So I got to see The Dark Knight Rises this past Saturday night and whoa! I had a blast and can't wait to see it again. You can check my review at The Movie411. I got to see it at Ikon, which is this really swank theater in downtown Chicago that has VIP seating. We get to sit in recliner-like seats with call buttons for waitstaff that will bring you goodies and alcohol. What an experience! No 3-D, but I'll take recliners and booze.
In book news, the incredibly talented M. Pax from Wistful Nebulae has a brand new story out, Stopover At The Backworlds Edge. Here is a little bit about this brilliant new tale.
The Backworlds Book 2 is Out!
The sequel to The Backworlds is now available.
Craze and his friends continue their adventures in Stopover
at the Backworlds’ Edge. See what role chocolate plays in the
galaxy this time.
The interstellar portal opens, bringing in a ship that should no longer
exist. A battleship spoiling for a fight, yet the war with Earth ended two
generations ago. The vessel drops off a Water-breather, a type of Backworlder
thought to be extinct. She claims one of Craze’s friends is a traitor who
summoned the enemy to Pardeep Station. A betrayal worse than his father’s, if
Craze lives to worry about it.
Available for all ereaders from:
iTunes and Kobo will be available shortly.
If you haven’t read The Backworlds yet, it’s available
as a free read from many outlets. See HERE for

So what did you all think of The Dark Knight Rises? Have you seen it? Do you want to? Anything cool and exciting you want to share?
Read your review earlier! Mary's books are awesome. The first one in this series was excellent.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I loved Backworlds as well, Mary is an incredible writer.
DeleteThe Dark Knight Rises was spectacular. Nolan forged a cinematic thrust that opened up an ocean of possibilities for aspiring filmmakers. I'll be sure to check out your review at the 411.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on your award! You're a treasure for all us bloggers :)
I concur one hundred percent, Nolan has definitely opened up endless new directions for young filmmakers. Thank for checking out the review, your thoughts are always appreciated.
DeleteThank you! That means a lot to me as I find myself in amazing company here in the blogosphere.
A summer cold? Poor Mel. I hope you feel better already.
ReplyDeleteNo off to The Movie 411! ... but before that - HUGS!
I am starting to feel better, now. For awhile I thought I was going to just remain in abject, nasally misery. :)
DeleteThanks for checking out the review, I know TDKR doesn't open in Bulgaria until later. Hugs rights back!
TDKR was an awesome movie! Hopefully I'll be doing a review this week.
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome, wasn't it? I can't wait to see it again, if my wallet holds out that is. LOL I'll be looking forward to your review.
Deletenot hunting you down with a crowd of torch bearing villagers? Hm, I thought I did send them after you, naughty sister... Did you bribe them with whiskey or did Victor chase them away?
ReplyDeleteThanks for finally explaining to me what a hump day is, I always wanted to know but was afraid to ask : )
No bribery this time, Victor chased them all away...He's such a handsome and skilled guardian. ;P
DeleteI'm glad I could clear up Hump Day for you. It sometimes can be awkward when you want to know, but there's no real good way to ask. I've been there plenty of times myself. :)
Melissa, I'm reading the behind-the-scenes book right now and the movie is insanely cool. That's all I can say really.
ReplyDeleteThe behind-the-scenes-book?!! How cool is that? I'll have to check that out. I love reading about movies almost as much as I love watching them. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteRecliners and booze? You can;t beat that. What a great way to watch a movie.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that this is probably the very best way to experience a movie in a theater. I will definitely be doing this for The Hobbit. :)
DeleteOoo. Sounds like it was a good movie then. Thanks for the shoutout, Melissa, I really appreciate it. :D Let me know if I can do any promoting for you.
ReplyDeleteYou should check out The Dark Knight rises as soon as you, Mary. it was a blast. You are most welcome on the shout out. Anytime you got something, I am putting it here. And thanks, too, for the promo offer. You rock!
DeleteGonna see TDKR this weekend - excited!
ReplyDeleteRewatched BB & TDK just a few days ago. Now I'm totally pumped for it.
Congrats on your award!! :)
Thanks! I re-watched both flicks to get myself in the spirit as well. You are going to love this flick. :)
