If you follow me on social media or this site, then you know I spent last weekend at Star Wars Celebration 2019. To say it was amazing was an understatement. Sure, my flight home was cancelled due to Chicago weather and I was “stuck” another day. But I made the best of it with my friend and fellow The Geekly Show host, Amiyrah from 4 Hats and Frugal. These 5 days were filled with laughter, chills, and even tears. 

Oh my goodness guys… we just got the Star Wars Episode IX trailer and it was EVERYTHING! If you missed the news, I am HERE at Star Wars Celebration and YES, I was at the panel where they released the trailer. The fact that I was in the room during this epic moment was surreal. I still can’t believe I was there, but don’t worry, I recorded my reaction live for you.

Alright guys, hear me out first. I know that a lot of people want Kylo Ren and Rey together just like I do. Maybe it is the sap in me or maybe it is because I just adore them both so much. I cannot be alone in this. I can’t. They are amazing apart, and would make a great couple. Sure Kylo is immature at times, but I really think Rey could reign him in. They had a moment in Episode VIII and I loved it (I even listed it as one of my top 5 favorite moments in The Last Jedi). How awesome would it be if they ran the galaxy together?

We just got a new clip from Avengers: Endgame and it made my jaw literally drop. Captain America has some choice words to say about Thanos, and let’s just say they aren’t up to his normal standards. Now, I have always been a Team Iron Man kind of girl BUT I think Captain America just pulled me over to Team Cap. At least a little bit. The man grew some balls! I have always felt he was a too much of a goody-two-shoes for me, but I am loving this new Cap! Now, if we could just get the beard back…

This weekend I took my entire family to see Shazam. Yes, even my 6 and 7 year old daughters. I need to point out that they have seen Avengers: Infinity War, and they are pretty used to language and violence in films. Say about that what you will – maybe we aren’t the best parents? – but they both loved Shazam! They were cracking up – we all were – and even cheering at the action. At one point, during a particularly violent and potentially scary scene, my 7 year old even yelled “now that is the action I was waiting for!”. Shazam is easily the second best DCEU movie, falling behind Wonder Woman. Read on for my full Shazam review.

A Dog’s Way Home is the heartwarming adventure of Bella, the brave and adventurous dog that embarks on an epic 400-mile journey home after she is separated from her beloved human, Lucas. We have two dogs and after my daughters watched the movie, I think they got a whole new appreciation for their pets – and the unconditional love that they have for us. Director Charles Martin Smith actually said that is what he hopes kids and families take away from A Dog’s Way Home, so he was definitely doing something right. 

My daughters and I love the firs two Descendants movies and are really looking forward to Descendants 3. I am, and always have been, a villains girl. I love me a good villain. Which is probably one of the reasons I love this franchise so much. They are all kids of the villains and it is amazing. Sure they are not AS evil, but we do see them being evil here and there and I love it. Well this morning the Descendants 3 “mystery” trailer dropped featuring two new VKs – and I am here for it!

Avengers: Endgame is going to be hitting theaters THIS MONTH – and the hype is REAL guys! I cannot wait to see this movie on the big screen. I need closure! Of course we have yet to see too much, but as I mentioned in my Endgame trailer two breakdown and Endgame special look breakdown – we do have some information. However, I live by the motto never trust the Russo Brothers, so who really knows what we will see. As an avid comic book reader, I am going to do my best to prepare with the 5 comics you should read before seeing it. But since we haven’t really gotten any information on where the story is going, this is all speculation at this point.
