The Loneliest Planet (2011)

Last updated on: November 7, 2012 at 6:03 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

When You Wish Upon Star Wars – Episode Seven

Last updated on: October 30, 2012 at 10:36 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

So, Princess Leia is a Disney Princess now. Despite all of the fanboy dreams that are kindled by the news, I still can't get excited about it. Lucas did a thorough job of spoiling my enjoyment of the world he created. Still... if Disney hired me as a consultant, here's what I'd suggest... Read more
