Reviews of the top geek movies, tv, and books in the industry.
Netflix's top show was once rejected.
You've seen the tweet. We've all seen the tweet: "Squid Game maker Hwang Dong-hyuk composed the show in 2009 however was dismissed by studios for quite a long time. He once needed to quit composing the content + offer his $675 PC because of cash battles. Today it's #1 in 90 nations + set to turn into the most-watched show in Netflix history."

Endicott College's Mainstage Production 'Noises Off' is a Riot of Laughs
Places are in three! Do you have the sardines? Wait, what do you mean places or now? Bringing a barrel of laughs to the stage, Endicott College opens its mainstage production with Noises Off. A gangle of performers hopelessly try to put their show on its feet. With endless bouts of rumors and cheating between couples, by the end of the night, the show is a complete disaster.

My Review of "Eternals"
Eternals is the latest Marvel movie to come out in theatres. It's been held back for quite some time because of the pandemic but we're finally seeing the overall vision of what phase 4 is all about. This movie is quite a departure of the bubblegum Marvel movies we know and love. That may be a good thing and a bad thing. You don't have quite the usual superhero fare but I found that it was a refreshing look into the way superhero movies could be portrayed.

A Mastery of Mystery
Ok, hear me out. "The Westing Game" may not be the novel everyone is looking for. It's relatively short for a novel, and comes off as a book geared towards a younger audience. Also, being a book originally published in 1978, some of the language and references used may fly over a younger reader's head, especially today in 2021. However, do not let any of these things fool you. "The Westing Game," despite its short length, is a meticulously crafted experience of a story for all ages that will have you in the dark the entire time you first read it. Even re-reading it will have you find new foreshadowing and little nuances each and every time. This is from personal experience too. I've read this book over ten times since I first found it and it still astonishes me how detailed it is and how hidden the answers to the mystery are. If a good mystery isn't to your tastes however, you can simply sit back and enjoy the world and characters that build around you as you read, after all, you aren't the only one that has no idea what is going on behind the scenes, they are in the same boat.
