Book Review: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Publisher: Scholastic Publishing Date: August 24 2010 Genre: YA, Dystopian Format: Paperback Page count: 458 My rating: Katniss’s final act of rebellion in the Quarter Quell Hunger Games in Catching Fire starts a revolution that she is fated to lead as the famous ‘Mockingjay’ – the symbol of the very rebellion she tried so hard to avoid. Mockingjay was […]

Film review: Captain America (2011)
Captain America (2011) is our final Avengers film before our intrepid Avengers assemble. This film is a little different than its sister films Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor: it’s still an origins film, but it’s more of a war film than a superhero film. This, I think, contributes to why it is my […]
Audio Book Review: Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Publisher: Buzzy Multimedia Publishing Publishing Date: February 2 2003 Genre: Urban Fantasy Format: Audio Book (unabridged) My rating: Storm Front did not seem like my kind of book. A family member has been pestering me to read them, and I have resisted, only because it does not sound like ‘my’ kind of thing. I mean sure, urban fantasy, a […]

Film review: Thor (2011)
Kenneth Branagh’s beautifully directed epic superhero film Thor, released in 2009/2010, follows the adventures of Marvel’s version of the Norse mythological god, Thor – the god of thunder. BAM! Even though these gods age, Thor is still a young man in this film, and his arrogance and certainty of his own sense of entitlement means […]
