After finishing the Mandalorian, Laura and David insisted I watch the first of the original trilogy, the movie that marked the beginning of the phenomenon that is Star Wars. As far as I am aware, I've never seen it. (Maybe I did when I was young, but I don't remember having done so.) So here… Continue reading My Introduction to Star Wars Part 2: A New Hope

My Introduction to Star Wars Part 1
Fair warning, this post contains spoilers about the Star Wars franchise in general. I am not one of those people who grew up on Star Wars. I never really had much interest in the franchise, and was always more of a Star Trek person. I made it to my 30s without ever having seen the… Continue reading My Introduction to Star Wars Part 1
Crazy Rich Asians Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ-YX-5bAs0 Kersti Rating: 8/10 Worth Seeing In Theaters: It has some beautiful moments, but there isn't anything you will miss by watching it at home. TLDR: Crazy Rich Asians is a really fun, beautiful, and thoughtful chick flick romance movie. It has a lot of heart, the characters are well developed, and it is a… Continue reading Crazy Rich Asians Review
What Remains of Edith Finch Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0kKF5f8nS0 Kersti Rating: 9/10 (would have been 10/10 if it were longer) Cost vs. Value: At $19.99, if you like narrative in games, it is 100% worth it. TLDR: What Remains of Edith Finch is a masterful piece of storytelling in context of any piece of media, let alone video games. Even if you are not… Continue reading What Remains of Edith Finch Review
Deadpool 2 Movie Recommendation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20bpjtCbCz0 Kersti Rating: 9/10 Worth Seeing In Theaters: I did not regret it, and I would see it in Theaters again, but theres no real special reason to. MVP: Since it was a problem with the first one, let me just say DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN to see this movie, it is rated R… Continue reading Deadpool 2 Movie Recommendation
The Guardian Brothers Movie Opinion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvTw9XJWwWE Kersti Rating: 1/10 On Netflix! I am calling this an opinion and not a review because I have to admit that I did not actually finish the movie. MVP: I could not finish this movie. It was just too bad. I listened to the English dub, and I found almost everything about this movie… Continue reading The Guardian Brothers Movie Opinion
Avengers: Infinity War Movie Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZfuNTqbHE8 Kersti Rating: 8.5/10 Worth Seeing in Theaters: The effects are great, so yes for that. Otherwise, the large screen honestly is not necessary. MVP: This movie was awesome, if you have liked anything about any of the previous Avengers related movies, this one is a must see. While it is pretty much your typical… Continue reading Avengers: Infinity War Movie Review
Wakfu TV Show Recommendation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ-k5T0DFLo Kersti Rating: 8/10 On Netflix! MVP: If you are a fan of shows like Airbender and Steven Universe, Wakfu is the show for you. Like similar shows, it starts off with a general 'kiddy' vibe, but soon becomes a much deeper, much more epic and beautiful experience. I highly recommend watching it in its… Continue reading Wakfu TV Show Recommendation
Mune Movie Reccomendation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-YuxDOO8pU Kersti Rating: 8/10 On Netflix! MVP: I had never heard of Mune before I watched it, but am I glad I did. I fell in love with this movie from the onset. It crafts a beautiful and inspiring world, and is rife with symbology and meaning. While it leaves a little something extra to… Continue reading Mune Movie Reccomendation
Ready Player One Movie Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_eZxSYRhco Kersti Review: 5/10 Worth Seeing in Theaters: Yes, but only for the effects. MVP: In short, this movie was deeply disappointing to me, and I cannot recommend it. I felt more emotional resonance with the 2 minute trailer above than I did at any time during the movie. I was expecting a lot from… Continue reading Ready Player One Movie Review
