From Movie-Blogger.com: Friday’s ReGen wrapup!


Check out the original piece HERE!

Time to hop into the TARDIS and have an adventure, Whovians – (Re)Generation Who has returned to Baltimore, Maryland for its fourth year.  And like years past, this con is some of the best fun you can have with or without a sonic screwdriver.  This small (by Dragon Con, Awesome Con, and SDCC standards) convention packs a whole lot of entertainment opportunity into it’s weekend-long run.

Today was the kickoff of ReGen4, and while Fridays tend to be much less busy than their official weekend counterparts, I noticed a definite uptick in attendees since last year.  That’s not a comment on how low attendee numbers were last year, instead ReGen4 is gaining traction as a Doctor convention worth checking out.  As it’s been one of my favorite cons – and I’ve been to a lot of ’em – I’m happy to see this con getting the love it deserves.  Though I’m sure I’ll soon be one of those con goers that’s all “man, I remember when ReGen wasn’t so crowded…”. Because I’m a jerk. Continue reading

GoodReads Review: “The Blackstone Wolf”

Because it’s a lazy rain-sleet-y kinda day…I’ma cut and paste right from GoodReads. BECAUSE I CAN.

[NOTE: I received a copy of this title thanks to the graciousness of the creators. I received no compensation for my review. Not even a slice of pie. DAMMIT I LOVE PIE.]

The Blackstone Wolf (Blackstone Mountain #4)The Blackstone Wolf by Alicia Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love Alicia Montgomery’s books. The characters are engaging, the stories are fun, and the mythology she weaves is addicting. But The Blackstone Wolf may be her best ever. I rank this one right up there with her stories “Taming the Beast” (Sebastian and Jade) and “The Last Blackstone Dragon” (Hank and Riva). In “Wolf”, the story of Nathan and Violet is a bit of a twist, as Violet is even more of a badass shifter than her Mate.

I like that each type of shifter has his or her positives and negatives when it comes to their animal natures. Just because you’re a powerful animal when you shift, doesn’t exactly mean that you’re completely badass all the time. And that helps ground the story. There’s also a nice nod to consent in this story, something I wish more romance stories did.

Now? On to Luke! 😉

Off the Shelf: “Jazz Legend #1”

Story: Martin Comity, trumpet player, jazz musician. Booze hound. Addict. Martin looks for the next thing to keep his mind occupied. Drink, women, drugs…and then a drug called New Blue comes along. And let’s just say this drug ain’t like anything Martin has tried before.  For one thing, it transports him to another realm of being.  Literally.  Or maybe it’s all just in his burned-out mind?

Best Line“The darkness that follows you! I’ve seen it! Have you?”

“A Wrinkle in Time” – definitely a forehead wrinkler

“We can’t take credit for your faults. It’s how you use them that counts.”

As the movie adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time is a confusing hodgepodge of…stuff?  So will my review be!  Talk like Yoda you will, if seeing this movie you must.

What a complete and utter waste of talent.  Award winning talent.  Jesus, you’ve got Witherspoon, Mbatha-Raw, Kaling, Galifinakis.  OPRAH.  And let’s not forget the incredible directorial talents of Ava DuVernay (Selma, 13th). Yet with the messy disjointed script from Jennifer Lee and Jeff Stockwell, nothing makes sense here.  Nothing. Continue reading
