Thoughts After Seeing First Man
They finally decided to make a prequel to Apollo 13. Okay, not really. But it kind of felt that way. I don't know much about the life of astronaut Neil Armstrong. Yeah, I learned about him in school growing up. He was the first man to walk on the moon. In Apollo 13, Tom Hanks, as Jim Lovell, … Continue reading Thoughts After Seeing First Man
Thoughts After Seeing Halloween
The title of this post could be confusing. To clarify, I'm referring to the latest film to be titled Halloween in a franchise wrought with enough retcons and reboots, they make the fact that there have been three actors to play Spider-Man on the big screen in less than a decade seem almost normal.

My Problem with DC Universe
For the record, I'm referring to DC's streaming service, not the comic book or film continuity. Although, I'm sure I could go into problems with both of those universes as well. But let's stick with this new streaming service for now. When it was announced some time ago that DC Comics would be coming out … Continue reading My Problem with DC Universe
