Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Six – Friday Fun Link – How Different Would E.T. Be In The 21st Century? #ftrw

  Shea and I have been showing the kids a lot of our favourite movies from when we were growing up – “Dirty Dancing” to “Adventures in Babysitting” to “Airplane!” – movies that both of us remember being allowed to watch by our parents at relatively young ages with no censorship or restrictions (*maybe* I’d […]

Music Monday – “But I don’t need no friends/As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset/I am in paradise”

Watched “Juliet, Naked” this weekend with Shea (who thought the tale of an obnoxiously nitpicky music obsessive hit a bit too close to home for her!) 😉 Anyhow, this song played a pivotal part of the movie… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyh__QQD2js “Waterloo Sunset” – The Kinks

How did I miss that Michael Bay had produced a Covid-19 themed movie early during the pandemic that started production in May 2020 and was released in December? The reviews are predictably bad but I’d probably still watch it.

Friday Fun Link – King of Staten Island Trailer

Everything’s changing due to Covid and Hollywood is no different. This is a movie that would’ve had a fairly traditional release – film festival then widely in theatres then to video-on-demand – but it is now being released today directly to various video streaming services where you can “rent” it for $20 USD (more expensive […]

[Spoilers] The Entire Emperor Palpatine Story

The entire Star Wars universe can be pretty confusing, especially when there are years if not decades between films. Seeing the arc of a single character through the whole series does a good job of explaining different moments and motivations…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ranking the Nine Star Wars Movies (1977 to 2020)

Finally got to see a matinee of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” the other day so have now seen all three trilogies comprising nine total films within the main Star Wars universe.
