Rock Paper Scissors, TEN! A Doctor Who Discussion

Welcome to LAS's final Doctor Who Discussion of the series! Read on to find out what J.A. Prentice and Jaden C. Kilmer thought of the episode and the series as a whole. There are SPOILERS ahead. Jaden: Holy shit. (That's my way of saying I've seen the episode.) JA: That was my reaction too. Hopefully in the same...

A Lightless Realm

Blacker than black. Endless, lightless, infinite.  A canvas painted only in the deepest, darkest colours stretched as far as the eye could see. This was her world: a lightless, shapeless, timeless void where she tumbled, her breath fogging up the inside of her visor, her motions restricted by the white suit that bound her like...

The Internet Can’t Decide if Rogue One is the Best or Worst Thing Ever

If you ask me, Disney's Star Wars Episode III.5, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is awful. It's a cynical and lazy epitomization of all that's wrong with movie franchises these days. It's the second worst movie of the year. If you ask J.A., Disney's Star Wars Episode III.5, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a very good...

Rogue One is a less enjoyable experience than eating an above-average burrito

When I went to go see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story last Saturday, I went in full of hope and an empty stomach. My burrito which I got on my lunch break at work and did not have time to unwrap, was left in the back seat of my car for a late night snack. Somewhere...

The Worst Thing in the History of Everything Ever – Reviewing Attack of the Clones

I'm borrowing I Hate Everything's tagline here because there isn't a more eloquent way to put it. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones is the worst thing in the history of everything ever. George Lucas had two years to revise the things that went wrong in The Phantom Menace and learn from the criticism it got to...

In Defense of The Phantom Menace

  The 1999 release of The Phantom Menace has got to be one of the weirder events in cinema history. A full two decades after the release of Star Wars, the OG blockbuster franchise returned to expand its universe and tell the story of one of the most iconic villains in all of movies. It was perhaps...

Arrival is a movie made for Interstellar’s (And The Martian’s) Critics

I think the only thing everyone can agree upon in regards to Interstellar is that it is one of the most polarizing movies of recent years. Look no further than this blog. J.A. Prentice adores it, while my reaction was more "meh." I wanted to like it because the movie was aiming to be one that married...

No Man’s Playing

There's two questions on the lips of thousands of people who pre-ordered No Man's Sky. "So... now what?" followed by "is that it?" There may never be another game like this. The idea is extraordinary. If you haven't heard, then I'll let creator Sean Murray pitch it to you; here's what he said in an interview...

Three Line Tales – A Star to Sail Her By

The ship sails through the dark oceans of infinity, white hull shining in starlight. So far from home, they see the swirling clouds beyond, the shimmer of the universe. "Forward," the captain says and they blaze ahead, beyond anything they have ever known,  into an endless horizon. This is for Three Line Tales, Week 19....

The Martian- Movie Review(s)

On Friday, both Joshua (JA Prentice) and I went to see Ridley Scott's The Martian in theatres. I had read the book, (and wrote a review about it!) he had not. We do, however, both love science-fiction and critiquing things. After a brief odyssey involving the world's most specifically placed and inconveniently timed traffic-jam which forced us to watch...
