My Rating:
I know, this isn’t my usual flavor of movie to see in the theater, but when you have a wife and daughter who love Stitch, you make some compromises. In my case, it was to see Thunderbolts* next. With that said, I won’t summarize this movie because it follows the same plot as the 2002 animated film. We’ll just jump right into the review.

My Rating:
I know this movie has been out for about six weeks. Anyone who was going to see this movie has probably already seen it. That’s not going to stop me from writing a review, because why the hell not? The old Avengers are gone, and there’s nobody to defend New York against a new, emerging threat. Except for a band of rogue misfits.
Here is my review of Thunderbolts*.
Last month was Star Wars month and I’m a little behind with the recap. The end of the school year is always pretty busy. Be that as it may, no pun intended, Star Wars 2025 was pretty awesome.
I did watch all 11 movies, as is the goal every May. The Andor series concluded this year on May 13th. I’ve already talked a lot about this series and shared my final thoughts. It’s an amazing series; probably the best in the franchise.
Directed by: Alonso Ruizpalacios
Ep 10: Make it Stop – 48 min
Ep 11: Who Else Knows? – 42 min
Ep 12: Jedha, Kyber, Erso – 45 min
I know it’s been over a week since Andor ended. This final post is coming late because there was a lot to process. By now I’m sure most sites have posted their comments and thoughts but I will do it anyway. The events of these three episodes lead right up to the beginning of Rogue One so it seems pointless to talk about the Easter Eggs.
A year ago, I achieved a long-time goal of running my first half-marathon. At that time, I hadn’t decided if I would do it again. Given that the race landed on Star Wars Day this year, I felt I needed to, so I ran a second half-marathon.
I completed the race in 2:46 which is 14 minutes faster than last year. The biggest contributing factor to the faster time is that I never slowed down to walk; I ran the whole thing. The weather wasn’t perfect but it wasn’t terrible. The occasional light rain was a pleasant relief. In some cases, I hardly noticed it was raining at all.
Despite the rain, I still had fun running the race. I may even have had more fun this year than last year. Perhaps that’s because I better understood what I was getting myself into.
