Bloodborne Non-review. It’s Knightmare for adults

Interstellar Review – I still don’t know if it was good
I love a film that challenges me, makes me think outside the box and lets me enter into discussion about the meaning behind it. Interstellar challenges me in a different way. It challenges my ability to review
Five excuses for watching wrestling after 30

Choosing To Read A Fantasy Series – Part 3 – Nothing will be the same
Reading my first multi-book fantasy series taught me a lot. It changed the way I read and the way I write. There were many struggles, but in the end a book series and the experiences you gain reading one change you fundamentally. Nothing is the same after you finish and for me that was a good thing.

Sabotage Review – Schwarzenegger name adds to interesting genre subversion
The set up is pretty standard. Schwarzenegger leads a rag-tag group of DEA agents in a brutal assault on a drug baron’s mansion. The most striking scenes at the beginning hinge on the foul language between the group and the hatred the normal viewer develops for the group.
Choosing to read a fantasy series- Part 2 – The Void
I always had this desire to read a book version of a decade long siege like we hear off in the appendices of Lord of The Rings. I want to read about the siege that forced Sauron to come down to battle the last alliance. I don’t want it to be a footnote.
WWE Fastlane struggles through the gears
The new PPV event Fastlane was a mixed bag. In front of a less than enthusiastic Memphis crowd the event seemed to be more of a place holder than a genuine event in its own right.

The WWE has been mulling over a rumour this week that Brock Lesnar is to stay beyond the expiration of his current contract this year and wrestle past Wrestlemania. WWE […]
50 Shades? – If only the film was that complex

WWE must establish a Roman Empire in 2015
I wrote a few weeks ago about the fan backlash after Roman Reigns won the Royal Rumble https://established82.com/2015/01/26/wwe-royal-rumble-2015-causes-more-unrest-among-fans/. With the events on Monday night Raw this past week an obvious […]
