RIP Carrie Fisher
One of the first movies I remember going to see on a big screen was Star Wars.

Movie Review – Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Spoiler Fee)
I've gotten out of the habit of reviewing movies I think are really great. Spitting out a thousand words about how awesome you think something is just doesn't suit me.
