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, let me set the stage for you: It’s 1999. The day that I had been waiting for for so many years had finally arrived. I mean, I had been a Star Wars fan for so very long. I had collected dozens of action figures and wore them out from…
Once again, thanks to the efforts of my wonderful wife, my nine year old son and I got the chance to see Pixar’s latest movie, The Good Dinosaur, at a special sneak preview this past Monday. My son’s verdict was that the movie was really good. Mine? Not quite so…

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…
I should probably keep my big mouth shut, but I feel like I have to wade into the controversy that’s erupted over the way Black Widow is portrayed in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
As I left the theater last night, I was ruminating on how we got to this point in terms of superhero movies. I remember seeing the post-credits sequence at the end of the original Iron Man movie, when Nick Fury showed up and said those three magic words: the Avengers…
