This review contains spoilers. I have never been particularly fond of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This is something I’ve written about extensively in the past, but now that I’m writing here at Heroic Hollywood, I think it’s important to restate this bit of context. Because, you see, as much as I’m not fond of The Clone Wars, I … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Homecoming”
This review contains spoilers. Power. Just last week I was wondering whether Agent Carter had finally settled into a thematic angle for this season, and last night’s pair of episodes confirms it; this season is all about power – who has it, who doesn’t, and the lengths people will go to maintain it. Across these … Continue reading MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER Recap: “Life of the Party” and “Monsters”
NOTE: This review was written for Heroic Hollywood, but due to some unforeseen timing issues they were unable to run it today. Starting next week my Rebels reviews will be posted at Heroic Hollywood. This review contains spoilers Long seasons of TV are a drag. Everyone recognizes this on some level; it’s why premium cable shows are only ten … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Call”
Exciting news: I have a new home for my writing! Starting today I will be covering Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and (naturally) Star Wars Rebels for Heroic Hollywood. This is a big, exciting step for me, but for the four of you who follow this blog, don’t worry. I’m still planning on posting articles … Continue reading MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER Recap – “The Atomic Job”
This review contains spoilers One of my major beefs with Star Wars: The Clone Wars was the way in which that series espoused a bizarre pro-war sentiment. For any of their flaws, it’s clear that the Star Wars prequels are about the failures of politics and organized religion – the entire point of which being that by … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Legends of the Lasat”
I apologize for the delay in posting this review. It seems Disney has decided to split this season into two separate volumes on Amazon, iTunes, etc. and seeing as I’m not inclined to buy this season at full price twice in a row, I reached out to Disney. They have since reduced the price of both Vol. 2 and … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Protector of Concord Dawn”
This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens What is the Star Wars story about? That’s a simple question that lacks a simple answer. If you ask George Lucas – the creator of the series and the man who guided it over four decades, six films, and more than 100 episodes of television – he would … Continue reading Families, Generations, and the Shifting Narrative Focus of STAR WARS
This review contains spoilers. One of the most common complaints levied by fans against the first season of Star Wars Rebels was that it was too limited in scope, specifically in that it was set almost entirely on or around the planet of Lothal. This was never something that bothered me, and to be honest, I … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “A Princess on Lothal”
Looking back through my reviews for the first half of this season, I realize now how many of them began with remarkably similar paragraphs. This was by no means a conscious choice on my part (and if I had realized I was doing this, I would have at least attempted to be more clever about it), but seven … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Mid-Second Season Trailer
I must begin this best-of-the-year list with the biggest of all disclaimers: I did not see half the movies I wanted to this year, and a lot of the ones I missed were in the annual awards season flurry where seemingly every “must see” film of the year comes out in the span of three … Continue reading David’s Top Ten Movies of 2015
