Us Star Wars fans find ourselves at a very interesting place at this point in time. Just a year ago it wasn't looking so great. The final film in the Skywalker saga landed with mixed reviews at best and the negative ones were way louder than all. The Rise of Skywalker, despite grossing over a … Continue reading The State of Star Wars
Movie Review – Get On Up
With Chadwick Boseman's untimely passing I felt compelled to check out one of his movies that did not involve him playing Black Panther. This one was on an HBO free preview, so it won out. The story starts flipping back and forth between James early childhood and some of his performances during his early career, … Continue reading Movie Review – Get On Up
RIP Chadwick Boseman
I did not expect to be writing this one anytime soon. Chadwick Boseman passed away this weekend at the age of 43, after battling colon cancer for four years. It is startling news not just because of his age but because none of us even knew about his illness. He literally spent the last four … Continue reading RIP Chadwick Boseman
Review – Transformers: War for Cybertron

Movie Review – Birds of Prey
Not writing the whole title out, sorry not sorry I missed this one in the theater, but I did finally get around to watching it at home as part of my social distancing TV programming. Unfortunately for all involved it greatly underperformed at the box office, grossing just under $202 million worldwide on an $84 … Continue reading Movie Review – Birds of Prey

Movie Review – Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker
I went through a few different 'final chapter' movies in 2019 to prepare for this one: Back to the Future III, The Matrix Revolutions and of course Return of the Jedi (which isn't a final chapter any more but at the time it came out it was). Then I gave my thoughts on Avengers: Endgame. … Continue reading Movie Review – Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker
My Own Skywalker Saga
So the work of finishing the Skywalker Saga is all done. Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker is in the theaters and killing it at the box office, much to chagrin of some loud dissenters who have been a thing going back to the prequel trilogy, and now the future of Star Wars that does not … Continue reading My Own Skywalker Saga
