"Gone Smooth" The Strain episode 3 recap.

Episode 3 puts us back on track with the shows original pace after getting some mushy character building stuff out of the way last week. This episode had plenty of horror, action, and dare I say comedy to grab anyone thinking about dropping the show stay aboard.

With the final decision being made on Eph's custody nonsense, (because this isn't Kramer v. Kramer) out of the way we can get back to the story at hand. The vampiric disease taking over New York City and all those directly involved. We get to see why Jim Kent can get the thumb pushed on him by The Stone Heart Group, and we get to see who seems like the rough detective of all the characters Vasily Fet. The Russian exterminator who, in the book seems to be the equivalent of Woody Harrelson's character in Zombieland. His attitude alone is pretty funny in the book and it seems they may bring that to the show.

Gabriel Bolivar, the shock rocker is undergoing his transformation in the what I thought would not make it to the small screen and the confrontation with a transformed Capt. Redfern from Regis flight 753 ended in a way that will please most horror fans.

We'll be sticking with this one till the season finale, episode 2 had us worried but patience is a virtue and it seems worth sticking around for. What about you? Please comment below...

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies. I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans. Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better. Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
