Recently on Twitter, a friend of mine and I got into a brief discussion on The Rise of Skywalker, and both of us came to the same conclusion: we were apathetic to the movie, despite that fact we spent the majority of the film being alternatively angry at decisions made and confused as to what

As a writer, the second act is always the most interesting to me: this is the meat of the overarching story, expanding on the themes usually briefly touched in the first act but not resolving them in a manner that the final act does. The viewer kind of expects things to be open-ended, eventually leading

Alrighty, onto something I didn’t do the last time I did this challenge because the sequel trilogy I think had just started maybe? You’ll have to forgive me; the last decade has kind of melded together in my brain as just one bad period of time, so pinpointing things is not my strong suit. Now,

While Return of the Jedi might not have the character development of The Empire Strikes Back or the innovation that drove the success of A New Hope, it finished out the trilogy in an incredibly satisfying way, ending the Darth Vader redemption arc that we didn’t know was happening at the time. And it probably

A few weeks ago, my sister and I were discussing movies that we had watched so many times that 1) we had lost track of how many times it actually was, and 2) we could basically recite them in our heads without needing the visuals or sounds in front of us. Well, The Empire Strikes

First day of nursing school complete. Only 16 more months to go … I don’t know how it’s already May in AD 2021, but here we are.

I saw Revenge of the Sith in the theater three times, two of which were by myself. The first two times were for a journalism class, the second of which a friend tagged along because he wanted to see the movie but was embarrassed and needed an excuse (“she didn’t want to go alone” was

Damn, this one is actually hard. Attack of the Clones is my absolute least favorite movie, as you well know, so picking a scene that isn’t completely full of suck is the opposite of Sophie’s Choice: which one isn’t the worst? One of the major problem with AotC – and the entire prequel trilogy, for

The night I walked into the theater with my family to see The Phantom Menace, I had a huge, excited smile on my face, fully prepared to be wowed by the mind of one of my major creative influences. Instead, I was jealous of my mother, who’d somehow fallen asleep near the beginning of the

The Plan wasn’t necessarily my favorite because I, for one, do enjoy a bit of ambiguity in my storytelling. Knowing exactly why Leoben was obsessed with Kara Thrace doesn’t make it any less disturbing, and how does being shown who Caprica-Six met after talking with Baltar in the miniseries make me despise Cavil more (hint:
