Today, we’re talking about movies we can watch over and over again. It turns out all three of us are fond of rewatching our favorites, and so we all have a lot of movies we could list off immediately. But we opted to go not for our most rewatched films of all time (because we […]
Here at Avenging Force, you could say we’re pretty big fans of Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim. So naturally, when the sequel came out, we all made our way to the theater to take it in. We sat down after giving ourselves time to think about it and talked out our reactions. We tried very hard […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! If there’s anything we can all agree on (okay, there are a lot of things we all agree on), it’s that we are suckers for a good battle scene. Whether it’s massive armies coming together on the battlefield or a small ragtag group up against overwhelming odds, there is something […]
Happy Veterans Day! Today is a day that we honor those men and women who have joined the military and chosen to commit their life to serving their nation. To commemorate the date, we have chosen to highlight characters that to us, exemplify the spirit of fighting the good fight, and who serve their fictional […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! Today’s 5xF is a topic near and dear to our hearts: film scores. When done well, a movie’s music can end up being just as important as the characters or script. It sets the mood, tugs the heartstrings, and the best scores can instantly transport us into their world in just a few […]
Welcome to Five by Friday! Today marks a day that’s twenty years in the making! All three of us are enormous fans of Independence Day and alien films in general, and today Independence Day: Resurgence is finally hitting theaters in the US. The original is in common rotation in all three of our households (we tip […]
If you’re anything like me, you can’t get anything done in a soundless vacuum. The opportunity for distraction is far too great. Someone walking by, the sound of construction nearby, a conversation at the next table… no matter where you are, the possibility of your focus being anywhere but on what you’re working on is […]
(Press play on the above track as you read this post. It’s what Ham would want.) If you haven’t noticed, all three of us here at Avenging Force are pretty into Pacific Rim. Teija and Sarah both list it as one of their favorite movies of all time, and we’ve been known to spend hours discussing […]
Over the years there have been quite a few movies and tv shows that feature women kicking ass in different ways. Some of them use their fists, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Sydney Bristow; others use bows and arrows, like Susan Pevensie and Merida. I have a soft spot for the ones who carry […]
Here at Avenging Force we’re getting pretty tired of the same-old, same-old. ‘Shipper wars and “Team [Couple]!” cries are getting pretty played out, and we’re well past tired of great stories and characters getting watered down to who they might kiss at the end of the story. We’re here for great friendships–good, solid, thought-out friendships, […]
