Alex Craft returns in Kalayna Price’s third novel, Grave Memory, searching for the reason why people are committing suicide. More importantly, she is looking for answers as to why their shades don’t remember days leading up to the suicide. Alex is a Grave Witch so she can summon their shades, the last memories of dead people, talk to ghosts and soul collectors, and use her grave magic as a weapon. Alex is also dealing with the effects of her new powers that go beyond grave magic, and having Death pop into her life once again after several weeks of not being around.

Garbage Not Your Kind of People: CD Review

2012 Articles, Jesus Ibarra, Music, Teens

by Jesus Ibarra

My only reaction to finally being able to listen to Garbage’s Not Your Kind of People, announced late last year, is FINALLY! Garbage is back, baby, and they are in perfect form. After a seven year break from the band, Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Duke Erickson and Steve Marker reformed to break out on their own, Trent Reznor style, forming their own label, releasing their album on their own terms, and setting their own tour schedule.

Brave: Movie Review

2012 Articles, Jesus Ibarra, Movies

by Jesus Ibarra

Pixar’s latest animated film stars hopefully a new Disney princess, Merida. Set in Scotland during the 10th century, the princess defies the old age custom of marrying the first-born son of the clan chiefs under her father’s rule by competing for her own hand to avoid getting married. All this much to the chagrin of her mother, the Queen Elinor, who has been preparing her, her entire life as a princess.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter: Movie Review

2012 Articles, Jesus Ibarra, Movies

by Jesus Ibarra

What if arguably one of our best Presidents turned out to be a vampire hunter? Well now we know what that would look like in the film adaptation of the book by the same name. Benjamin Walker has the unfortunate task of selling Lincoln as not only a brilliant passionate legal mind but also a strong kickass vampire hunter, and I have to say he pulled it off.

Prometheus: Movie Review

2012 Articles, Jesus Ibarra, Movies

by Jesus Ibarra

Ridley Scott’s much awaited return to the sci-fi genre sought to answer where we come from in the aptly named Prometheus, which is also the name of the spaceship in the movie. What started out as a prequel to the beloved 1979 film Alien starring Sigourney Weaver, became its own stand-alone film that takes place roughly thirty years before the events of Alien, and only set in the same universe.

Burn Notice: TV Review

2012 Articles, Jesus Ibarra, Mysteryrat's Maze, TV

by Jesus Ibarra

A show about cast out spies, Burn Notice delivers roaring action, great family dynamics, and a good love story between its leads. I don’t know why I waited so long to catch up with this show and am glad I didn’t wait any longer.

Snow White and the Huntsman: Movie Review

2012 Articles, Fantasy & Fangs, Jesus Ibarra, Movies

by Jesus Ibarra

The second and darker of the Snow White films was released this weekend headlined by Charlize Theron as the evil Queen, and Chris Hemsworth as the titular character the Huntsman, with Kristen Stewart as the all-important Snow White. Notice how I didn’t say that Kristen Stewart headlined this movie because all the marketing was firmly to put emphasis on Charlize Theron (an established headliner) and Chris Hemsworth, Thor himself, to the forefront to draw people in.

Teen Wolf: TV Review

2012 Articles, Fantasy & Fangs, Jesus Ibarra, TV

by Jesus Ibarra

If you had told me before last summer that MTV would start making great scripted shows, I would have laughed at you. If you had told me that that show would be a re-imagining on the popular Teen Wolf movie from the 80s that featured teenagers and lacrosse, I would have told you that you have no idea what good television is.
