Maze Comic Book Cover #104 - A Christmas Caper

Issue #104 in my comic book cover series is called A Christmas Caper and features a maze of a Christmas Elf. This is our last Christmas themed cover for the year. If you want to enjoy more kids Christmas Mazes I have a large section of them. Happy Holidays !

My comic book cover mazes can be found in 2 places:

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 1 (Issues #1-53)

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 2

To receive a book of my first year of comic book book mazes (Volume 1 with mazes #1-53) you can sign up for my book alerts - any time I launch a free maze book, or paid book (on Amazon), I will send you a note about the new book launch.

Maze of the Week #208 - Santa's Sleigh Maze

I knew this was the maze I wanted to make for this week when I came up with this concept of vehicle mazes for kids. Introducing Maze of the Week #208 featuring Santa's Sleigh Maze. And of course this version features Santa and is also a coloring page ! The elves have packed the sleigh and are going to get the reindeers for the big flight ! I am happy to add this to my collection of Christmas Mazes.

Free Maze download is available in the Vehicle Maze section of the site. Happy Holidays!

Kindle books are a nice last minute gift !

We are getting to that time of year when you may need to buy a last minute gift. May I suggest a Kindle book. If you have never gifted a book in this way you simply find the book you want, go to the kindle version and the click the “buy for others” button (circled in red below). You will need the person’s email address and you can choose the delivery date. Are you more of a December 24th or December 25th gift person ?

If you have a maze lover in your life I suggest checking out my Arrow Maze Books available for Kindle. It is one of the few maze books that comes in the Kindle format (although Kindle Scribe may change that). That is because arrow mazes are solved using your eyes/finger rather than a writing utensil. This version is also different than the printed version in terms of the pagination for the maze solutions. The Kindle version is Puzzle #1, Solution #1, Puzzle #2, Solution #2, etc. while the printed is 100 puzzles, then 100 solutions condensed onto answer pages. The Kindle version solutions are also all full sized !

Earlier this year I reduced the price of my kindle books from $4.95 to $2.99 a 39.6% discount. Wouldn’t it be nice if everything we bought went down in price almost 40% ! This is the lowest price Amazon allows me to price the book at based on the size of the file. (Other editions in other languages are also being adjusted down similarly).

Here is the cover of the book. Let’s check out some maze examples below. Note that this book does have a free sample download available to try before you buy ! That button is located right below “Buy for Others”.

I also have a Kids Arrow Maze version and another volume for Kindle.

Wishing you Happy Mazing !

Andron (2015) Movie Review

What happens when you combine elements from Cube, The Matrix, The Maze Runner, The Hunger Games and The Running Man into one movie? Do you get the greatest sci-fi film of all time ? Let’s find out. I also want to mention that I found 2 different versions of the movie poster. One with Alec Baldwin and one without. Which do you prefer ?

Did it make my list of The 10 Best Maze Themed Movie Posters ? Would I have mentioned this post if it had not ?

Andron (IMDB)

Also known as Andron: The Black Labyrinth the film starts with people awakening in an unknown place without any memory of why they are there (my reference to the the film Cube). The place is very dark and industrial and set-up in a very confusing maze like fashion (The Maze Runner). Slowly the group (called contenders) finds out that only 1 of them can escape the maze and win their freedom (The Hunger Games). The game is controlled by evil corporations in the future (this takes place in the year 2154) and they are connected into a neural network (The Matrix). Oh, and the world is watching (The Running Man). We also have stars Alec Baldwin and Danny Glover who are definitely not just cashing a paycheck in this one. Definitely not. So then, this IS the greatest movie you have never seen right ? I just hadn’t heard of it before because it’s a hidden gem ????

No

It’s terrible. With bad effects, numerous plot holes, bad acting and really no character that you want to cheer for or against. The bad guys go down like Storm troopers in outfits made by your aunties crafting group. The special effects give special a bad name. If you want to hate watch this, make sure you find it streaming for free. I will say that the difference between what you think about the movie after watching the trailer versus watching the actual movie are wide. Watch the trailer below and you might think this movie is worth watching….it’s a trap. It makes me wonder if the trailer is a meta way of experiencing Andron. Like by watching it, it tries to entice you into the labyrinth of watching the actual movie. And you might think. Wait, that makes no sense. Exactly. Just like the “plot” of this movie.

AVOID. 3/10. This movie does make my 10 Unbelievably Bad Maze Movies to Never, Ever Watch.

My recommendation is, if you want to enjoy this movie read the reviews on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes rather than actually watch it. It is rated (as of this writing) at 2.7 and 0% respectively. Here is one of my favorite reviews which is short but to the point and I can only I assume was made on an anonymous account so nobody could track who had actually watched the movie:

“I wish I could unwatch this.” - Rotten Tomatoes User
