The Rats in the Wall and The Outsider
H.P. Lovecraft I can in no way claim to be an "old" fan of the works of H.P. Lovecraft. I was only introduced to his stories a year ago by a good friend of mine. I started with Forsaken, Innsmouth, The Shunned House and some other versions of his work. Since reading Lovecraft's classic horror stories, I have gained insight in some of that peculiar madness that follows his first person gothic writings. Some might even call his stories the ideas and dreams of a mad man. Much has been stated about H.P. Lovecraft and his early life. Sadly the

Our Epic Take on Mad Max: Fury Road!
For this review on Mad Max Fury Road, I am going to split in two - my end opinion and then my opinion. Mad Max Fury Road is possibly the best action movie that I've seen in a long, long time. In a era where CGI has taken over action movies, it’s refreshing to see an action movie done with no real cartoon physics. Go see Mad Max Fury Road (if possible) on the big screen. It demands to be seen on the big screen. Also if you are in Bloemfontein, South Africa, go watch it at Northridge Cinemas. It’s
Awesome Star Wars Episode 7 Trailer Has Been Released!
The opening shot of the second trailer is pure genius, it shows the remains of the war - from the crashed X-wing in the front, to the massive remains of the Star Destroyer in the back. This shows us that the days of the Empire is done and that it has been years since the last galactic war. We then hear Luke saying: "The Force is strong in my family". It continues through the trailer like this: “The Force is strong in my family, My Father has it, I have it, my sister has it, you have that power too.”

Celebrating the Life and Legacy of the Amazing Sir Terry Pratchett
On 12 March 2015 (yesterday) we lost one of the true originals in the world of fantasy novels - Sir Terry Pratchett at age 66. He passed away in his home with his cat sleeping on his bed whilst being surrounded by his family. With over 70 books to his name and best known for creating The Discworld, a series of fantasy comedy novels that have captured the hearts of many, this is a true loss. From fan favourites such as Nobby Nobbs, Death, Rincewind, Minstrum Ridcully and Sam Vimes, his stories always felt more alive than those of the
