Leads up to episode 9 well
This movie is not as good as the previous two Disney has released but still a very good movie. The fight scenes are very good. There are still alot of questions left for episode 9. It can get to comedic at times but it does lighten the mood for the longest movie in the series. Just like every Star Wars movie I will be seeing this one multiple times in the theater and the purchasing it when it is released on Blu Ray

Star Wars: Before the Awakening by Greg Rucka is a collection of 3 shorter stories, one each about Finn, Rey, and Poe that more or less leads up to The Force Awakens movie. While neither is reliant on needing knowledge of the other (if you've seen the movie, for instance, you don't need to read the book), the book does flesh out a little background on the characters before we're introduced to them in the movie, so if you like the movie, I'd say this would be a great companion piece to read.

This book is to Fifty Shades as Spaceballs is to Star Wars and Scary Movie is to Scream. It is a witty, satirical look at the Fifty Shades trilogy with plenty of Twilight references thrown in for good measure. If you are among the readers that didn't take Fifty Shades too seriously to begin with, then you will love this book. A light, entertaining read with loads of fun 80's pop culture references that will keep you laughing from beginning to end.

Looking forward to reading the sequel, Fifty Shames in Space.

Anyone follow Box Office Mojo? Great place to get all the latest box office info.

Looks like March mostly was a dismal failure with A Wrinkle in Time, Pacific Rim 2, Tomb Raider and even Ready Player One turning out to be disappointments.


If you are a non Star Wars/Marvel property, things are not looking good for you.


The only pleasant surprise lately (other than Black Panther of course) has been the new Jumanji. Who would've thought film would have done over $400 million in the US alone.


What do you think?

Fun game for super hero fans
Strike force is a fun game where the player collects Marvel heroes and villains and battles with teams of five characters to level up and gain new characters. It’s almost exactly the same game as Star Wars Heroes and Disney Heroes (all three from Disney). This game allows you to auto play a level you’ve already beat without losing a team member automatically to farm supplies without using some sort of ticket, which saves a lot of time.

Better than expected...solo
Solo follows a young Han Solo, who is trying to escape his current life of thievery and run away with his girlfriend.
Things look to be going young Solo's way until thing quickly go south.
Vowing to make things right, he collides with an angry Chewbacca & before cementing his position as a member of a team of renegades.
This film turned out better than expected, didn't fail to feel like a star wars story and gave a good insight into Han solo's past.

Stunning VFX as always, decent story.

Solo was amazing! I loved it! Aside from a few cheesy Empire lines, which what do you expect from those Empire folks, I thought it was a great story with an outstanding cast and put together wonderfully. One aspect that really made it great to watch was a lot of the make-up and effects felt more practical and less cheap cgi, which is why out of the newer Star Wars movies I love Rogue One and Solo. A really fun and great movie I definitely suggest seeing.

By far the most divisive of the Star Wars movies, this is one of those films that I tend to enjoy while watching, but later come away with a whole host of problems. Such as:

How can Rey be so powerful with no training?
What, Princess (or General) Leia doing Peter Pan in space (may not have been so bad if there had been any indication she knew/was trained in how to use the Force)
The world slowest Lightspeed chase
What is the point of the Canto Bight excursion?

and, not forgetting,

Another movie that I feel gets quite a bit of undeserved negative attention.

An origin story of how Han Solo became the Han that we have come and known to love in the Star Wars universe. Some underdeveloped characters, as I think the makers literally just ran out of time and energy. Overall a fun movie with significant tie ins to the SW universe as a whole. Seeing the introduction of Chewy to Han was a personal highlight, as well was the performance of the great Woody Harrelson.
