Way Back When I always purchase at least two tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival every year during their spring sale. Last year, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to visit TRF. This year, my daughter and I decided to make a spontaneous trip to the festival (with two tickets in tow). We arrived about thirty minutesContinue reading “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year: A Visit To The Texas Renaissance Festival!”

Throwback Thursday: Dragonheart (1996)
In The Days Of Dragons Just over twenty years ago, Dragonheart was released in theaters. It told the story of Bowen, a knight of the Old Code, and Draco, believed to be the last living dragon on Earth, who join forces to take on the evil King Einon, a tyrant that has a unique connectionContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Dragonheart (1996)”
Throwback Thursday: The Goonies (1985)
They Are Good Enough 1985 will go down in history as one of my favorite years. The NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) was test marketed in the United States, eventually leading to a countrywide roll out early in 1986. Artists such as Duran Duran, Madonna, The Cure, and Bruce Springsteen had huge hits on pop radio. TransformersContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Goonies (1985)”
Throwback Thursday: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
What’s This? I apologize for posting two Tim Burton related Throwback Thursday topics in a row, but with Halloween right around the corner, you really can’t blame me. Also, The Nightmare Before Christmas celebrates its twenty fifth anniversary on October 29th of this year, so it’s a perfect time to highlight this wonderful classic. ForContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)”
Calcasieu Serialfest Chapter 5!
Sulphur, LA If you’ve ever enjoyed watching films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Rocketeer, Star Wars, or almost any of the current crop of superhero films, you owe a little debt of gratitude to the classic serials of the early twentieth century. Almost every aspect of modern action and adventure films hasContinue reading “Calcasieu Serialfest Chapter 5!”
“It’s Risky, But It’s Worth A Try”
In that galaxy far, far away… Apparently Solo: A Star Wars Story is a major flop for Disney. From what I’ve read, the film needs to make around $500 million just to break even and as of this writing, it’s crawling just beyond $350 million and things aren’t looking too good for the film. TheContinue reading ““It’s Risky, But It’s Worth A Try””
Focus On: Alan Cumming
A True Star Welcome to the first of what I hope is many editions of Focus On, where I’ll showcase one performer, artist, or band that has greatly influenced my life in some way. Each post will briefly introduce readers to the artist, and hopefully encourage them to seek out more of the artist’s work.Continue reading “Focus On: Alan Cumming”
Stuff And Thangs
It’s Almost Here! In my last post, I mentioned that I was going to apply for a press pass for CyPhaCon in Lake Charles, LA. I did so on that very same day and I am happy to say that I was approved! If you are attending CyPhaCon, let me know in the comments! IContinue reading “Stuff And Thangs”
A Split Decision
Aboard The Cloverfield Station The Cloverfield Paradox is a paradox in more ways than one. For starters, it’s production was full of scheduling changes, story additions, ties to the Cloverfield universe supposedly shoehorned into the film, production company changes, etc. While these types of changes are par for the course in many major films, TCPContinue reading “A Split Decision”
Aro Lucha Live!
Beaumont, TX Friday evening found my son and I deep in the heart of east Texas. We attended an Aro Lucha show at the Beaumont Civic Center. In the last year my son has really taken a lot of interest in lucha libre, a form of professional wrestling originated and perfected in Mexico. I’ve encouragedContinue reading “Aro Lucha Live!”
