The Strain 'Battle for Redhook' recap/review

Lots of gun play

This weeks The Strain episode, was a little war between man and strigoi was a decent filler episode in what seemed to take a break from the main story. People were left wondering about this new renegade that came to help the humans, the book Setrakian was looking for, and what's up with The Master and his new body?

The last two episodes switched focus from the main story to focus on Zach and his mother who is turned now, trying to get him back. What happened to Gus, Angel, and the hunter/gladiator vampire? The battle in Red Hook was decent but not as large scale as they tried to make it seem. lets hope in the episodes to come we get a nice close to the season.

It was confirmed early in the current season that a season three is definitely coming so maybe they had to stretch some things out during the production process. Either way the focus should be on the war of for humanity and not these little side stories. Although, if it gets the show some more seasons and longer episodes us Strain addicts can't really complain.

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 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 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 ...
