CollectionsAs difficult as it is fucking epic, a meandering and often hallucinatory feast of literary bliss. If you're looking for a leisurely afternoon romp, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a rewarding and challenging read, then step right up and lose yourself in Pynchon's vast and complex universe.

Less Than Zero review
Posted : 14 years, 6 months ago on 12 May 2010 04:06
(A review of Less Than Zero)Ellis masterfully explores a nihilistic teenage wasteland, filled to the brim with cocaine and despair. Through startlingly realistic (and simplistic) imagery, he crafts an unnervingly bleak tale of apathy, channeling the voices of Camus and Salinger.
The unblinkingly casual narrative makes it all the more horrifying.

Black Hole review
Posted : 14 years, 6 months ago on 12 May 2010 04:05
(A review of Black Hole)Erotic, yet nauseating. Hopeful, yet bleak.
One of the most human graphic novels I've encountered, reads as good as it looks. Burns' distinct illustrative style in stark black and white creates a duality of comfort and fear. Visceral and hallucinatory, perhaps hypnotic, there is a constant pairing of warm, sensual familiarity and inimical sickening estrangement.
A relatively quick read, but leaves you thinking long afterward.

Top 10 worst movies 1986 (10 movies items)"Crawlspace!? Klaus Kinski was great in this one, and veritably creepy. Sure it had some cheese, but worst of '86? Did you sleep through it?"

Greatest Horror Films of the 2000s (40 movies items)"Enjoyed 'Splinter' for it's cheese factor, pretty good popcorn flick. Loved 'Them' and 'Timecrimes', although not sure the latter really counts as horror. 'Mothman Prophecies' gave me the creeps when"

Crime Does Not Pay - The Best TV Crime Shows (10 tv items)"This actually seems to me like some of the WORST crime shows. Ever heard of The Shield? Dexter? Anything besides a million iterations of CSI and Law and Order?"
