This week, I was already planning to write a post about Star Wars, reflecting on my thoughts on this season of The Mandalorian and where I thought the show was heading in the future. However, thanks to all the surprising news that came out of the recent Star Wars Celebration
If you are a diehard, veteran dungeon master with countless Dungeons & Dragons campaigns under your belt, the new D&D movie Honor Among Thieves is definitely for you. However, if you just played a couple of rounds of D&D back in college, good news – Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among
I didn’t get a chance to watch Shazam! Fury of the Gods on opening weekend. And I was so caught up in con excitement (attending my favorite regional con, Planet Comicon in Kansas City), that I really didn’t have time to read any reviews or check out how the box
One of the best feelings in the world is walking into a con on the very first day. The show floor is buzzing with excitement, the cosplayers are dressed up, and you feel a sense of giddy, childlike glee. You’re about to spend a weekend in geeky paradise, surrounded by
By now you’ve probably read a summary of actor Seth Rogen’s much-discussed thoughts on negative film reviews, or at least heard about the heated debate those comments have sparked.

Weirdly enough, hearing the mixed response to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania made me even more curious to see the film. How would I feel about this somewhat polarizing movie? Would I love it? Hate it? End up falling somewhere in between? I always respect when a franchise film is
This is definitely a case of “better late than never,” but nine months after it dropped on Netflix, I’m finally getting around to watching the fourth season of Stranger Things. Miraculously, I’ve managed to avoid most spoilers, although I know everyone was obsessed with Kate Bush’s “Running Up that Hill”
When I was growing up, I had a number of opportunities to watch older movies. And I have to confess (with no small amount of embarrassment) that at the time I really didn’t enjoy many of these films. I lumped together “all movies made before the 1970s” as if they
I know I’ve blogged before about the new adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small currently airing on PBS Masterpiece (at least twice, in fact). But this truly is one of the best series on TV right now, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly, highly recommend
When I first encountered the story of A Man Called Otto, Tom Hanks’ newest movie, it was in book form. One of the members of my book club picked it as her selection for the group to read (the version we read was actually translated from the original Swedish novel,
