If you like John Wick, you’ll either love Nobody or hate it. Promise.
“Nobody” is a fun, violent film that is a mix between the first “John Wick” Movie and the 1993 classic, “Falling Down,” starring Michael Douglas. And this makes sense, being that the same guy who wrote “Nobody,” Derek Kolstad, also wrote “John Wick.” That’s great, but “Nobody” recycles so many of the almost exact tropes […]

"The Complexity of Magic delivers a rich and deeply layered continuation of Merrick’s journey, and I found myself pulled in from the first chapter. What stood out most to me was how personal the stakes feel, this isn’t just another elemental clash; it"

“In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!”
