I'm a big fan of Marvel and the MCU, even if I've never been into actual comic books, and they've been just about the only movies my wife...

I can't help myself. After reading and writing about the Hundred Years War and the Black Prince I was always going to watch A Knight's...

I don't know why I ever doubt Wes Anderson. Though, maybe 'doubt' isn't the right word. For whatever reason I always hesitate after...

The Crown is a Netflix made, lavishly produced, phenomenally acted look at the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It's pretty crazy...

The Mandalorian season two resumed late this year (my thoughts from s1) without missing a beat, and keeps getting better and better. I'm...

Christmas movies aren't a must-do thing for me. Still, every year we see a number of them. Elf (2003) and White Christmas (1954) are my wife's favorites (I like them too) and always take priority. I'm a big fan of It's a Wonderful Life (1946), though we don't watch it annually. We've done Die Hard (1988) on Christmas Eve a bunch of years in a row now, which started as a joke but is becoming a fun tradition. (I know Die Hard isn't actually a Christmas movie, it just takes

As happens periodically, I'm drawn to play through the old Halo campaigns. It'd been years since attempting Halo 2 Legendary and I hadn't...

Sean Connery, probably my absolute favorite actor, died a few weeks ago. There's something fitting about it all ending in the Bahamas....

I've watched a lot of movies and, sure, I like horror, though usually only in October as a lead-up to Halloween. My wife is really not a...

Lately we're reading more and more Dr. Seuss . Soon after Jack was born we acquired (can't remember if it was a gift or what) a little...

Ever since I was a kid I've loved Jackie Chan. While I don't exactly remember how it started, my family would occasionally rent his Hong...

To coincide with the final season of Game of Thrones, and its total train-wreck of a narrative, Diageo last year released a line of...

What's the real motivation behind all of the 'live-action' remakes of Disney animated classics in recent years? Is it simply a straight...

Hamilton was, and is, a national phenomenon. I never thought we'd see it and like many others was quite happy it'd be streaming on...

I like movies, but I'm rarely up to date on most current ones. I see, generally, a number of comic book films and rare others (say,...

Well I'm finally watching the Americans, a show long near the top of my list. And, shocker, I'm loving it (on Prime btw). Only through...

Tom Bombadil is a totally random Lord of the Rings character and if you've seen the movies but not read the books, you've likely never...
