The Wearin' of the Green (fun placeholder)

Hello out there! Yes, it really has been forever and a day (erm, at least) since I posted. Just one thing after another, so far this year... which is frustrating, since I've had two separate reviews started--and waiting--on my desktop for... [gulp]... a looong time, now. Ah, well... I promise something new, soon. Really. :)

 For now, please enjoy a little boycat, in the spirit of all-things-Irish day. (And no, if you rub/kiss on his belly three times, it does not automatically confer good luck upon you. It does, however, win you purrs, which is a whole 'nother sort of wonderful magic.)

Desperation, Loneliness, and Murder (science fiction book REVIEW of Earthrise)

Image
Generalizations to be made about humankind abound... but for right now, let’s go with something on the lines of,   “after humans have completely effed up one place, it’s a sure thing they’ll soon seek out the next place to take over (and immediately set about effing it up in similar fashion)” .   I mean, it’s pretty much one of our signature moves.     It isn’t much of a stretch, then, to envision a not-that-far-off future in which we’ve plundered all of Earth’s once-bountiful resources, along with overpopulating our planet to the point of having to seek out new digs to inhabit...  namely, the Moon .   But what comes after  that ... once the Moon—with its considerably smaller size and limited resources—has likewise been pillaged and overrun by greedy bipedal interlopers?   The next, most-obvious (meaning,  least-inhospitable of all remotely-viable options ) candidate, of course. The Red Planet. Mars.   The thing is, we humans are never content with  just  brutal pioneering. No, we come

The Real-Life Temperance Brennan: Kathy Reichs on a Case

Image
It's a case of life imitating art-- as well as art mirroring life-- when it comes to bestselling author Kathy Reichs and her always-engrossing mystery series featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Since first springing onto the scene in 1997 with her debut novel, Deja Dead , Reichs has consistently delivered intelligent, unputdownable tales depicting the painstaking work that goes into piecing together the last moments of someone's life through the study of the bones left behind. There's an excellent reason for the success of this series; these books are, of course, grounded in real science. Reichs herself holds the same dual positions as forensic anthropologist in North Carolina and Montreal, Quebec as does heroine Dr. Tempe Brennan, so she really knows her stuff. Fortunately for the reader, though, she manages to avoid the pitfalls that sometimes trap other experts who try their hand at writing--that of coming across textbook-dull, or of being patronizing

A Different Spin on "Phantom"... (classic movie REVIEW)

Image
Musicals and I have a complicated relationship. I mean, the whole notion of randomly busting-out-into-song-(and-dance!)-in-the-middle-of-anything-(or-nothing) is— let’s face it —kinda odd.   And don’t even get me started on the songs, themselves. (No, really…  don’t get me started . I could go on for a painfully-long time about how much I dislike everything about, say,  The Sound of Music .)   But, put a  rock  musical in front of me, and you’ve got my attention.     Over the years, I’ve seen my share of those.  Grease .  Hair.   The Wall.   Jesus Christ Superstar.   Rock of Ages .  Tommy .  We Will Rock You .  Hairspray .  Moulin Rouge .  The Rocky Horror Picture Show  (which I’ll never really “get” the  cult obsession over, but whatever).   All of which brings me to right now. 2022. When I’ve been asked— challenged, even! —by someone close to me, to watch and review a previously-unheard-of (by me) classic, from 1974…  Phantom of the Paradise .    So, alrighty then. Challenge accepted
