Soylent Screen!

This will seem somewhat random to many of my readers, but I'm now reviewing movies on a regular basis. What does this have to do with urban nature? Nada. But I figured some of you might dig my writing, regardless of subject, and I suspect many of you fall into the Sci-fi/Horror/Fantasy fan category (I understand this is now called "speculative fiction." So be it.)

My reviews are under the name "Soylent Screen," at the magazine "Blood, Blade, and Thruster." My first review is of "Hot Fuzz." Hope you like it!

I liked it better than Shaun of the Dead. The fat guy wasn't as annoying in this movie. Do I have a future as a movie critic. Uh, yeah!

I liked your review though. Especially the twist on the movie watching zombies part.

Apparently your review is so powerful that the site is all wonky now! Well, just parts of it are. Someone will fix it.

And I feel the same way about 'speculative fiction'. Isn't all fiction speculative?

Hmmm. I may get a column out of this...

EXACTLY.
