The Incredibles 2: An Unnecessary Movie

The Incredibles 2 is a motion picture.

OKLAHOMA CITY – I recently went to see The Incredibles 2 with my buddy Cary. It is unnecessary. And a little boring. And kinda bad.

“But Grant, I thought it was amazing! How can u possibly say it isn’t amazing to (sic) LOL!!~!”

A Brief Consideration of Star Wars: The Last Jedi

But seriously, is this really the LAST Jedi? I mean, really.

As you well know, there’s a new Star Wars movie. Is it good? Yeah, it’s okay. Do a lot of people hate it? Yeah, a good number of people despise it. Does that make sense? It seems to depend on whether or not you are a super major Star Wars fanatic.

The Prince of Egypt: A Preview of My First Viewing

The long wait is over.

I will soon be watching this. The long wait is over.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Nearly four years ago (March 2013) my buddy Brazle and I embarked on a zany journey through Disney’s catalogue of traditionally-animated movies (I cannot believe it has been that long); I called it the Epic Disney Watchfest.
