After finishing The Mandalorian, my husband and sister-in-law insisted I watch the first of the original trilogy, the movie that marked the beginning of the Star Wars phenomenon. I'd never seen it, so here are my first impressions of A New Hope. I assume everyone has seen A New Hope, but if not, Spoiler Warning.… 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. I didn't grow up on Star Wars. I'm a Star Trek person. I reached my 30s without seeing the original Star Wars trilogy. I've gleaned a lot from pop culture, memes, etc, and major moments in the franchise are spoiled for me with minimal… Continue reading My Introduction to Star Wars Part 1
Lupin the Third: The first
https://youtu.be/Uw7jrQQK3Mc Lupin the Third: The First trailer I have never heard of this franchise before, but this movie looks great. I'm excited for this to come out. Apparently it has a pretty great history.
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

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.

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.

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.

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
The Breadwinner Recommendation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQBQw-Bh1pg Kersti Rating: 8/10 On Netflix! MVP: Overall, an amazing movie, but far from the uplifting and hopeful tones of its predecessors. By the same studio that brought you The Secret of Kells and The Song of the Sea, The Breadwinner continues the legacy of the studio's stunning visuals, and earnest storytelling. Unlike its predecessors however,… Continue reading The Breadwinner Recommendation
