Friday Fiction: A Flower for Him
Today, dear readers, we have a tragedy. Not horror, not violent, but full of loss.
It Came From The Archives “MOVIE REVIEW: Shadows on the Wall (2015)”
Independent filmmaking is an important part of American cinema. Films that aren’t tied to massive budgets or governed by large studios tend to be more free to take risks and explore new possibilities of stories and their telling.
It Came From The Archives “Volition: Deceptively Brilliant Science Fiction”
Whatever the number, not enough people have seen this film. So, I’m bringing back an old review to remind you how cool this time-travel feature really is. Originally Published: July 22nd, 2020 Volition Is Much Smarter Than It Initially Seems Volition was the movie I didn’t know I needed. It was refreshing and enjoyable to get…
Friday Fiction: I Stand Upon The Moon
This is a melancholy one, folks. A short story, but a lot of emotions. It asks a dark question: can you find beauty at the end of the world?
The Tomorrow War: Secretly Not A War Movie

The Dust Reviews, Volume 2
Too long ago, I announced a series where I would periodically review a few movies from the Dust YouTube channel. Well, it’s finally time to return. I’ve selected three short films. Each is different. Each is exciting. And each shows a wildly different future.
The Adam Project: Tropey and Deeply Emotional
I will not say The Adam Project is a unique movie. Barring a few moments of extreme narrative creativity, it’s got all the tropes you’d expect and runs through them with a blistering pace.
It Came From The Archives! “Upload: Excellent Science Fiction, Satire, and Romance”
(With season two already out, I figured it was as good a time as any to bring back my original review of this complex and clever series. If you’ve not caught up, this might convince you.) Originally Published: June 8th, 2020 Upload Is Some Excellent Science Fiction Upload was on my watch list for months before…
