So, after my 5th showing of STAR WARS: The Rise of Skywalker it really hit me hard... the Story that has been a huge part of my life is over. What a ride it was, it is hard to believe the Skywalker Saga is done. Now I know people will look at this title and pass it over. Hell, I’m sure there will
I previously opined that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker proves the irrelevance of reviews in today's film industry. In doing so I stated that "people are more concerned with promoting their bloviated opinions than with actually, objectively reviewing the film." Not only do I stand behind those
Let's get this out of the way right now: Nothing that Disney and Lucasfilm will ever do with Star Wars will ever be right. Some fans, like me, hold Rogue One: A Star Wars Story among the best films of the entire franchise. Others deemed it irrelevant and unnecessary. For some, The Force Awakens was

The Mandalorian's third episode, "The Sin", tops everything that the show has done previously. Without delving into spoilers for the show (really stretching my writing abilities here), we'll go over the majesty and awe of this third episode. Boy, oh boy, was it a doozy. If you missed my review of
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
