Dungeons and Dragons
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ opening weekend has reflected just how appreciated this movie is. Dungeons and Dragons is a hilarious and unexpectedly emotional adventure movie that was true to its source material. There have been many attempts at a Dungeons and Dragons inspired movies but they all missed the mark because they were made by people who had clearly never played the RPG. Most of the past attempts are campy, but not in a good way. They also didn’t have the budget of the current attempt. Honor Among Thieves makes D&D fans proud. Nerds and normies alike will enjoy this funny, adventure film.

Tales From The Gas Station Volume 1-3 (Book Review)
Surrealistic fiction is a minor genre that denotes to stories where the fantastical and the absurd happens oftentimes in a seemingly contemporary, ordinary-like, setting, to the point that such absurdity becomes normal to the characters and the world itself. Inspired by early 20th century surrealistic art (originating from the mind of the great Salvadore Dali), it’s no question that surrealistic fiction is most common in comics and animated films and shows, like Regular Show, One Punch Man, and Scott Pilgrim. The genre sometimes overlap with other similar categories like post-modern fiction, parody, metahumor, pop culture fiction, and of course, comedy.

Casino Royale (Book Review)
There’s no denying how much James Bond has become an icon of popular culture. His impact can be seen simply from his lines, appearances, drinks, cars, girls, and the enemies he has to face. His influence in the spy fiction genre is also unmatched, and he is the trope codifier of the genre as equivalent to Sherlock Holmes when it comes to detective fiction and Superman when it comes to superhero fiction. Most people know James Bond from his successful films — a series that spans generations and beloved by critics, fans, and any other average consumer. But these films are mere adaptations. Bond first came to life in the novels of the great Ian Fleming. If the movie series is acclaimed by many, what about the James Bond novels?
