Michael Abayomi: February 2015

http://www.michaelabayomi.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Monday, 23 February 2015. The 87th Academy Awards. Overall, I was a bit disappointed that Boyhood didn't win Best Picture, and that Wes Anderson didn't win Best Original Screenplay for The Grand Budapest Hotel. But there is no denying the sheer brilliance of Birdman, which won in both categories. The last time a dark comedy cleaned out like that was with American Beauty in 1999, so it is nice to know that the academy still has love for such movies. Monday, 9 February 2015. The ceremony was brought to an ...

Michael Abayomi: September 2014

http://www.michaelabayomi.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Monday, 22 September 2014. I was making my way through the blog feeds on my reading list earlier today, when I spotted the ongoing Underrated Treasures Blogfest. Hosted by Alex J. Cavanaugh, the blogfest serves as an opportunity to highlight any book, movie, TV series or musician/band you feel hasn't gotten nearly enough recognition. So without further ado, I present one of my favorite, underrated movies. I have chosen to highlight Guillermo Del Toro's 1997 sci-fi/horror film, Mimic. Why? But like most B...

Michael Abayomi: July 2015

http://www.michaelabayomi.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 22 July 2015. The movie opens in 1989, where we see a scientist known as Hank Pym (the original Ant-Man and creator of the Pym Particle) refusing to let his shrinking technology get militarized. This results in a rift between him and his protégé, Darren Cross, the movie's villain, who in the present day is in charge of Pym Technologies and has managed to replicate the technology in a shrinking suit of his own, the Yellowjacket. Wednesday, 1 July 2015. IWSG: Getting Social, the Professional Way.

Michael Abayomi: June 2015

http://www.michaelabayomi.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Monday, 15 June 2015. Jurassic World (Movie Review). Yep The poster says it all really. But as preposterous as the scene depicted on the poster might seem, the latest entry in the Jurassic Park series proves that watching a bunch of dinosaurs running loose and causing havoc is still as fun today as it was 22 years ago, when the first movie was released. Wednesday, 3 June 2015. IWSG: Under the Weather. And those interested in joining in can visit www.insecurewriterssupportgroup.com. Have its silver lining.

Michael Abayomi: August 2015

http://www.michaelabayomi.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Monday, 17 August 2015. Two months ago, the heavy metal band known as Disturbed took fans by surprise when they announced the August 21st release of their sixth studio album, Immortalized, an announcement that was sweetened by the instant availability of its lead single, The Vengeful One. This was following a rather lengthy gap since the 2011 release of their compilation album, The Lost Children. And it effectively brought an end to their hiatus. Wednesday, 5 August 2015.

Michael Abayomi: November 2014

http://www.michaelabayomi.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 5 November 2014. It's the first Wednesday of the month, and time for members of the Insecure Writer's Support Group to share their writerly insecurities. The group was started by Alex J. Cavanaugh. And those interested in joining in can visit www.insecurewriterssupportgroup.com. I am presently taking a leaf from Tony Laplume's. This approach proved successful for Tony. Last year, so I am hoping to replicate that success somewhat, without aiming to do so, if that makes any sense. By my esti...
