Review - Lightyear (2022)

        Hey guys, Chuck here, and this is my review of Pixar's latest movie Lightyear starring Chris Evans, Keke Palmer, Taika Waititi, and James Brolin.           The movie actually opens with a text that tells us about how Andy's Buzz Lightyear toy from the Toy Story movies was based on a character in a sci-fi movie that exists within the universe of Toy Story , and the movie we're watching is that very movie.          So, the movie itself focuses on the titular space ranger Buzz Lightyear, who inadvertently leads the various crew members on an exploratory vessel stranded on an uncharted planet, and Buzz, along with his friend Commander Hawthorne, work to achieve hyperspace and return everyone home, this completing their mission objective. Unfortunately, the more Buzz attempts the hyperspace launch, the further into the future he goes, until he arrives in a future where the crew, and their descendants, are forced to contend with an army of invading alien robots under the

Review - Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

             Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, I just got back from seeing Jurassic World: Dominion , the third film in the Jurassic World trilogy, and sixth overall in the Jurassic Park franchise. Directed by the returning Colin Trevorrow, this film stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Campbell Scott, and a host of others.              So, a few years have passed since the events of Fallen Kingdom , and dinosaurs have reintegrated into our ecosystem. Unfortunately, InGen's corporate rivals, BioSyn Genetics, have been experimenting with new species of dinosaurs, as well as a form of locusts from the Cretaceous Period. Meanwhile, BioSyn is also after the genetic information hidden in the DNA of Maisie Lockwood, who has been under the care of Owen Grady and Claire Dearing since the events of Fallen Kingdom.  Now, along with Alan Grant, Ellie Satler, and Ian Malcolm, it's up to Owen and Claire to save Maisie, along with a baby Velociraptor named

The Expansion of "Star Wars:" Where It's Going

             Hey guys, Chuck here. It's been a few days, but I'm back once again. The reason I took some time away after the conclusion of Marvel May was due to, first of all, my busy work schedule, and second of all, an out-of-state trip I took to attend my sister's wedding. To that, I say congrats to my sister, Melissa, and her new husband, Devin. Now, with all that out of the way, let's discuss the ever-growing expanded universe of Star Wars .              Now, I should mention that, prior to the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney, another Star Wars  Expanded Universe existed that consisted of various books, comics, and video games. Unfortunately, the canonicity of the Expanded Universe titles, including the highly renowned novel trilogy Heir to the Empire  as well as the beloved Knights of the Old Republic  video game, were being poorly kept track of. George Lucas primarily focused on the big screen movies, as well as the Cartoon Network animated series  The Clone W
