Star Wars & Disney

Posted on November 6, 2012 by kejohns323 Posted in Pop Culture .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…well, more like thirty five years ago, Star Wars, the greatest sci-fi action saga of the entertainment industry was born. Being a production that spanned throughout the next twenty-eight years, generations past and present know and love this timeless series of jedi, droids, humanoid creatures, and epic intergalactic battlefronts. Surely many thought the 2005 installment, Revenge of the Sith, put this series to rest once and for all. But with Disney’s newest acquisition of Lucasfilm, the empire will strike back so to speak.

George Lucas, the famed name behind the franchise, is retiring from producing and directing. Walt Disney Company bought Lucasfilm with a new merger that will add episodes seven, eight, and nine to the original series. The first is intended to release in 2015 and, much like the initial productions; new films will be released every two or three years.  Kathleen Kennedy, seasoned producer and now co-chairman of Lucasfilm will make the newcoming movies. Lucas will serve as a creative consultant on the projects.

Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith will return to theatres for a short run next fall, converted to three-dimensional pictures. Also anticipate the force to be even stronger in the Mouse House as they plan to incorporate Star Wars into their parks, tv syndicates, and games as well. What has Lucas to say about this new hope that’s rising for Star Wars? He seems to look forward to its future.   “For the past thirty five years,” he says, “one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next. It’s now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers. I’ve always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime.”

So, the Star Wars legacy is about to continue on! I, along with many other fans may question its new continuity. But much like we surely experienced, the generations of Star Wars lovers will bond through embracing its future and remembering its past. It will be interesting to see what more can happen a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

Fred 2: Night Of The Living Fred

Posted on October 23, 2011 by James Agee Posted in Movies .

Looking for a good movie to watch this Halloween season? Well, look no further. There are two groups of viewers out there, and there simply is no in between. The first group loves Fred and the second doesn’t care for his sense of humor. I fit into the first group, or at least I do for the Fred movies. I feel like there should be more movies like this, not in the aspect of how it is written or the storyboard, but more so relating to the style in which it is shot. It is very down to Earth and you get the feeling that this isn’t a very professional movie, it’s relatable! Before we go any further though, let me answer a few questions that you may have bouncing around in your Halloween excited head!

First, let me tell you that the part of Bertha is no longer played by Jennette McCurdy from the show iCarly. They have recase the part of Bertha for some unknown reason, but I don’t enjoy it when they switch out the roles of main characters. Second, the story is still very much like the first and you will notice elements that resemble the first Fred movie very closely. He still visits a shop where comedic humor is exchanged between him and the shop owners, Derf will appear for a moment in the movie just as he did in the first, and for those of you who don’t know, Derf is Freds imaginary opposite in regards to personality, and one last thing that you may want to know about is that this movie makes Fred seem more “unstable” than the first. While the wild imagination is a very important aspect to Fred, this movie takes it almost too far.

Overall, the movie is very entertaining and is definitely something that you will want to watch this Halloween season. It still has the same familiar humor of Fred that we have grown to love, a comical storyboard, and of course the wildly imaginative character of Fred. We recommend this movie as a good watch for this holiday season!
