I finally got around to watching what I thought was the next film in the MCU’s chronological order I’ve been trying to stick to, but I screwed up. I watched “Avengers: Endgame” last night, without watching “Ant-Man,” “Doctor Strange,” “Captain America: Civil War,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Thor: Ragnarok,” and “Avengers: Infinity War.” I turned on “Endgame” …
I had stalled out with “Age of Ultron,” which I hadn’t got around to watching before my one-week library rental expired. That was last August. I just acquired an Amazon Fire Stick for several reasons, not the least of which was to watch “Hamilton” on Disney Plus. A bonus for that service is that it’s …
Last Tuesday (the 21st) I took advantage of a theater gift card I got for Christmas and went out to see the latest “Star Wars” film. I enjoyed it. I wouldn’t say it was the best of the nine episodes in the Jedi/Skywalker story, but it was far from the worst. I might have enjoyed …

An excellent documentary, as many reviewers agree. Now I’m debating finding the DVDs for the recent “Echo in the Canyon” doc about the music scene which developed in Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and the David Crosby doc “Remember My Name.”

I made it through both Guardians of the Galaxy and was amused. I wonder which A-list actor is going to be in “Ultron?” After all, Robert Redford had a major role in “Winter Soldier,” and in GotG 2 Kurt Russell had a giant part as principal antagonist. Then there was Sly Stallone turning up once …
I’ve now seen nine of the first ten movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (I’ll have to go back to “The Incredible Hulk.”) I’ve been pretty favorably impressed with most of them. Sure, they’re comic-book based, but hey, a whole lot of movies are based on preposterous material. Who read “The Bridges of Madison County” …
I watched Iron Man 3 last night. I have now seen 7 of the 8 films in the MCU up to that point in the saga. Next up, Thor: The Dark World. I’ve seen more movies in two months than I usually watch in 7 years! That’s true. I started going to movies after years …
Now that “Endgame” is out, I thought I’d at least make a stab at watching some of these movies. Better late than never, right? I checked, and it seems that my state library has copies of most and possibly all of them. I dutifully scoured the internet for advice on how to watch them and …
