Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian – Ch 20

November 30, 2016 By Michael G. Munz 4 Comments

Chapter 20

Alternate chapter title: I Forget To Ask For Ice Cream

Things are about wrapped up (though not quite) and we come to the all-important part of any epic quest story: the part where there is much celebrating, and everyone gets medals. In other words, it’s time for the twentieth chapter in Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, a.k.a…

Bad Sci-Fi Theater: Judge Dredd (1995)

November 20, 2016 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

HE AM THE LAW!!!

HE AM THE LAW!!!

It’s about time for another Bad Sci-Fi Theater post! This time around, I put up the choice of movies for a vote on Twitter, and low and behold they declared that I must watch the first Judge Dredd movie from 1995. This tour de force of entertainment features Sylvester Stallone and that thespian of thespians who brought us not only Deuce Bigalo: MaleΒ Gigolo, but ALSO its sequel: Rob Schneider! (Okay, so I admit I laughed at the “Makin’ Copies” sketches on SNL back in the day, but I really can’t stand the guy. So thanks, Twitter. I owe ya one. πŸ˜‰

So hey, here we go! [Read more…]

Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian – Ch 19

November 12, 2016 By Michael G. Munz 1 Comment

Alternate chapter title:

Alternate chapter title: “Stop Stabbing Yourself! Stop Stabbing Yourself!”

It’s time for a climax, complete with leg-crushing statues, aquatic cavalry, and not one but two last-minute side switches. In other words, it’s time for the 19th chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian…

Book Review: The Secret History of Twin Peaks

November 4, 2016 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

My rating: β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜† (4 out of 5)(But if you're a Twin Peaks fan, read it!)

My rating: β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜† (4 out of 5)
(If you’re a Twin Peaks fan, read it!)

Note: This review is spoiler-free until the marked section below…

Have I mentioned how grateful I am for Mark Frost’s involvement in Twin Peaks? He’s the co-creator who always seems to get short shrift alongside David Lynch any time the show is mentioned, but between the episodes of the show he wrote, the feel of the Fire Walk With Me movie (done without his involvement), and my love of his supernatural Victorian adventure novel The List of 7 (unconnected to Twin Peaks, a big favorite of mine–it’s a potboiler but no less fantastic for it), he’s a vital element of the show–at least, so far as I’m concerned. His particular style is all over the newly released The Secret History of Twin Peaks, which is a worthwhile read for anyone who’s a fan of the show. [Read more…]
