Gerry Conway Says It’s Time to talk about “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
by Gerry Conway
EDITOR’S NOTE: This review is slightly longer and more into cultural-political analysis than the previous review of The Last Jedi on this page. Okay, much longer and more into cultural-political analysis, we admit. But hey, diversity is how we roll over here at TVWriter™. (Uh-oh, we used the D word. Hope the White House won’t mind.) Hope you enjoy both POVs.
Time to talk about “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
(I’m going to assume that by now, Sunday of opening weekend, you’ve seen the movie, because, if you haven’t, a: what’s wrong with you? and b: why are you reading my blog?)

—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—
Indie Video: Why Film Students Are God’s Chosen
EDITOR’S NOTE FROM MUNCHMAN:
I didn’t make this video, but I sure wish I did.
If yer friendly neighborhood munchaderio ends up not being able to live forever (although I sure don’t know why, or how, that could possibly be) then I want to die and live in the same hell as the crew in this behind-the-scenes. Christ knows that I already feel like I know ’em.
‘SEEfest’ Is A Must-See
by Dawn McElligott
Having trouble catching films from Croatia or thereabouts? Itching to have your movie shot in Belgrade screened in Beverly Hills? Rather than leaving cinephiles stranded, SEEfest has been connecting moviegoers with films from South East Europe since 2002.
As it says on the festival website, “Founded in 2002 and incorporated in 2006, the South East Europe Film Festival in Los Angeles (SEEfest) pioneered the concept of regional, cross-border programming with issue-driven films that tell a larger story about South East Europe, where borders of all kinds are fluid and porous just as often as poisonous.”
By 2012, it was judged by Flavorwire.com to be among the 10 best “under-the-radar” film festivals in America.” During last year’s event, festival goers were still able to snatch up tickets, refreshments, and parking at bargain basement prices.
