have the pleasure of reviewing a book by a local (to me) author, City of End, by Katelyn Pfeiffer. Katelyn lives in Manassas, Virginia, not far from me, and a good friend who met her at a book signing recommended this book to me. Aoire is eighteen, and she and her best friend, Collette, will…
Fast Girl, a memoir written by former American Olympian Suzy Favor Hamilton, is the bizarre story of an American sweetheart turned escort. This former Olympic athlete had a dream lifestyle few could ever hope for, but instead of being content with it, Suzy chose to sell her body to the night in Vegas. Suzy risked…
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…
