In my “Catching up on 2018” posts, I review films that I saw in my busy end-of-the-year rush to catch up with as many movies from 2018 that I’d missed. Good lord! What is the behind-the-scenes story that explains this dud? Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are both c

“And Now Our Watch is Ended” — Josh Bids Farewell to Game of Thrones
Looking back on eight seasons of Game of Thrones, I am in awe of what creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have been able to accomplish. They brought the novels of George R. R. Martin’s to glorious life, hooking me deeply into the stories and characters. It’s been a
