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
Though it is not yet halfway over, 2020 has already been a long, difficult year. A global pandemic led to mass quarantine orders and sparked a time of fear and uncertainty that remains today, as the search for a vaccine continues. People also are grieving the ugly truth that is
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

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
Have you ever watched a movie and thought, “I think that was a good movie, but I didn’t actually like it?” That’s exactly what I thought after watching “Once Upon a Time in the West.” I decided to watch “Once Upon a Time in the West” next in my Western
The Star Wars saga has already covered — quite extensively — the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the rise of Darth Vader. And we’ve seen that Vader’s grandson, Kylo Ren, also fell to the dark side. But how did Ben Solo — son of two of the greatest heroes of
Well, when I posted the first part of my review of the Netflix miniseries “Godless” back on March 5, I had no idea how much my life would be changing in the next couple weeks. Since then, the university I work for has been shut down due to growing concerns
I was planning to spend this weekend getting ready for Planet Comicon, the regional geek convention my dad and I look forward to attending together every year. If you’ve never heard of Planet Comicon, I’m always happy to help promote it — it’s a fantastic mid-sized con that draws about
