William Shakespeare’s Star Wars by Ian Doescher
When you’re a fan of the Bard and a fan of the Wars, there’s nothing to do but to read this book. Peppered with insightful asides, well-crafted Shakespearean insults, and elaborate illustrations (see below), this book/play/novelization, written in perfect iambic pentameter (the English major in me is whooping appreciatively), actually gave me a better understanding…

Imperium
I may have just read the Harry Potter books last year, but I grew up watching the movies. For me, Daniel Radcliffe has always been the Boy Who Lived. And maybe I’ve been holding on to my youth, or maybe I haven’t seen enough of his recent work, but since the last HP movie was released…

Man Down trailer
I don’t know if you know this, but I love Shia LaBeouf. And I love war movies and psychological thrillers. I cannot wait to see this.

Ghostbusters
You know what this movie does? It makes you laugh. Melissa McCarthy puts on some ridiculous head gear, you grin and blow air through your nostrils a little harder than usual. Kristin Wiig gets slimed by ghost after ghost, you gag, and you chuckle. Leslie Jones opens her mouth, you try unsuccessfully to commit her lines to…

Me Before You
Despite knowing that Jojo Moyes wrote the screenplay—or perhaps because of it—I was disappointed in how much detail was left out of the movie. While I understand the desire to make this adaptation a light-to-medium-weight-hearted, tear-jerking chick flick that appeals to the tissue-bearing masses, by glossing over, condensing and cutting so much of the book’s content, quite a bit was…

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
This was nothing if not a Michael Bay film, and I unabashedly love Michael Bay films. I also love movies based on true stories, films about heroism, brotherhood, and war, and a lot of action, so this movie got two thumbs way way up from me. Not to mention John Krasinski’s talent and general appearance.

The Good Dinosaur
Oh, man. This movie tugged at my heartstrings and tickled my funny bone all at once. I mean: “This is Fury. He protects me from the creatures that crawl in the night. This is Destructor. She protects me from mosquitoes. This is Dream Crusher. He protects me from having unrealistic goals. And this is Debbie …”

In the Heart of the Sea
I mean, Thor is in it, so I was never not going to like it. Also, all of the scenes featuring the whale are incredible, and it’s the story that inspired Melville to write Moby Dick. So yeah, it’s good.

Spectre
Da na na naaaaaaaa na na na. Na nuh na na naaaaaaa. Go see this movie. If you have the opportunity, go see it with Kennedy Cullen. Both are highly entertaining, if not a little ridiculous, and I mean that in the best way possible. And it’s always a pleasure to watch Daniel Craig… and…
