Veronica Reviews ‘Finch’ Post Apocalyptic #SciFi Movie

I enjoyed “Finch,” the new dystopian offering on Apple+ TV and even though it’s long at 2 hours 34 minutes, I wasn’t bored at any point.

Why I Wrote KYDEN A #SciFi Romance Gladiator Novel

When I was a kid, I used to watch the old “sword and sandal” movies on the local TV station on weekend afternoons and I loved them! Something about the gladiators of ancient Rome really appealed to me and especially as a venue for telling good stories. In particular I loved “Demetrius and the Gladiators” and pretty much any version of “Last Days of Pompeii,” but especially the 1984 TV miniseries with Duncan Regehr as the gladiator Lydon. Oh yessss…..I also hugely enjoyed the first season of “Spa...
