TV Review: The Haunting of Hill House10/17/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  There's definitely nothing wrong. What are you talking about? We're all perfectly fine, clearly. (Image Courtesy of: blackyouthproject.com) Quick Take: The Haunting of Hill House is terrifying yet emotionally complex, exploring the struggles of those who have dealt with trauma with an open heart. While certainly a genuine horror series, it works just as well as pure drama, leading an emotionally resonant conclusion.
Random Thoughts During a Pandemic: Star Wars Reflections, The Magic of Old Film, TV vs. Film9/19/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  I have watched 50+ movies in the past month, and I decided to do something bold... talk about Star Wars for the 50+ time. (Image Courtesy of: etonline.com) As I continue to manage in this pandemic, I find myself overwhelmed with thoughts. In order to get them all out, I wanted to make sure I got them all on the page.
My girlfriend spent a few weeks with me, and we did a lot of movie watching. Thus, films are on my mind. I watched far too much Star Wars, all of the Lord of the Rings movies, and a variety of others as well. All of it together led to an interesting rush of thoughts while we were stuck mostly inside due to this massive global pandemic. I have tried to put together my thoughts in a cohesive form. Instead, it became this, a reflection on film, TV, streaming, and the world at large. Written by: Kevin Berge  Remember when every thing was so simple and happy? I don't because I swear every day of my life felt like the most complicated of days, especially those days I had to decide between watching Yu-Gi-Oh reruns or playing Pikmin. (Image Courtesy of: nytimes.com) When I was putting together my random wrestling thoughts, I found myself stopping before I went on a variety of tangents. The reason is because wrestling is a part of my life, but it is not the whole.
Especially at this time where the world has changed so wildly, it is easy to get lost. The only way we can find our way back is trusting in what makes us happy. We need a sense of normalcy and freedom. I figured instead of bogging down that article, I would write another one. Maybe no one reads it, but I figured I'd just throw out my scattered thoughts in the midst of a pandemic, exploring what I think about day to day because of the state of the United States and the world as a whole. Written by: Kevin Berge  That's right. The selling point of this final season is Darth Maul, the most important character of The Clone Wars that few knew was even alive during The Clone Wars. (Image Courtesy of: starwars.com) Quick Take: Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Final Season carries the weight of later highly regarded seasons of the series. It is weighty, intense, and ultimately wraps up the stories of many of the series' most beloved characters.
TV Introduction: Mindhunter8/15/2020 Written by: Kevin Berge  Agents Ford and Tench or more accurately, Disaster Agent and Annoyed Partner. (Image Courtesy of: hollywoodreporter.com) Quick Take: Mindhunter Season 1 is an insightful, unconventional drama that balances on the edge of thriller territory. While there is little actual action, the show is driven by the threat and idea of violence, only truly let down by its conventional character drama.
