A few weeks back, I wrote a non-spoilery review of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. And I think I did a pretty good job of keeping my spoiler-filled thoughts to myself. But the gloves are coming off now, baby! Everyone has had about two weeks to go see…
So tonight, I went into our local theater and prepared myself to get lost in the galaxy far, far away. I’ll admit, I had a bit of trepidation going in; like I said yesterday, I had been in this position before, only to get burned. But I’ve liked what I’ve…

Okay, so I’m a little tardy to the party… …ugh, I hate myself for writing that right now. Anyway, I know, Ant-Man has been out in theaters for, like, a whole three days (which, at this point, is like almost out the door in the modern movie industry), and that…
A few days ago, thanks to the intrepid attention of my wonderful wife, my older son and I were able to go check out the newest Pixar movie, Inside Out, for free. Pixar has quite the track record going. I can’t really think of any swing-and-a-miss movies (except for Cars…
