Wear your hazmat suit! We're blogging film and television.
It’s no secret, many of the actors seen in Columbo came from Star Trek the Original Series or went on to star in Space: 1999 and even Babylon 5. But what about the greatest box office science fiction saga of all time. Here is a list of Columbo actors who went on and went a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. In this article, we’re only including actors, including voice, and not crew.
Ten Star Wars motion pictures,
and there will be at least one more. Here we rank them from best, most enjoyable to the worst disappointments. It was too easy to pick the best, so we start with number 1.
Rogue One,
is more of a war film than any so far in the Star Wars franchise. Having to live up to the nostalgia of A New Hope, Rogue One had to tell an effective story with new characters and old. After multiple viewings over the past year, it’s time to share a deeper look into 5 interesting plot points you may have missed. For the purpose of this article, we’re not writing about Easter eggs. Rather, we’re discussing how the story was executed.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi,
may be the biggest box office draw of 2017. Claiming episode “8”, it is the second of the trilogy for a new generation. A mix of legacy and new, how will will we remember this latest entry of the Disney/Star Wars brand? In short, the review is complicated.
We introduce a new category of movie posters, the veiled hero.
Similar to a hero alone, the veiled hero displays an incomplete character with an opaque or otherwise abstract background. Star Wars The Last Jedi released a set of their favorite characters on posters with distinctive style. But is it original and have we seen this before?
There are rumors,
that Hawk the Slayer stole ideas from the original Star Wars (a.k.a. A New Hope). We think that’s crazy and list the very few coincidences. Read more about it and save yourself embarrassment before spreading false similarities between the two.
Carrie Fisher (1956-2016),
belongs to galaxies far, far away as well as home long ago and today. We pay homage by choosing our favorite screen caps from Episode 4: A New Hope.
Rogue One a Star Wars Story,

A spoiler-free blog of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
Reserving tickets for an early Saturday morning screening, I thought I could avoid the chaos on opening weekend. Unable to reserve IMAX seats anything better than second row, we chose the 2-D screening at a local theater just a 5 minute walk from home. Arriving 45-minutes early, we managed to get 4th row seats. When the lights dimmed and the trailers rolled, I was relieved we finally made it without any thing spoiled.
With Star Wars Ep 7: The Force Awakens,
fans are anxious to forget their disappointments of the original trilogy. The Phantom Menace is a perfect example of hype after decades of waiting. We’ve come across an interesting article from goliath.com, that opines 7 questionable casting decisions from the film. Unlike A New Hope, Episode 1 invited many established talent to be part of the legacy.
Before we go through the list, we do our best distinguishing poor acting and presentation from poor writing. Did the casting decision bring excitement to the role? When it comes to the bad lines, we’ll try to be objective and look past it. Let’s retell the controversies!
