If one of your favorite Star Wars characters is Obi-Wan Kenobi, I highly recommend picking up John Jackson Miller’s (now non-canon) novel Kenobi. Styled after classic Westerns, the novel depicts Obi-Wan coming to terms with his exile on Tatooine following Anakin’s fall to the dark side and the destruction of
When I watched the trailer for Disney/Pixar’s new animated film Lightyear, my first impression was that the movie looked fun but I didn’t experience a “jump-out-of-your-seat” level of hype. That turned out to pretty much summarize how I felt about the film after watching it this weekend. It’s a fun
Although Jurassic World: Dominion was one of my most anticipated summer movies, as I walked out of the theater I found myself feeling deflated. I had a lot of hopes for the movie, but it didn’t quite fulfill them. There were some bright spots, such as seeing the legacy cast
I love British period dramas almost as much as I love Star Wars – and believe me, that’s saying something. The period drama closest to my heart is Downton Abbey, and since the series wrapped in 2016 here in the U.S., I’ve been looking for other shows to fill that
Top Gun: Maverick was not on my list of most anticipated movies for 2022. Until recently, I wasn’t even sure if I’d see it in theaters (I hadn’t yet seen the original movie, either). However, I was intrigued by the aerial cinematography in the IMAX trailers I saw, and when
Although I love British period dramas in general and I have a long list of favorites, none has ever come close to topping Downton Abbey, at least for me. It has similar ingredients to most period dramas – fancy clothes, a historical setting, hints of drama and scandal – and
Watching the finale of Moon Knight AND Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness within the same week was a lot to process. There’s certainly a lot for fans to talk about after these two mind-bending stories. I could probably dedicate two separate, rather lengthy blog posts to analyzing these
If you’re not a British period drama addict like I am, the recent premiere of Sanditon’s second season may not immediately strike you as a noteworthy event. The series is set in a British seaside town and is inspired by Jane Austen’s unfinished novel of the same name. However, the
Five years ago, I talked my dad into driving with me up to Kansas City to check out Planet Comicon for the first time. It’s the largest con in our area, and I wanted to see what it was like but didn’t want to go alone. We loved it so
I first visited Disney World in 2016 at the age of 28. I wondered, would the experience still seem magical since I hadn’t gone to Disney World as a kid and didn’t have any particular nostalgia for the parks? As it turns out, I needn’t have worried – I fell
Taking a trip to Disney World is one of my very favorite things. It’s the saying goodbye to Disney World after a trip that always leaves me feeling a little sad. However, The Lost City was the perfect cure for my post-Disney blues last weekend weekend after I got back
The Batman is unlike any Batman movie (or superhero movie, even) that I’ve ever seen before. It leans – very hard – into its gritty, grungy film noir vibe. It’s more of a detective story than a superhero story, and it shows off Batman/Bruce Wayne’s sleuthing skills in a way
