The Strain: Quick and Painless recap/review

The action before the credits roll let the audience know this episode was going to be good. Strakian continues to search for the Lumin and Fet is in jail, shortly.

The show is taking a turn from the books that, is probably a good idea to make this thing last for a good run on TV. The way Fet and the police teamed up in this episode is a really pleasant surprise. Eph has assumed another identity and is sporting a new haircut. Just so you know the actor playing him is bald so this is good for him.

Setrakian makes some headway in locating the book that could contain the secret to finishing off the Stigoi for good. Although the people he is using to find it may not be trustworthy.

Fet and the police go on a cleaning mission in Redhook that is reminiscent of the beginning scenes from the original Dawn of the Dead. They make a good dent in the Stigoi population and educate the police on the weaknesses of the Strigoi. Eph has a scene of note when he runs into his old boss and we find out he was in on The Masters plans.

A good episode but no new scenes with The Silver Angel we met last week. Whatever is left this season should be good.

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 ...
