Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – Review

“ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY” I remember this time last year, everyone breathed a quick sigh of relief that just said, everything is ok, Star Wars is good again. That’s not to undermine The Force Awakens as a movie,

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – Review

“FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM” Along with many people who were approaching their teen years in the early 2000’s, I was very aware of Harry Potter and how popular it was getting. Just to clarify, I have never
