A YOUNG CATHOLIC'S MOVIE BLOG
Well, it's Star Wars Day's followup, Revenge of the Fifth, and since half of this blog's last few posts have been about Star Wars, I'll make another one that expands upon my Star Wars: Episodes I-VIII post, and not just by listing them, but by ranking them, and by including spinoffs too, with some rewrites...

So, the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy was fundamentally flawed from the start. Most things I like about it come with an asterisk, and, as I said in my Rise of Skywalker review, maybe Episode VII should not have been conceived as the beginning of a trilogy at all but rather as a single-episode epilogue about...

One of the reasons I haven't been so interested in writing about movies recently is because I've been more interested in writing actual movies, and I've just launched the crowdfunding campaign for the first 2D animated short I'm producing: "Talk to Her", about a shy community college student who's trying to build up the courage...

I reviewed Terminator: Dark Fate on Letterboxd on its opening weekend, but since what I wrote there is a full review by this blog's standards, I figured I'd repost it here: As I've expressed before, Terminator 2 is nothing special to me.

Amid all the discord within the Star Wars fan base the previous entries of the Sequel Trilogy were causing, I was holding out hope for The Rise of Skywalker to stick the landing.

With Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker coming up in a couple months, I've decided to go through my opinions on each entry of the Star Wars saga so far, in order of release (that business with The Clone Wars, Rogue One, and Solo doesn't...doesn't count). Episode IV - A New Hope... Continue Reading →
As my interest in being a movie blogger is pretty much dead (I had an archive page of a bunch of movie reviews from my previous blogs, but I foolishly deleted it with no backup), I'll redirect you to my Letterboxd here if you're still interested in my thoughts on movies. God bless.
Having grown up with the Toho Godzilla movies, knowing they were a huge staple of Japanese pop culture, one of the strangest facts about the King of the Monsters to me is how he was conceived as Japan's response to a Hollywood monster movie, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, which was about a giant prehistoric...
