Every now and again, I’ll be talking about movies, TV shows or books etc. that I’m currently enjoying. Whenever I discover or rediscover something that excites me I like to share it with the world. So without further ado, these are the things that have been bouncing around in my head recently.

I’m fed up with all the George Lucas bashing. This man has created two of the greatest franchises in the history of cinema, Star Wars and Indiana Jones and deserves all the respect in the world. The summer movie season began with people being angry about the direction Indiana Jones went in (alien artifacts) and it is ending with people being angry about the direction he is taking Star Wars (too kid friendly). George Lucas ruined Indy! George Lucas is ruining Star Wars! Blah, blah, blah. Give me a break people. There would be no Star Wars or Indiana Jones if Mr. Lucas hadn’t created them in the first place. What does ruin them mean anyway? I didn’t love the prequel trilogy (in comparison to the original), but it certainly hasn’t ruined Empire Strikes Back for me. George Lucas can make 80 terrible Star Wars movies in a row and Empire would still be my favorite movie of all time.
