I vaguely remember watching the original Planet of the Apes on television when I was a young kid. I never really understood the movies and never watched the many sequels that came out after it. When the movies came back in 2011, I enjoyed what I saw and wanted to see where the story was…

When Tales of the Jedi came out in 2022, a few of the episodes focused on Ahsoka, some were about Count Dooku, Qui Gon Jinn and Mace Windu. Being that we had plenty of stories about these characters we were pulled into each episode and learned more about them. We got to see the how…

Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Review

The last time Guy Ritchie and Henry Cavill teamed up was in the underhyped The Man from U.N.C.L.E. While the movie was a pretty good spy/action movie the actions of the co-star brought about a dark cloud over the film. Nine years later they have reunited again for the action-packed ensemble period piece, The Ministry…

Sasquatch Sunset Review

Sasquatch Sunset is that rare treat that engulfs you in a world that you were slightly interested in but did not know if you wanted to experience it. Yes, the movie is about sasquatches. Yes, there is no dialogue. Yes, it is a strange ride but it is one of the most fascinating movies I…
