Up until now, we’ve been referring to the next installment of the Star Wars franchise as Episode VIII. Today that changes. Lucasfilm has announced that the film’s title is Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Good news for Star Wars fans because we are getting closer to its release date. This franchise has seemed to have undergone a rebirth of sorts with “The Phantom Menace” and “Rogue One”. Nerds and geeks like me everywhere are stoked about this!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies On A Saturday

This is a fun flick in the spirit of classical Regency era literature with the sensibilities of The Walking Dead. It features Downton Abbey’s Lily James and Doctor Who’s Matt Smith. It’s a very dark comedy that Jane Austen would appreciate.

The Holiday – A Holiday Favorite

I am a dude who loves a good rom-com and “The Holiday” is indeed a holiday favorite. Nancy Meyers gives us a comedy that is romantic, complex and very contemporary. Kate Winslet, Jack Black, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Rufus Sewell and the late Eli Wallach make this movie something special. When people trade where they live their lives anything can happen.

Rogue One, A Star Wars Story – My Take

I saw the latest Star Wars movie last night and enjoyed it. Without giving anything away Rogue One does a great job of setting some things up for the original movies. You get some further back story into the struggle between the rebellion and the empire. New characters and some familiar favorites take you along this journey.

What is important to know is that this movie shows us new places in this universe so you get a feel for how big the world of Star Wars really is. The empire is a vast operation in a lot of locations. You can understand why it’s the rebel alliance has to fight harder and smarter. Heroes are made in the moment and you see that in this story. Felicity Jones has a wonderful performance as the central character in this story.

The movie starts off a bit slow but perhaps that is the point. It wants to show you a lot so you have to pay attention. I fully recommend you see it on the big screen. You won’t be disappointed.

May The Force be with you.

Christmas Is All Around Us….Love Actually

Love, Love Actually!

It’s British, It’s about Christmas…what’s not to love. An all-star cast and the writing of Richard Curtis make this brilliant. I love Bill Nighy in this flick, he is my spirit animal if I were an aging rock star who cusses like the rainbow. This movie is a tradition this time of year.
