After I finished reading Frank Herbert’s Dune for the first time years ago, I put down the book, fairly certain I would not be returning to that fictional universe. Although it was a science fiction classic and I appreciated its importance to literature overall, it just wasn’t for me…or so
I really wanted to write an in-depth article on the theme of legacy in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, but life got in the way and I never had a chance to finish the article (or well, even start it, if I’m being honest). Then, Disney+ launched the new Hawkeye series, which ALSO
My original intention for this movie review was to write a long, in-depth piece about Ghostbusters: Afterlife, reflecting on the themes of legacy and nostalgia. But then, I came down with a bad cold and struggled to finish all my work projects before the Thanksgiving holiday break, so what you’re
The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s newest movie Eternals reminds me of an intricate tapestry that’s been woven from beautiful individual threads and crafted with obvious love and care, that somehow results in an end product that feels lacking. Eternals is a bold, ambitious film, unlike anything we’ve seen in the MCU
I have to confess, when I first read Frank Herbert’s Dune novel about a decade ago, I didn’t really connect with the story. Although I appreciated the experience of reading such an important sci-fi classic, I can’t say that I particularly enjoyed it. I decided not to continue with the
Although many different actors have played the role of British super spy James Bond over the years, Daniel Craig is my personal favorite. Daniel Craig is “my Bond” in the same way that David Tennant is “my Doctor.” Craig was my gateway into the Bond franchise. And even though I’ve
The LEGO company’s animated spoofs of famous franchises can never be accused of taking themselves too seriously, and the new LEGO Star Wars Halloween special on Disney+ is no exception. In Terrifying Tales, Resistance pilot Poe Dameron has to make an unexpected stop on the lava planet of Mustafar, which
So far, the animated Marvel Cinematic Universe series “What If…?” on Disney+ has been a fascinating playground for creators to experiment with storytelling and explore possibilities outside of what we’ve already seen in the live-action films. I would love to see Disney+ release a similar animated show set in the
Perhaps it’s too soon to say this, but I’m going to go ahead and do it anyway: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is one of my favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe films, definitely in my top 5 and maybe even in my top 3. I really, really, really
Last week when I started the first episode of Marvel’s new What If…? series on Disney+, I knew right away that I was watching something special. What If…? provides an opportunity to return to our favorite storylines from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in animated form. However, this definitely isn’t the
When I first heard that Disney was making a movie version of the theme park ride “Jungle Cruise,” my initial response was a skeptical, “Really?” And then I actually watched the trailer and my skepticism transformed into, “Well, this actually looks quite delightful.” The historical setting, over-the-top action/adventure sequences, and
There’s a lot of excitement surrounding the release of all the upcoming Star Wars projects on Disney+ — and understandably so. Longtime fan favorite Boba Fett is back (and better than ever) thanks to The Mandalorian, and he’s appearing in his own spinoff series later this year. Ewan McGregor is
