This will be the last official trailer before the series premiers next month. I think I’ve said this before, this show looks like it will be something fun to watch. It should remind us of what drew us to Star Wars as a kid while drawing more young fans in.
For those of us who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, this will feel like Goonies in space … and I’m here for it! This will be part of the official canon but I’m guessing we won’t see a lot of direct ties to the Skywalker Saga. I do expect a few Easter eggs/fan service elements.
I’m looking forward to it. I think it’s going to be fun.
If the words “Wax On, Wax Off” don’t mean anything to you then you might be too young for this list. Growing up in the 80’s it was a mantra all kids knew. “Don’t forget to breathe, in through nose, out through mouth.” We all wanted to be Danny LaRusso and we all wanted a Mr. Miyagi to teach us where karate comes from. These movies took me back.
I was in Taekwondo more than 20 years ago and I still remember some of it. I hope to convince my daughter to take some form of self-defense and I might even join her. Despite my age, my knees are much better today than they were when I first took Taekwondo. All of the running I have been doing has made them stronger. Anyway, enough reminiscing, let’s talk about the Karate Kid movies.
Directed by: Shawn Levy Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman My Rating:
It’s rare for us to be able to see one movie in the theater but to see two is even more extraordinary. I know this movie has been out for a while and most have probably already seen it. If you have not seen it Deadpool & Wolverine will be available for streaming on-demand October 1st.
As you can tell from my rating, I really enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed just about everything about it. I love the fact that it doesn’t take itself too seriously; I love the action and the comedy; I love the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
The general plot, without giving away too much, is that Deadpool needs to save his family and friends and there is only one person that can help him do that.
Prior to watching this movie, I would advise that you should probably watch both seasons of Loki. Obviously, the prior two films would be helpful as well as Doctor Strange.
If you have seen the previous two films then you know what to expect. This film is equally as obscene and has just as much gratuitous violence. It is obvious these guys enjoy playing these characters. I think they had just as much fun making this film as I did watching it.

I’m late making this post, it’s been a busy September. Initially, I didn’t have a theme when I selected the movies for this month. Then I noticed that of the 5 movies I had originally picked, 4 of them had female leads. Therefore, I dropped Sneakers (which is a good movie, btw) for Salt so I could have a female lead mystery film month. Let’s get started.
I don’t hide that I’m a bit of a nerd and this goes beyond the fact that I play video games. As a programmer, I’m very data-driven. So much so that I keep spreadsheets on my game progression in World of Warcraft. After playing the game for nearly 20 years, I have built quite a toon army. So how else am I supposed to keep track of all those alts? Now that we have bid adieu to the dragons, let’s take a look at Dragonflight by the numbers.
Another World of Warcraft expansion is in the books. While we prepare for The War Within let’s reflect on Dragonflight, Blizzard’s 10th expansion. This will cover some of my likes and dislikes regarding the story, the content, and new and updated systems.
Overall it is a decent expansion. It’s much better than Shadowlands and, in my humble opinion, it’s better than Burning Crusade and Warlords of Draenor. Wrath of the Lich King remains my favorite of the expansions, followed by Legion and Dragonflight may just come in third. The dragons have always been one of my favorite races in WoW.
