‘Game of Thrones’ S8 E6: The Final Meltdown

So Bran is not the Night King. Nobody time travelled and most of your other favorite internet fan theories did not come to fruition in the last of our 73 episode tour of Westeros. If you had told me beforehand that only a single, solitary character would die in the last episode of Game of…

‘Game of Thrones’ S8 E4 Recap: The Pain That Was Promised

And here I was thinking the brutality of last week’s episode would lead to some type of win for the audience as we enter the second half of the final season. I guess we have to remember that this is Game of Thrones after all. After a fun little feast, things go wrong and then…

May Movie Preview: Gotta Watch ’em All

In all likelihood the highest grossing movie of May will be Avengers: Endgame, which of course was released in April. But don’t let that distract you from the gems that are among the May movie list. It’s a big list. There’s definitely a “diamond in the rough” joke to be made here with Aladdin coming…

‘Game of Thrones’ S8 E2 Recap: Fireside Chats

We get one more episode of “Full House: Westeros” before the abominable snowmen tear down all of our hopes and dreams next week in the battle at Winterfell. But the last day and night before the big fight provided plenty of proverbial goats for us to sink our dragon teeth into. Gend-rya happened, Jon spilled…

‘Game of Thrones’ S8 E1 Recap: How To Claim Your Dragon

We have gone just about 600 days since the season seven finale of Game of Thrones. Since then I’ve aged more than Melisandre taking off her magic necklace. Now the wait is over… at least for the premiere. We still have a ton of questions that will hopefully be answered over the coming weeks as…

April movie preview- 'avengers: endgame'

April Movie Preview: Snap into Spring

It’s that age-old battle between comic book juggernauts. Once again Marvel and DC slug it out. This time it’s with their latest big screen titles. But it’s definitely not a fair fight. DC launches Shazam!, the quirky action comedy that is basically the superhero equivalent to Tom Hanks’ Big. While Marvel unleashes the behemoth, Avengers:…

January Movie Preview: Hollywood’s New Year’s Resolution

Oh January, the month where the whole world is talking about how great the new year will be. Yet at the movie theater, that sentiment isn’t quite there. The bulk of audiences will be watching the blockbusters that came out in December or the award-show bound art house movies that will be slowly expanding to…

December movie preview- 'aquaman'

December Movie Preview: Spider-Man vs. A Grungy Santa Claus

It would be difficult to categorize any of the following list as Christmas movies. I would expect there to be at least one or two out of the 11 wide release titles this month. Apparently the studios wasted no time and put the few they had out in November. So December becomes a time for blockbusters,…

November Movie Preview: Fantastic Films and Where to See Them

Since Halloween has passed, it’s about that time to prepare for Christmas. Too soon? Not in movie land. We have a few seasonal options among the November movies. But there is also a handful of highly anticipated blockbusters to choose from. A month that goes from Whoville to Hogwarts to Sherwood Forest sounds like a…
