There is something great about watching a character who doesn’t care about the opinions of those around them, who has lost almost everything and who is given seemingly free-reign to say and do whatever they wish. That joy is brought to … Continue reading Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) Review
You’d think with their previous track record, Lucasfilm and Disney as their parent company, would avoid prequels. The Star Wars prequel trilogy is not fondly remembered and many blame it for ruining a (practically) perfect trilogy series.
