Welcome to Rick's Writing Room

Star Wars has been on a journey for decades: prequels, requels, tv shows and updated versions of the older films...Han shot first. I was never overly obessed with this franchise. I always did enjoy them for what they were. Fun space adventures of good versus evil. Rebels versus Empire. Hope versus facism. Okay, little more complex if you get too deep into them. Overall, its the hero's journey. We got the originals and a little over a decade later, the prequels. Another decade

Would have gone with the 'be careful what you wish for' tag for my tag, but I like to go with my bad jokes/puns/obscure pop culture references. It's another horror movie watch for the year. Absolutely love and enjoy them, even when they kind of suck. This one, however, did not.

No...it does not. For a multitude of reasons.

Thirty years. That's how long this franchise has been around. It was thought to end on a trilogy. Then a fourth came out. Then a requel. Sequel the requel. Then finally, Scream 7. I first saw Scream when I rented it one weekend back in high school. I was staying at my aunt's house with my brother, Travis, and after my cousins were asleep I popped it in. The opening is one of the best openings of a horror movie. It grips you with unease and fear as Drew Barrymore gets a call f

Don't normally see two movies on a single weekend, but had to support Markiplier and been wanting to see Send Help...so I saw both.
