WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT NEEDS A SEQUEL!

Firstly, I wanted to dedicate this article to the loving memory of two remarkable people who worked on Who Framed Roger Rabbit . The film's animation director Richard Williams, who unfortunately passed away last year, did such a fantastic job pairing animation with the live-action elements and developed  superb animation with a team of other talented animators. And it also goes without saying that the late Bob Hoskins gave a very memorable and well-realized performance as P.I. Eddie Valiant. I found the character to be so relatable and a great protagonist, and it's a shame we lost such a great actor. Rest in peace to them both, they'll be greatly missed and remembered for their incredible work in this movie and all the films they worked on. You ever have one of those movies that just fills you with so much joy? For me, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of those movies. Loosely based off of Gary K. Wolf's mystery novel "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?", Who Framed Rog...

MY JOURNEY WITH THE PREQUELS & WHY I LOVE THEM

To preface I never thought I'd see the day where I wrote about the  Star Wars  Prequel Trilogy again because the last time I thought I would be finished with them was when I reviewed them on this blog back in 2017 before  The Last Jedi  came out. And I will say those thoughts I had on all 3 films back then are nothing short of outdated. My viewpoints have changed on all of them and I've come to the point in my life where I've learned to appreciate any type of fictional story I experience and find the positives in how these stories were told. I don't feel the need to delete my previous reviews. I am proud of how I wrote them and it's part of my history as a writer and a creator online and I feel they certainly add to the story I'm about to tell here as well. But to start out I want to take you all back to the very beginning before this love of Star Wars all started for me. In fact, I might as well name this article "My Star Wars Story", but, really, th...

MY ADVICE FOR NEW COMIC READERS

Throughout my life I’ve read comics here and there, some found in magazines, comic strips from the paper, comics pertaining to movies I liked and even something as crazy as a one and done single issue of a Fantastic Four comic I read in my cousin’s backyard found in a Popsicle Stick box when Marvel had Popsicle flavors...yes that was real. All that said, it wasn’t until Avengers Infinity War came out that fired me up to think, "hey, I want to read these regularly." Then months passed and I went to buy books at my local comic shop. I came out of my new comic reader shell and continued to read and enjoy comics more and more. I think it’s safe to say that, in whatever medium, there are so many creators out there and no matter how many stories people have read over the years, it’s not likely even comic “experts” know everything there is to know about comics. That isn’t to say people aren’t passionate, I mean that art-form’s awesome for how it unleashed all this amazing cr...
