But I Digress…, Episode 14: My Review of ‘Pacific Rim’

“But I Digress…”

Hosted by Nathan Marchand

“Today, we are cancelling the apocalypse…again!”

After it seemed like everything was keeping me from posting this video, here it is!

I “meet” a famous monster and nearly fire my brother/cameraman/sometimes co-host today before I review the under-appreciated summer blockbuster, “Pacific Rim.” Surprisingly, it’s more than just a series of giant monster vs. giant robot fights. Watch to learn more.

But I Digress…, Episode 13: My Review of ‘Man of Steel’

(My apologies for posting this late. YouTube was giving me issues).

It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane! It’s Nate Marchand!

Superman, the world’s most famous superhero, made his grand return to the big screen after a seven-year absence in “Man of Steel.” But is the movie more powerful than a locomotive? Being a “superfan” myself, I review the film–after doing some “superhero-ing” myself.

You can read my text review of the film on my Superhero Examiner page here: http://www.examiner.com/review/it-s-a-bird-it-s-a-plane-it-s-a-good-superman-reboot.

But I Digress…, Episode 12: A Review of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

I’ve been very busy with several writing and personal projects, so I wasn’t able to film a review for “Star Trek Into Darkness.” However, I managed to get an old friend to do the review for me–none other than Capt. James T. Kirk himself! (Did I mention I’m a HUGE Trekker?)

However, I did see the movie (at midnight) and wrote a review for it on my column for Examiner. You can read it here.

This video is a week late (I’ll be posting about this issue soon), but now it’s done.

There are lots of good out there, but many of them go unnoticed by audiences. This is my short list of flicks that are underrated or under-watched. Do you agree? What movies are on your list? Let me me know in the comments!

But I Digress…, Episode 8: My Review of ‘The Last Stand’

(This video is a few days late, but I blame that on unruly technology).

Who would’ve thought a simple movie review could cause me such trouble in the future?

I was going to sit down and review “Ah-nold” Schwarzenegger’s new action flick,  “The Last Stand,” only to be interrupted by the arrival of the T-800 Terminator! He says he’s here to protect me–but from what? Is “The Last Stand” a worthy return for everyone’s favorite Austrian-bodybuilder-turned-action-star-turned-governor-turned-action-star-again?  These and other burning questions will be answered in this week’s episode!

But I Digress…, Episode 7: The 9 Basic Plots (Part 1)

“But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand

I hate to break it to you, writers, but your plots can never be original. Your stories can be original, but there are only nine types of plots. What are those plots? I list the first four of them in this video. The other five will be discussed in a future. (Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait more than two episodes).

Be sure to wait through the credits for a surprise!

Digression 2: Gun Control and ‘Pandora’s Box’

My next episode isn’t quite finished, but I did have an idea for a spur-of-the-moment “Digression” video, so I hope this tides you over for now. However, it’s on a very serious topical issue: gun control. I don’t usually get political, but this was a point where my politics and creativity combined. I read an excerpt from my novel, “Pandora’s Box,” that illustrates my opinion on the matter.

My next vlog should be posted in a day or two.

(Sorry about the voices in the background. They’re people in the next room. I hope it’s not distracting).

But I Digress…, Epsiode 6: My Upcoming Projects for 2013

“But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand

I was a little late posting this, but it was Christmastime, so I was a little busier than usual. Regardless, in this video I talk about my four biggest writing projects for 2013, including a sequel to my first novel and a fantasy/comedy novel I’ve sent to a publisher. I also make a BIG announcement about an equally big ongoing project that will be starting soon. CHECK IT OUT!

A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy Year!
