One line in this book that I couldn’t stop thinking. It’s the kind of quote that doesn’t just apply to the world of dragons and politics, it’s everywhere.

If you like fantasy with brains behind the brawn, this is a must-read.
Fantastic Four (2015) had the cast, the concept, and even a bit of eerie charm, but somewhere between the edit room and the final cut, something went sideways. There’s a better movie hidden inside this one... shame we didn’t get to see it.
In a small town, everyone thinks they know you: Charlie is a hardcore rocker, who's not as tough as he looks. Hammer is a footy jock with big AFL dreams, and an even bigger ego.

It felt like Marvel … Continue reading Ironheart (Season Review) | Magic, Metal, and a Messy Gray Hero
The Old Guard 2 opens with a bang and dives deep into immortal lore, but between retcons, sidelined characters, and a bold cliffhanger, this sequel might leave you more curious than satisfied. If you’re wondering whether it was worth the wait, read on.
What sets this book apart isn’t just the legacy of Bruce Lee, it’s how deeply it leans into the uncomfortable truth: what we earn changes us more than what we’re given. Shannon and Fonda Lee blend personal philosophy with hard-won insight, and the result? A guide to living with intention, not just ambition.
