This Week: Archie Just Got Mauled by a Bear

An Honest Fangirl:
These last few weeks have been very hectic for me, and I’m behind on a lot of my shows. I did manage to see Ready or Not 2, though, and it was a ton of fun. It was great to see Sarah Michelle Gellar in something again.

What’s everyone else watching/reading/playing?

Rogue One After Andor

This article will discuss the narrative and emotional impact of watching Rogue One after finishing the series Andor.

Contains spoilers for Andor, Rogue One and other completed Star Wars projects!

The Acolyte

"This isn't about good or bad. This is about power, and who is allowed to use it."

So, The Acolyte has ended. I screamed incoherently about one episode a while back, but that was just one episode. How did the full season fare?

This review contains spoilers for the entire season!

Disney Just Announced What?

Disney just had a four hour long “Investor Day” live stream which announced a crap ton of stuff for 2021 and beyond. Not just movies, but a lot of new content for their one year old streaming service Disney+, which up until recently only had a smattering of new content. So what did they announce?

Five Famous Movie Mentors (And how they died)

Like teenage girls home alone, cops just days away from retirement or anyone played by Sean Bean, wise old mentors to young movie heroes are just doomed to die. Here are five of the most well known and how they all met their ends.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer Analysis

Okay, there are about fifty bazillion analyses of the new Star Wars trailer out there online, but I thought I would put in my two cents a week later than everyone else. Although there is literally no real official spoilers out there and this article is total conjecture, I'm a big enough movie/Star Wars geek that some of my idle guessing might actually pan out. So potential spoilers ahead.

This Week: Katniss and Kindle – North Hanger A-B – Pride and Prejudice – Sense and Sensibility – Persuasion

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a human in possession of an armchair must be in want of a cat. For that reason did the bondswoman solicit my services, so many years past, and I maintain that I have performed my duties, and indulged what meager pleasure came my way, with the benevolent panache appropriate to an officer and a gentlecat.

How to Watch Star Wars

[There are no spoilers for the Star Wars movies in this article.]

The original Star Wars and its sequels and prequels are without a doubt some of the most watched, critiqued, and examined movies in history. Fans are deeply passionate about the series. Unfortunately, there are a few major issues that tarnish that love, and of course, I'm talking about the prequels.

Discussion: Predictions for JJ Abrams' Star Wars

So, JJ Abrams is going to be running Star Wars. And, after 2-3 TV series (depending whether you count Lost) and several films, we're starting to see a pattern in Abrams' work, a pattern that could essentially be summed up as 'he's admitted he's obsessed with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and it shows.'

Newsflash: J.J. Abrams and Star... yes?

So the newest news about the upcoming Star Wars trilogy is that at Episode VII will be directed by none other than Star Trek director J.J. Abrams. As a fan of both franchises I find this to be exciting news... yet I'm also a little conflicted about it as well.

Star Wars 4: A New Hope

[This review includes spoilers.]

Leia: "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."

I feel somewhat inadequate to the task of reviewing a movie whose impact has been felt for decades all over the world. Those are pretty big shoes for a melodramatic science fiction movie with aliens and robots, but let's face it, Star Wars is very, very special.
