Speculating Saw: Deep Deconstruction of the SAW Franchise

The infamous Saw franchise started back in 2004 and was immediately met with mixed reviews. For the most part, they’re the sort of movies that you love, hate, or love to hate, and people usually form pretty strong opinions about them. Regardless of personal views about the films, it’s hard to deny the massive impact that they made in the horror community, as this is possibly the most influential modern horror franchise in current existence. What this article is going to do is take a […]

The Guest: Trailer and Thoughts

The Guest is a movie that has been out for a while, but I sadly have not found the time to go out and see it yet. To be perfectly honest, the trailer didn’t leave me feeling particularly excited about the film and it’s only been recently that I feel compelled to see it on the big screen. Now that I’ve heard a little more about it I’m kicking myself for not going when I had the chance, and am hoping to find the time […]

Game of Thrones: Mother’s Mercy

I have been so excited all week for the season finale, albeit somewhat nervous. There has been a lot of disturbing stuff happening this season, and the 10th episode (while usually not the worst) always has some shocking moments and the general tone of the show isn’t exactly what I would call uplifting, particularly lately. All worries and concerns aside, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what’s going to happen ever since episode 9 finished airing. It starts back at Stannis’ camp, and […]

Game of Thrones: Dance of Dragons

Words just cannot express how much I’ve been looking forward to this week’s episode of the show. If you’ve been watching from the beginning, then you may have noticed that the 9th episode of the season tends to be the most climactic, and after the intensely frightening army of the dead in episode 8 of this season, the bar was set pretty high. The episode starts with Stannis’ camp catching fire. Melissandre goes out to see what’s going on and then tents just start burning. […]

Game of Thrones: Hardhome

Game of Thrones

After seeing Tyrion and Jorah finally make it to Daenerys last week, I was on the edge of my seat to see what would happen this week and whether or not it would correlate to the books. I honestly had no idea what to expect going into this week. The episode opens inside one of the Meereen pyramids with Daenerys questioning Tyrion. He tells her about how he got there and how what he knows of her. He makes his case as to why she […]

Game of Thrones: The Gift

I have to be honest, I was a little bit tentative to watch this week, as I’m still appalled by last week’s conclusion. Hoping that at the very least it couldn’t get any worse, I decided to go ahead and dive right in. This weeks starts with Jon Snow and other Night’s Watch men gearing up to range North and retrieve the other wildlings from North of the Wall, something that many of them are still not thrilled about. Jon leaves Ser Alliser Thorn in […]

Game of Thrones: Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken

I got the Apple TV working (sort of) and was all set to watch Game of Thrones on time this week. The episode is titled after the Martell House words, fitting since this is the episode where they finally, finally get back to the Dorne storyline – but that’s not all that this episode had in store for us. I absolutely loved last weeks episode, but it didn’t answer any questions for the storyline in King’s Landing, Braavos or Dorne, and those were all touched […]

Game of Thrones: Kill the Boy

Not to start off with editorializing, but this was the worst episode viewing experience for me before I ever even got around to watching it. This was my first week watching with HBO Now and getting that up was such a hassle. I think that being able to pay for HBO on its own is a great idea, but the execution needs a lot of work, and I mean a lot. I honestly thought I wouldn’t even be able to watch it today and getting […]

Game of Thrones: Sons of the Harpy

This episode was where the season took a dark turn I noticed, and for Game of Thrones to take a dark turn, it must be pretty serious. The episode opens on a man getting out of a boat, and he is soon hit over the head by none other than Jorah Mormont, who is still in possession of Tyrion Lannister. He steals the boat, tosses Tyrion on board and heads out for the open water. On another boat, we see Ser Jaime Lannister and Bronn […]

Game of Thrones: High Sparrow

I’ve read a lot about this season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, and people who worked on the show are saying that this is the season that starts to take the show in a different direction from the books. If I didn’t see it in previous episodes, I definitely do now, and this episode more than any other has broken the expectations that the books left me with. It has only made me more excited to see what happens, since I don’t know what’s coming […]
