If you enjoy reading “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austin, then I highly recommend you go see “Pride + Prejudice + Zombies.” Yes, I know that we hate when our beloved books are corrupted by modern storylines, but there are some redeeming qualities to this movie that make it worth the price of admission. I’m […]
Earlier this weekend, J.K. Rowling revealed the location of some of the schools in the Wizarding World. While there are a few schools located throughout the world, since most wizarding families choose to homeschool their children, there are only “eleven long-established and prestigious wizarding schools worldwide.” In a recent post on Pottermore, the location of four of […]
The 5th Wave directed by J Blakeson music by Henry Jackman Whether they stay faithful to the original book, or keep merely a framework of a story, movies adapted from books are frequently not as good.

Let me start out by saying that like so many people, I’ve been a huge Star Wars fan since I was a kid. I absolutely love the original three films – I can (and will) watch them over and over and over. Now, the prequels… well. There were parts of those films that were good, […]
If you’re a fan of Harry Potter, you’ve probably felt a bit deprived of the wizarding world without a new movie or book to enjoy, but lucky for us, J.K. Rowling hasn’t abandoned this realm quite yet. As you probably already know, a new movie trilogy inspired by (and named after) the book, Fantastic Beasts and […]
Independence Day returns for a sequel that is a lot of the same, with only a few surprises. Just about every single original cast member is returning for the film including Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Vivica A Fox, and many more. One major character and actor not returning is Will Smith. Many were upset over […]
