More so than anything else, Season One of Star Wars Rebels has gotten me excited about the future of the larger Star Wars series, so I knew that even if I couldn’t attend any other days, I had to make it to day three of Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. After waiting in two different … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Season Two Panel and First Look
As humans, we can’t help but approach new things with a certain degree of prejudice. It’s an immediate, unconscious reflex – when we see something new, our brains immediately evaluate it so that we have some way of understanding it, even if that understanding is flawed. This phenomenon is as true of our approach to … Continue reading How the FAST & FURIOUS Series Made Me a Better Movie Fan
When it comes to the Fast & Furious movies, responses tend to fall into one of two categories. There are the people who love this silly, sweet, lunkheaded series and embrace it with all their hearts, and then there are the joyless assholes who turn up their noses, satisfied in their smug belief that they’re … Continue reading Movie Review – FURIOUS SEVEN
Well, the third time’s the charm, I suppose. I’ve been very vocal in my disdain for Disney’s latest scheme to mine recognizable brands for new products by taking some of their most beloved animated classics and giving them live action remakes. It plays into the larger, ugly Hollywood trend of remaking old movies not because … Continue reading Movie Review – CINDERELLA
Season One of Star Wars Rebels has come to an end, and all things considered, they had a pretty great first season. I certainly wasn’t expecting to completely fall in love with a new Star Wars cartoon, especially not to the point that it would actually compel me to go back and sit through the mostly … Continue reading Wild Speculation for STAR WARS REBELS Season Two
Note: This review contains SPOILERS So that’s it, Season One of Star Wars Rebels has come to a close, and all things considered they had a pretty spectacular first season. Sure, there were some growing pains, and one legitimately bad episode, but all shows go through that; what’s impressive, though, is how well Rebels sailed … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Fire Across the Galaxy”
Hey, remember that time when Will Smith wasn’t completely insufferable? Look, I don’t much care about how celebrities behave (or misbehave) in their real lives. If I took it personally every time I found out someone in Hollywood is a pompous, arrogant jerk I’d have a really hard time being a movie fan. Normally I’m … Continue reading Movie Review – FOCUS
Note: This review contains SPOILERS We’re one episode away from the Star Wars Rebels first season finale, and before we (presumably) send the season out with a bang we have to take care of a little bit of house keeping. In terms of its core story, this week’s episode is a little bit weak, but … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Rebel Resolve”
As a movie fan, the one question you are asked more than anything else is, “what is your favorite movie?” For myself, as well as many other people I know, it’s a simple question lacking a simple answer. How do you sift through the hundreds upon hundreds of films you’ve seen to pick out just one … Continue reading David’s Favorite Movies – THE IRON GIANT
Note: This review contains SPOILERS Last week I talked about how Star Wars Rebels finally felt as if it found itself – settling into a groove without big, attention grabbing gimmicks and just telling a story based on the world and characters already established. This week, though, they’ve taken that status quo and blown it … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Call to Action”
