STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER Director: J.J. AbramsStarring: Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong’o, Billy Dee Williams, Ian McDiarmid, Kelly Marie Tran, Carrie Fisher How do you end a saga after three trilogies? Director J.J. Abrams does just that with a satisfying conclusion in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Adam Driver is out for blood as Kylo Ren. His rage is stronger than ever before. He’s massively greedy and with the return of Emperor Palpatine, he knows he can potentially rule the galaxy. Rey (Ridley) is continuing on in her Jedi training. The force is massively strong within her,Read More →

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Writer/Director: Rian Johnson Starring: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, Billie Lourd, Benecio del Toro, Gwendoline Christie Where do I even begin with the task of writing about Star Wars: The Last Jedi when I’ve just returned home from taking it all in for the first time? Repeat viewings will offer a bit of a different analysis. I’m still in a bit of awe filled with just about every emotion one could have from a Star Wars movie. I’d go so far as to say that theRead More →

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS Director: Kenneth Branagh Starring: Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Leslie Odom Jr, Daisy Ridley, Willem Dafoe, Derek Jacobi, Lucy Boynton, Sergei Polunin When you have an all-star cast consisting of Kenneth Branagh, Michelle Pfeiffer, Johnny Depp, Judi Dench, and Penelope Cruz, to name a few, it’s imperative to use them well. It’s a shame that the ensemble remake of Murder on the Orient Express fails to do so. Kenneth Branagh stars as detective Hercule Poirot who is in between cases after solving a mystery in Jerusalem. If you’re unfamiliar with the classic AgathaRead More →

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Director: Rian Johnson Starring: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Laura Dern, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis, Benicio Del Toro The time has finally come to feast your eyes on the very first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It feels very delayed compared to how early we saw a trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The Last Jedi, aka Episode VIII, will pick up where The Force Awakens ended, and I assume will prominently feature Mark Hamill and his return as Luke Skywalker. Is he the title character or isRead More →

Abrams Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendolyn Christie, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong’o, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew Where do you even begin when talking about a movie that is probably the biggest, most highly anticipated film of what? The last year? The last decade? It’s a film shrouded in extreme secrecy and comes with huge expectations. The Star Wars prequels left fans disappointed. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is back to the Star Wars we know and love. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker (Hamill) has gone missing, and everyone, especiallyRead More →

Abrams. He always felt like the right choice to me. I’ve been following the rumors, casting notices, and set photos, and it all seemed right to me.  After watching this teaser trailer for Episode VII a couple of times now, I think fans should rest assured that this willRead More →
