The 1982 action classic First Blood occupies a unique place in cinematic history, even compared to the other films within its franchise. While the Rambo sequels turned Sylvester Stallone’s titular protagonist into a patriotic, heroic action hero who fought to preserve the American way of life, the first entry in the series is a grounded character drama about trauma and loss. The film served as a representation of post-traumatic stress disorder that a generation of soldiers dealt with in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. While fictionalized, First Blood tackled serious systematic issues about the mistreatment of veterans. While Stallone…

But the new novels aren’t sequels—instead, they imagine what would have happened if Tris picked a different path for herself. “Not a prequel, not a sequel, not a spinoff,…
With 65 being the standard retirement age, it only seemed appropriate that in the month Eddie Murphy turned 65, he would be honored with a life achievement award. At last night’s 51st Annual AFI Life Achievement Award Ceremony, the four-time grandfather made a point in his acceptance speech to tell the star-studded crowd that this was a very significant year featuring a significant birthday earlier in April. However, it’s almost impossible to believe that Murphy, the premiere comedy movie star of his generation, is any kind of retiring grandfather, so when this award was announced a few months ago I…
