I’ve said time and again in my season finale reviews that a good finale doesn’t offer up a million twists and turns – it should take the story to the natural conclusion the preceding episodes have hinted at. And if that’s how one judges a finale, “In the Name of Honor” was a pretty solid […]

The Mandalorian – Chapter Nine: The Marshal Review
Well, that was quite the bait and switch with a classic Star Wars character – only to throw in a literal last second twist. But I’ll get to that later on in the review. Welcome back to our weekly reviews of The Mandalorian! While I didn’t love the first season, I have higher hopes for […]
The Marvel Cinematic Universe: Worst to Best
It is a hell of a time to be a Marvel fan. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been dominating the box-office with many being critical darlings and financial successes. Marvel Studios has been able to release 23 films over the course of 11 years; so averaging two films a year. Because Marvel has been able to produce […]
The Mandalorian – Chapter 8 Review

The Mandalorian – Chapter One and Chapter Two Review
After watching “Chapter One,” the series premiere of The Madalorian (aka the one thing on Disney+ that millions of people were waiting to watch), I decided I should wait until I’d watched at least the series’ second episode (which was officially titled “Chapter Two,” but also used the title “The Child” within the episode) before […]
The Lion King Review
Disney has continued the mining of their animated classics for box-office gold. 2019 sees the studio going for a triple whammy of cinematic remakes – concluding with a “live-action” remake of The Lion King. In the African Savannah a new crown prince is revealed to the animals. The birth of Simba (JD McCracy/Donald Glover) means the power-hungry Scar […]
Spider-man: Far From Home Review
Spider-man: Far From Home is the first MCU film to be released after Avengers: Endgame – and the implication those events have on the film franchise. Seeing that Endgame ended on such a high Spider-man: Far From Home had a lot to live up to. Spider-man: Far From Home picks up eight months after Avengers: Endgame where The Avengers successfully reverse ‘The Blip.’ Peter […]
