Well, for my money, those were the finest three hours of Star Wars in the history of the series. From watching the destruction of Ghorman to the rise of Mon Mothma as the leader of the Rebellion to the collapse of two central relationships within the series, so much of what occurred in this three-episode […]
A bit of housecleaning before we get into the review of the first three episodes of Andor’s second, and final, season. When it was first announced that these twelve episodes would be released in a set of four triptychs, I wasn’t sure just how I would cover them. And while I will decide with each […]
Of course Cassian and the inmates on Narkina 5 were helping to build the Death Star. Of course they were.

In the interest of honest reviewing, I feel that I should start this review of Andor off with the statement that I wasn’t a fan of Rogue One. I certainly didn’t hate it – I appreciated that the story was allowed to go to darker places than most Star Wars properties and I really liked […]
The works of DC Comics have been eclectic. There have been light-hearted Silver Age stories to much darker tales. One of their lighter properties, The Legion of Super-Pets has now been adapted into an animated film. Krypto (Dwayne Johnson) is the loyal companion to Superman (John Krasinski). They are best friends and partners in superheroics. However, […]
Wander Darkly is a conundrum of a film. A deep dive into the fracturing of a relationship, there’s a lot to like about it: strong leading performances from Sienna Miller and Diego Luna as the central couple along with interesting directorial choices from writer-director Tara Miele that lend the film a surrealist tinge that keeps […]
