Normally I would be excited and well into a month full of classic Christmas films, newer Hallmark Christmas films (yes, I know, leave me alone), and purchasing a couple of cool new ornaments.

Mulan (2020)
My “reflection” on this film 1998’s animated Disney film Mulan is one of my favorite films. It managed to blend brilliant action sequences (that awesome avalanche scene) with an engaging and inspired tale. The 2020 version of the film attempts to do something similar with a few changes, additions, and removals and, to a degree,Continue reading “Mulan (2020)”

Cosplay Break: The d’Arda Sisters
Remi and Noelle I met the d’Arda Sisters at the Houston Con back in 2014.
