It was kind of nice to see Krentz stepping back from her paranormal series. This was a typical mainstream mystery, complete with sociopaths and serial killers. I enjoyed the suspense and mystery of it … right up until the reveal. It’s tough to review mysteries because so often the problem is with the ending, and […]

Movie Review: Gravity

I watched Gravity on DVD. Gravity is a story of survival in space. This wasn’t a bad movie. There are plenty of good things I could say about it, mostly in terms of cinematography. It was a beautiful movie, and all of it was filmed to make the actors look like they were in the weightlessness […]
