I thought WandaVision on Disney+ was really trippy, but it’s got nothing on Loki. So far the show has delved into time travel, cosmic beings who control events throughout history, and variant copies of the same people from multiple realities — and this is just the first two episodes. The
Over Memorial Day weekend, I had a chance to go to my local theater to watch the Disney live action Cruella movie. While this was not the first movie I’ve seen in a theater since the COVID shutdown in March 2020, it was a special moment, because this was the
On July 9, 2021, Marvel Cinematic Universe fans will (presumably) get a chance to watch the new Black Widow movie. I use the word “presumably” because this poor movie has been through quite a convoluted journey on its way to theaters. This movie was originally slated for a May 2020
For an author, having a film or television adaptation of your book is either a dream come true or your worst nightmare. For every successful book-to-screen adaptation, like Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy or Andy Weir’s The Martian, there are plenty of misfires. Remember the franchise non-starter based
Avengers: Endgame is an incredible, epic movie — but it’s also an emotionally draining one. We have to say goodbye to some of our favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe characters forever, and it very much feels like the end of an era. That’s why I was so excited that it ended
I love movies with rich character development, that dive deeply into the characters’ emotions and motivations. If I’m going to criticize a movie, the first things that usually come up are how the characterization is too shallow and the film focuses too much on action sequences or special effects at
I won’t say that the final episode of WandaVision made me cry. However, I definitely had a strange watery-ness in my eyes, particularly during the final scenes, as Wanda’s artificial reality comes crashing down, and Wanda and Vision are forced to say goodbye, yet again. I wasn’t prepared for just
Well, my grand experiment to take a break from Disney+ and try out other streaming services lasted all of two months. Eventually, I couldn’t stand the suspense anymore, and I just had to find out what was going on with the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new Disney+ show WandaVision. I now
This winter, one of my favorite times of the week has been Sunday nights. No matter how cold or dreary it is outside, or how stressed I am about work on Monday, I know I’ll be getting a new episode of the TV series All Creatures Great and Small on
Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None is arguably the most famous mystery novel of all time, selling over 100 million copies since its initial publication in 1939. It’s been adapted countless times over the years in many formats, including film, radio, and the stage. Miraculously, I’ve somehow managed to
As a longtime Star Wars fan, I’ve written countless articles over the years about my favorite franchise. The world doesn’t necessarily need another Ashley Pauls Star Wars blog entry, but here it is anyway! This past week, I had a chance to check off an item that’s been on my
At this point I feel like it’s kind of cliché to say that we’re living in a golden age of television, but truly, we are. I’ve always been more of a movie girl than an avid TV watcher. Film is my favorite medium in which to experience a fictional story.
