I was never a fan of James Bond. As a kid, I grew up loving Star Wars and Indiana Jones and the long list of Disney classics, but I never had much exposure to James Bond. I was aware of the series, certainly, but had no familiarity with it. It wasn’t until 2006’s Casino Royale … Continue reading David Daut’s 100% Accurate Viewing Guide to the James Bond Series, As Confirmed by Science
Note: This review contains SPOILERS As I mentioned in my editorial on the series, part of the reason why I watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars – in spite of the fact that most of it was bad – is because I’d heard that there would be more connective tissue between that show, and Star Wars … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Path of the Jedi”
Over the past few months I’ve watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars in its entirety. I’m still not sure why I did this. It started as curiosity – I have been enjoying Lucasfilm Animation’s new series Star Wars Rebels, so I figured I might as well give their previous show a shot, but very quickly this proved … Continue reading I Watched STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS So You Don’t Have To
Despite being somewhat disappointed by The Boxtrolls, I very much admire the type of work LAIKA does. Coraline and ParaNorman are both beautiful, inventive films that are as heartfelt as they are ambitious, and it pleased me to no end when they signed on to release three more film with Focus Features. Today they’ve announced the first of … Continue reading LAIKA’s Next Film, KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS, Coming in 2016
Note: This review contains SPOILERS As we enter the holiday season, most shows are going on hiatus until January and leaving us with big mid-season finales in an attempt to sustain our interest through the holidays. Star Wars Rebels is no exception, wrapping up the first half of its first season with a two-part episode that … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Gathering Forces”
Note: This review contains SPOILERS One of the first things I did after being pleasantly surprised by just how good “Spark of Rebellion” was, was to go back and give Star Wars: The Clone Wars a shot. I had only ever seen the feature film that launched the series (which is godawful, for the record) … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Empire Day”
Note: This review contains SPOILERS This week Star Wars Rebels finally gave us the Hera/Sabine-centric episode I’ve been clamoring for and the end result is the feeling that I still don’t know as much as I’d like to about these characters. It’s a shame because this week’s gimmick is an episode focussed almost exclusively on … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Out of Darkness”
Recently Marvel Studios made a definitive statement declaring that none of their future films will be origin stories, even for characters who are being introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time. It’s an interesting decision and one that we still have to wait and see how it will play out, but it’s … Continue reading Movie Review – BIG HERO 6
NOTE: I do not feel that anything I discuss in this review constitutes as a spoiler – I took great pains to ensure this – however, I realize that people tend to be especially spoiler-phobic when it comes to Christopher Nolan movies, so in an attempt to avoid people shouting at me, please be aware … Continue reading Movie Review – INTERSTELLAR
Note: This review contains SPOILERS After last week’s episode was stuffed (perhaps even overstuffed) with big, plot focussed reveals, this week’s episode takes things a step back and returns to a more character centric story, this time focussing again on the series’ most well-developed character so far: Ezra. The episode begins with a group of young … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Breaking Ranks”
