Normally at this time of the year, I’d be sitting down to write a summer movie recap, reflecting on the hits (and misses), what were the biggest surprises and disappointments, and so on. By this point in 2020, I planned to have seen “Wonder Woman 1984,” Christopher Nolan’s espionage thriller
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to watch a movie about Kylo Ren and James Bond robbing a vault at a NASCAR speedway during the middle of a race? Well, have I got a movie for you! To be fair, “Logan Lucky” isn’t actually about Kylo Ren
When you hear the phrase “founding fathers of the United States,” what name first comes to mind? George Washington? Benjamin Franklin? Thomas Jefferson? While these three are arguably the most famous members of the American Revolution, they certainly didn’t act alone. The first U.S. secretary of the treasury, Alexander Hamilton,
Fans have long been speculating over who will become the next James Bond when Daniel Craig retires from the role. Marvel Cinematic Universe star Tom Hiddleston is often mentioned as one of the possibilities, but whether or not he actually gets the job, you can get a taste of what
As an entertainment blogger, finding topics to write about this year has been somewhat of a challenge. Normally I have my blog schedule all neatly planned out, based on what movies are coming to the theater. Of course, pretty much all the big spring and summer blockbusters have been moved

As you’ve probably noticed, I really like writing about Star Wars. I write (and think!) about Star Wars more than any other pop culture franchise, and I recently wrote a probably way-too-long piece for “May the Fourth” on what Star Wars has meant to me over the years. Does the
How much do I love the show “Schitt’s Creek”? Well, in the past I’ve been very vocal about my feelings regarding the explosion of online streaming services and my frustration about having to sign up for all of them in order to watch buzz-worthy TV shows. I’m very hesitant to
Even though the Star Wars prequels land at the bottom of my personal Star Wars film ranking, the computer animated Clone Wars series (which started airing in 2008) is actually one of my very favorite things in the Star Wars franchise. Fans have been intrigued by the prospect of the
I’ve written plenty of blogs about Star Wars over the years, and by this point, I’m pretty sure that anyone who knows me is fully aware of the fact that I am completely obsessed with this franchise. I’m not even really sure of how it all began, of why Star
I’ll never forget the last movie I went to see before the coronavirus quarantine started. There wasn’t necessarily a movie I was desperate to see that weekend, but I just really needed to get out of the house. I’d just learned my favorite regional con had been cancelled due to
Well, it looks like it’s time for the “Better Late than Never blog series…goes west” to ride off into the sunset. It’s been a great journey, and overall I’ve really enjoyed diving deeper into a genre I once thought I didn’t like. I’ll still always have a special place in
