The Choices of “Changes”
Normally, I do not do book reviews. This blog continues my career of not doing book reviews because I have no intention of reviewing “Changes,” which, by the way was totally awesome. If you have not yet read Jim Butcher‘s newest installment in the “Dresden Files”, “Changes” and plan to, stop reading at the end of this sentence, as the very next sentence is likely to contain what some would call “spoilers.” Well, maybe not the very next, but to be certain, in order to properly talk about what the hell happened in “Changes” it is impossible to do so unless at least one of these so-called spoilers are discussed.

Normally that was something my Mom would have done, but Dad really wanted to see this movie about as much as us kids did. Not only was it one of the ancient myths brought to life on the silver screen but it had the stop motion effects that only Ray Harryhausen could do.
