Solo: A Star Wars Story is One of The Strongest in a Franchise That Keeps Getting Better (Review)
2018 keeps delivering. This week it was Solo: A Star Wars Story. I had my doubts about whether Disney could deliver its promised one Star Wars movie per year. I thought maybe the quality might start to slip or something but it feels like the opposite is true. The...
Ron Howard Defies the Odds with Solo: A Star Wars Story (Review)
The famed smuggler, scoundrel and hero Han Solo once said long ago in a galaxy far away to, “Never tell me the odds.” I can only imagine that was the same thing director Ron Howard kept telling himself when he was brought on board for Solo: A Star Wars Story after...
Everything Affects Everything in 13 Reasons Why Season 2 (Review)
13 Reasons Why is one of Netflix's most popular and controversial shows. When season one hit the streaming service last year, the show received a lot of criticism for it's depiction of the teen suicide. Despite this, the show drew in the ratings and was eventually...
Deadpool 2 is Refreshingly Funny But I worry it Won’t Age Well (Review)
I know I said no more superhero movies for a while, but this week it was either Deadpool 2 or Show Dogs. I stand by my choice. Based on the trailer I saw for Show Dogs, I wouldn’t wish the film on anyone. But Deadpool 2 was a treat. It has all the things I like...
First Reformed is A Profound Film Full of Conviction & Tension (Review)
One of the best things a well written movie can do is slowly build tension throughout. There is something about it that just slowly edges the viewer to the edge of their seat. Writer and Director Paul Schrader crafted a superb screenplay with his latest film First...

Reggie and The Full Effect’s 41 is Classic Punk for a Modern Audience (Review)
41 by Reggie and The Full Effect is a real blast from the past. I really enjoyed the 90’s ska punk feel of this album, in the same vein as Less Than Jake’s Hello Rockview, or Anthem. What sets Reggie and the Full Effect’s album apart is its level of variety. 41 has A...
George Thorogood & The Destroyers Live in Lethbridge 05/05/18 (Review)
George Thorogood & The Destroyers took their 'Rock Party' tour to Lethbridge, Alberta over the weekend on May 5, 2018 and proved that even old guys can still kick a lot of ass. As silly as seeing an elder Thorogood on stage wagging his tongue at the crowd while...
Bad Samaritan: David Tennant is Masterful But The Film Was Forgettable (Review)
I have to give Bad Samaritan credit for being truly an original work, at least in the sense that sense that it’s not based on anything else. It’s not based on something in a different medium; it’s not a prequel, sequel or reboot to anything else. That’s got to count...
Avengers: Infinity War is Apocalyptic & Satisfying Even Though I’m Sick to Death of Superhero Movies (Review)
I don’t know why, but I’ve been looking forward to this Avengers: Infinity War. From the trailers and all the stuff in the after-credits scenes, it felt like all Marvel movies were leading up to this. Now, having seen the film, I can say this is absolutely true....
