The 10 Sexiest Characters in the Star Wars Universe

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

As Disney commences with re-defining the Star Wars brand, or “brand-scrubbing” as this EW column puts it, it seems Lucasfilm is trying to wipe Anakin Skywalker and the Clonetroopers from our consciousness (have at it). The new Lucasfilm seems hell-bent on semi-reinventing the brand, and relying heavily on Original Trilogy-based content to do so. For […]

G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a Better G.I. Joe Story, But Not a Great Movie

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Oh boy, this one’s gonna cause some fights. The “one” I’m referring to is both the movie and this review. Based on other early reviews I’ve read and the primary Twitter reaction, a lot of you are going to disagree with me. This review is not going to endear me to many of my […]
