Movie Review – Like a Boss
—
Like a Boss: cute movie. No great shakes here. It’s pretty much what you’d expect — there’s lightweight female empowerment, and cutthroat mean girl antics. Most scenes are pretty silly. Tiffany Haddish is the MVP. She’s very droll. Salma Hayek is amusing as Claire Luna (“Clear Brilliant Moon”), but overshoots her character to the…

Star Wars – Every Force Ghost Voice Cameo in Rise of Skywalker
Are you a huge Star Wars fan? I think Rise of Skywalker puts me — a die hard science fiction fan — to shame. Can you place every Force Ghost voice we hear mentally chatting to Rey in the climactic and emotional Skywalker Saga finale? Spoilers follow for Rise of Skywalker. This should be obvious.…

Two Must See Science Fiction Spoof Film Documentaries (plus: the most ‘inconceivable’ parody of a spoof)
It’s hard to make a decent movie spoof for a beloved franchise, and being in the science fiction genre doesn’t make things any easier. The producers have to sell a fresh plot, quality special effects, and sparkling humor, while somehow keeping the fan base happy. You have to honor — while riffing– the base material.…

Every Type of Star Wars Stormtrooper, Explained
So, I was making my own list of every type of Stormtrooper we see in Star Wars, and I found a definitive video explaining more types than I ever noticed.

This has been happening frequently with Star Wars. In this case, I was personally interested in differences and…

Star Wars – Death Stars and Planet Killers: Enough Already
Star Wars is stuck in a Death Star rut. Why is Lucasfilm so attached to Planet Killers? A New Hope opened with a super-weapon. They probably felt they had to up the stakes forever after. How many Star Wars movies feature a Death Star — or something like one? It’s been on my mind since…

Star Wars – Top Seven Reasons to Watch The Mandalorian Now (No spoilers)
If you’re a Star Wars fan burned by uneven movies in the franchise, you should enjoy The Mandalorian. Available only on the Disney+ premium channel, these short but extremely competent episodes in the Star Wars lexicon need to be seen and savored. It’s giving the concurrent Rise of Skywalker a serious run for the money.…

Star Wars Analysis – What does balance in the Force mean?
Since we first saw The Phantom Menace in 1999, audiences wondered what precisely it meant to bring balance to the Force. Anakin Skywalker was prophesied to “bring it” and at the time, we all assumed it meant to bring more Light Side and less Darkness. Which made no sense, since we all knew who Anakin…

The 6 Most Epic Lightsaber Fights in Star Wars (plus 3 that didn’t make the cut)
So many Star Wars movies. So many lightsaber and “lightsaber-adjacent” fight scenes over 42 years. Which saber duels are the best, the most visually stunning, or emotionally moving? I don’t know much about sword technique (<—- we wrote about that here) beyond endlessly watching Lord of the Rings or Xena: Warrior Princess, but I know…
