I honestly wanted to stay away from everything Blade Runner 2049 when it was announced. I saw the first Blade Runner in June of 1982 in theaters and I have never been the same cinematically. It is what I base any and all sci-fi movie’s to this day. Ridley Scott changed me as a director […]Read More
There’s no finer time of the year and no film festival that remotely compares with the 8 days of unbridled genre lunacy and (often alcohol fueled) fun that is Fantastic Fest.

So here we are, finally face to face with the first (of many more to come) “stand alone” Star Wars and I’m pleased as punch to say Rogue One is a tremendous and worthwhile addition to the ever-growing Star Wars ethos.
