Movie Review-Godzilla
Movie Review: Godzilla I always give spoilers so consider yourself warned. Colleen’s Movie Review Romance: No real romance going on in this movie. Unless you count the Muto Monsters which are apparently so secret I can’t even find a picture of them on the internet. This is the closest thing I can find. Special Effects: So mind blowing good I couldn’t even attempt to describe them. The best effects I’ve seen in a long, long time. What I Liked: The monsters. They were so awesome that every time they were on screen, it was magical. I was utterly transfixed by their coolness. …
Movie Review: The Amazing Spider-man 2
Movie Review: The Amazing Spider-man 2 Colleen’s Movie Review Romance: The romance between Peter Parker and Emma Stone…er Andrew Garfield and Gwen Stacy er…you know what I mean. Feels as real as it is. It’s cute. It’s sweet. It wasn’t much of a stretch to believe these two are in love. Special Effects: Pretty awesome. I can’t think of anything I didn’t like. Would really like the super desk that belongs to Harry Osborn. What I Liked: The villains. The eels. The fact that Spider-man was totally willing to follow Gwen. The cuteness of their relationship. What I’d Change: Not much of anything really. …

Sunken Cities- Houck’s Inspiration for TIGER’S VOYAGE
ARTICLE FEATURING- MAHABALIPURAM & THE CITY OF THE SEVEN PAGODAS I first came across the story of Mahabalipuram and the City of the Seven Pagodas when I was researching sunken cities for Tiger’s Voyage. The whole story of a jealous Indian god sinking six of the temples in a storm while leaving one lone temple behind was fascinating to me and I knew I wanted to add that myth into my book. Layering real historical events and places mixed together with fantasy elements is something that I really appreciate in novels. It’s fun to imagine a special site that …
