[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/kingdom.mp3] A cynic is likely to look at the release of the Director’s Cut of a movie, scoff openly and accuse the studio or the director of trying to milk a few additional coins out of the movie regardless of its overall merit. And really, I can’t blame them. I like most sane people fear… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Kingdom of Heaven

IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Ladyhawke
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/ladyhawke.mp3] Ah, the 80s. A time of big hair, big money and big ambitions. It was a time when actors could be presidents, MTV actually played music, and a young writer wrapped his hands around the joystick of an Atari 2600 for the first time. Many an afternoon in my house was spent with my… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Ladyhawke
A Christmas Announcement
Among the other things I’ve been ‘meaning to do’ when it comes to the creative endeavors in my life was something I considered doing for a recent competition but did not have the time to do a justifiably decent job.

IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Gamer
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/gamer.mp3] The last time I reviewed a movie that had any connection to a video game, things did not end well.

IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Angels & Demons
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/angelsndemons.mp3] When I was studying English at university, I came across a revelation. It was a place full of distractions that could sap the time and energy of the unwary student, and deadlines do not often change based on a hangover or waking up in an unfamiliar place. However, it is possible, under those circumstances,… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Angels & Demons
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Falling Down
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/fallingdown.mp3] I’m going to go out on a limb and make an assumption about you, the person about to experience this review. If you’re above the age of university graduation, you’re working a job you don’t particularly like. Chances are, instead of being in a place where you do something that not only pays your… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Falling Down
