Quarterly review: FY14Q3
Each quarter I do a quick roundup of the book and film reviews that I do on Goodreads and Letterboxd. These reviews are too short and off-the-cuff to be included with the more indepth reviews I do on this site. Books Well, I completed my my 2014 Goodreads reading challenge a bit earlier than usual.…

The best of 2013
See last year’s roundup. Besides work and family, I get enjoyment out of books and film. In terms of books, this year was a pretty serious one for me. I was able to acheive my Goodreads goal (again). It says 50, but if you minus off the graphic novels, coursework and essays it is more…

Quarterly review: FY13Q1
Upon finishing a particularly thought-provoking book or film I will sometimes spend a few days mulling it over before writing a review on this blog. Sometimes I just dash off a quick review on Goodreads or Letterboxd. For the sake of completeness, I thought that each quarter I would post my list of off-the-cuff reviews.…

Negative 3D — A technical review of The Hobbit
I finally saw The Hobbit in 3D HFR. The experience overall was a good one. Watching the regular 24fps previews and then the actual film was like night and day. You could tell right when the Newline Cinema logo floated onto the screen that this would be different. I would recommend reading Kevin Kelly’s explanation…
