After 2 years - we can finally see The New Mutants!
The New Mutants - Initial Thoughts
The Credible Nerds watched The New Mutants last night. After two years of delays, the film finally premiered in theaters!
This movie is definitely an X-Men movie and makes occasional references to the main storyline, however it is not the typical X-Men movie. But keep your eyes and ears open for those references! There are 6 main characters (that we haven’t seen on screen before) that you follow throughout the story and the story mostly takes place in one location.
The New Mutants is a character based story and unlike the other films, there is no world ending event, an alien invasion, or millions of people aren’t at risk of being killed. Instead it’s a more intimate story about relationships, making new friends, and coming to terms with new mutant powers.
One thing about this film that stands out from the others, is that it is creepy scary! A lot of jump scares (that aren’t cheesy or forced) and some ‘WTF is happening!’ moments that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. This brought a whole new element to the X-Men movies that I hope gets revisited at some point down the road.
The New Breakfast Club Mutants
Marc and I thought that it was refreshing to have this new take with a superhero movie, and we recommend seeing it in theaters, if you are willing and able to go see it in theaters.
The Credible Nerds will be recording a podcast episode to fully review the film and give our thoughts on The New Mutants, so look for that to be released in the next couple of weeks.

I have to admit that up until recently, Attack of the Clones was one of my least favorite Star Wars movies. I would alternate between Episode II and Return of the Jedi as my least favorite of the Saga. However, during a recent re-watch of the Saga, I realized just how good Attack of the Clones really is and how many important and critical moments there are in this Episode of the Saga.

This movie lays a lot of groundwork for the Star Wars Skywalker Saga and introduces characters, organizations, and the Force that we will revisit over and over again throughout the course of the next 10 films.

It’s a great time to be a Star Wars fan! We should be celebrating our similarities and not ridiculing our differences.

Overall, be grateful that we have a franchise that has endured decades of storytelling and creativity.

The Greatness of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Anyone who knows that I am a Star Wars fan, should also know that I am a Prequel lover and that Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is my favorite Star Wars movie and one of my all time favorite movies. There are many reasons for this and I was recently reminded of some of them. In an article published on The Chronicle of Higher Education's website in October 2012, the author of the essay, Camila Paglia, enumerates on why Episode III is an artistic masterpiece. The essay is lengthy and discusses George Lucas' beginnings and how he came into Star Wars starting from Star Wars in 1977, but the end of the essay delves into Revenge of the Sith. This essay is actually an excerpt from her book, "Glittering Images: A Journey Through Art from Egypt to Star Wars", which I have yet to read but plan to do so at some point.
“Who is the greatest artist of our time? Normally, we would look to literature and the fine arts to make that judgment. But Pop Art's happy marriage to commercial mass media marked the end of an era. The supreme artists of the half century following Jackson Pollock were not painters but innovators who had embraced technology—such as the film director Ingmar Bergman and the singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. During the decades bridging the 20th and 21st centuries, as the fine arts steadily shrank in visibility and importance, only one cultural figure had the pioneering boldness and world impact that we associate with the early masters of avant-garde modernism: George Lucas, an epic filmmaker who turned dazzling new technology into an expressive personal genre.”
