Last week, I had the honor and privilege of attending the red carpet premiere of The Mandalorian. It was a fan event that had a Q&A in the beginning, and then a screening of the first three episodes. First, a little backstory as to how this came about. I love Star Wars, and I also…
Somewhere, in a galaxy far far away, in an outpost called Anaheim, there is a disturbance in the force. Well, maybe it was just convention food for some people. D23 Expo has come and gone and with it a whole slew of breaking news and announcements and unsurprisingly their two big franchises really made an…
Has Disney killed Star Wars? Ok, so before we get into it, let?s start with this? No, I don?t think Star Wars is dead. I?ve been a fan for almost my entire 38 years on this planet and I don?t recall Star Wars being as big as it is today (though internet and social media…
The post Endgame era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is here.

Let’s be honest, the average moviegoer probably has no interest Alita: Battle Angel… and I was one of them, when the first trailer dropped. From the beginning, the CGI wasn’t working for me and?I wasn’t sold visually on the anime-style eyes. Then, a few months ago, more trailers came out and my interest was peaked….
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…. Lucasfilm/Disney are now 4 films in on their revitalized Star Wars plans. The plans so far have been clear: Honor the past while looking toward the future and a new generation. Star Wars purists have had mixed reaction to the new canon, but there is…

What started in 2008 with Iron Man has evolved into what can arguably be called the standard of superhero film-making. Of…
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues Phase 3 with the third solo film of Thor. The first Thor film was good, not great, but good.
