Here’s what we thought of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, spoiler-free! We’ve been waiting a long time to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The final shot of The Force Awakens left us with so many questions, and this film answers most of them. This is a hard review to write, because, much like Blade Runner 2049, I don’t want to spoil...
RWBY V5C7: ‘Rest and Resolutions’ Trolling Nora In this episode of RWBY, 3/4 of team RWBY and 3/4 of team JNPR have fun around the dinner table. And then they discuss some of Ozpin’s secrets and lies which he’s let everyone believe. Weiss regales team RNJR of that time she almost manslaughtered a guest at her...
Qrow Branwen’s Sad Day This episode starts out with Qrow Branwen (voiced by Vic Mignogna) searching for Huntresses/Huntsmen to aid in the fight against Salem. In the first episode of this volume we were told by Qrow, and shown by the creative team that Mistral was a place of acceptance where people of all walks were welcome. The dour first...
RWBY Volume 5 Chapter 5: ‘Necessary Sacrifice’ This episode starts with Blake Belladonna (voiced by Arryn Zech) and Sun (voiced by Michael Jones) walking around asking Faunus to sacrifice their lives for the humans that think of them as a sub-species. Okay, well that’s a little harsh. I’ll try again. Blake and Sun are walking around trying...
It has been awhile since Pixar has explored beyond their own universes (Cars, Monsters Inc.), which has caused a bit of sequel fatigue. However, with the release of what I view as their animated lovenote to Mexican culture, I think it is safe to say that Pixar still has the originality that we’ve all missed. COCO is arguably in my top 3...
Justice is Finally Served in the DCEU Holy schnikes, Batman! I just saw Justice League and I had a blast. It gives me hope for the future of the DC Extended Universe. Funny, action packed and yes, flawed, Justice League is a thrill ride I’m ready to take again. Here is my (mostly) spoiler free review. Coming to this, I still had a bad taste...
This episode had a double reunion and a lot of emotions. RWBY V5E4: ‘Lighting the Fire’ Yang vs Bandits So Yang (voiced by Barbara Dunkleman) is riding along on her bike with that bandit asshole from the volume opener (voiced by Clifford Chapin) . Remember the shady man she smashed across the room like a Serena Williams serve? We...
This episode of RWBY clarified a few questions that had been simmering for a while. The Speech We open the episode with Ghira Belladonna (voiced by Kent Williams) pacing the main room of the Belladonna manor with his speech script in hand. The passage of time has been one of those things argued about when it comes to different character POVs. For...
Star Wars Rebels: “In the Name of the Rebellion Part I” Since Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, we have all had to reconcile the new and unsettling information we were given about the “Rebel Alliance to Restore the Republic”. It was a starkly different picture of the lovable group of rogues we remember from A New...
RWBY Volume 5 Episode 2: ‘Dread in the Air’ Sienna Khan It’s rare that RWBY disappoints me. Today, I found myself let down by the way the creative team of this episode chose to kill off Sienna Khan (all too briefly voiced by Monica Rial). Which is a shame, because despite not featuring 3 of the 4 ‘main’...
