True Story Movies 1: 42
I’m best described as an excitable, casual sports fan. Outside of the Olympics, I generally only pay attention to Hockey, Baseball and Swimming. Hockey because I’m Canadian, Baseball because I used to play it as a kid, and I’ve got … Continue reading

Indiana Jones movies 4 – Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The first three Indiana Jones movies all released within the 1980’s. I don’t remember where I read this theory from, but there’s a theory where film sequels should either be released within 5 years of its predecessor, or at least … Continue reading

Indiana Jones movies 3: The Last Crusade
Even though Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was a huge financial success, the controversy and mixed reception surrounding it made director Steven Spielberg feel guilty. After the mixed reception, Spielberg decided to complete the trilogy, not just to … Continue reading

Indiana Jones movies 1 – Raiders of the Lost Ark
Last year, I looked at all of the Star Ware movies, going through most of them in the spring, and looking at Solo much later. Indiana Jones shares a bit of history with the Star Wars franchise. Also as a … Continue reading

Star Wars Movies 16 – Solo: A Star Wars Story
Solo: A Star Wars Story has a very unique distinction among the Star Wars movies. It’s the only movie in the franchise to be considered a box office bomb. Generally speaking, a movie must gross somewhere around twice its budget … Continue reading
