Geek Girl Navigating the World – Monsterama
I recently read and reviewed The Monster’s Corner edited by Christopher Golden for Bookspotcentral.com, and, on my own time, I’ve been reading through Dean Koontz’ Frankenstein series. While some might be inclined to suspect that this fascination with monsters is a new thing, upon a slight bit of reflection, I’ve come to realize that it actually isn’t.
My first real brush with any kind of monster movie, so to speak, came from my early love of dinosaurs. Yeah, I was a weird kid. From the moment that I learned the word paleontologist, that was pretty much what I was telling people that I wanted to be. I have not, in fact, stopped liking dinosaurs, nor have I entirely given up the idea of wanting to be a paleontologist, the major issue at play here is the fact that the...

In the second installment of the series Wong is asked to tackle the mystery of the theft of The Eye of the Daughter of the Moon, a golfball sized sapphire smuggled from China into the United States. There are several more Wong mysteries that have been available before in box sets but these MODs have been MGMs way of getting such films out as singles. Here's hoping they finish the series.

At 1:15pm last Friday I abandoned a prime piece of New York real estate. Christian Marclay’s 24-hour installation The Clock had been running for the previous four weeks at the Paula Cooper Gallery in Chelsea and on Thursday art critic Jerry Saltz had written in New York Magazine’s Vulture about “The Best Movie You Can See in New York (for Two More Days)”, calling it “My nominee for Best Picture of the year — maybe the best picture ever.” After that all bets were off.
