The Spectacular Now, a coming-of-age romantic drama, marked the tenth anniversary of its theatrical release this past summer. “I don’t live in the past. I live in the now because that’s what it’s all about.” – Tommy Keely (Kyle Chandler) This is the sort of movie that just shows what it means to be a teenager in the moment. It feels very different from other films in the coming-of-age genre and 2013 had plenty to…
"The Spectacular Now Is Raw, Honest, and Authentic"Tag: Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Ahsoka answers some questions in the season finale but ends on a cliffhanger, which sets up another season or Dave Filoni’s movie. It more or less had to end this way. Obviously, there are questions that I get into below the photo. However, Dave Filoni left some room in there for some very happy surprises for Star Wars Rebels fans. Maybe, maybe not. I guess it depends on having a certain point of view as…
"Ahsoka: Part 8 – The Jedi, The Witch, and The Warlord"
Ahsoka treks closer towards the end of the season with its penultimate episode showing that Dave Filoni knows what he is doing. Last week saw Ezra Bridger’s (Eman Esfandi) long overdue reunion with Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo). This week more or less started where last week left off. But first, General Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) must answer on Coruscant for her use of New Republic resources. Hera and the Senate have not seen…
"Ahsoka: Part 7 – Dreams and Madness"
Leave it to Dave Filoni to deliver one of the best Ahsoka episodes of the season as Part 5 offers a blast from the past in many ways. The fifth episode answered a lot of burning questions. First and foremost, were we getting Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen). The answer to this question is something that I will get to in a moment. It’s going to be pretty spoilery below the photo so…
"Ahsoka: Part 5 – Shadow Warrior"
The fourth part of Star Wars: Ahsoka gets audiences closer to the back half of the season with a shocking cliffhanger that speaks for itself. Spoiler warning: Do not read without watching tonight’s episode. With the way that this episode ends, everyone is going to be tuning in next week. If you haven’t started on Ahsoka yet, now is the time to do so. And yes, you’re going to want to watch a certain episode…
"Ahsoka: Part 4 – Fallen Jedi"
The third episode of Ahsoka continues a trend that dates back to The Mandalorian with the series having inconsistent run times. Three episodes into the series and this episode doesn’t even reach 40 minutes in length. Factor in the recap, end titles and credits and the episode barely runs a half hour long, if at all. It’s an unfortunate trend in the franchise at the moment. While the episode features some good action sequences, I…
"Ahsoka: Part III – Time to Fly"
As Ahsoka launches on Disney+, Star Wars Rebels fans will finally have closure with the search to bring Ezra Bridger home. Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) continues the search that she started in Star Wars Rebels and continued in The Mandalorian. Where is Grand Admiral Thrawn? The moment that Ahsoka utters Thrawn’s name in season 2 of The Mandalorian was the moment that every Star Wars Rebels fans knew: Dave Filoni didn’t forget about us. Even…
"Ahsoka: Star Wars Rebels Fans Will Get Closure"
The trailer and key art for the upcoming Ahsoka, premiering this August, were unveiled during Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023. The unveiling for the teaser trailer took place on Friday, with more casting announcements coming on Saturday. One might as well refer to the series as Star Wars Rebels: Season 5. Many of the characters make their transition to live-action. It’s very possible that Zeb could make an appearance since his character is now a…
"Ahsoka Trailer, Key Art Unveiled During Star Wars Celebration"
Before Disney ever acquired Marvel, they released a superhero comedy of their own, Sky High, under the Walt Disney Pictures banner. Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano) is the son of two superheroes, The Commander (Kurt Russell) and Jetstream (Kelly Preston). This comes with high expectations as he attends Sky High for the first time. It’s an airbourne high school for teenage superheroes. While Will is third generation, he is also a late bloomer because he has…
"Sky High: A Superhero Family Comedy"
Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is now available for fans to buy or rent on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. Given that Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn was the best thing in DC’s Suicide Squad, it was only natural that the character would be given a spin-off. Jared Leto doesn’t come back to reprise his role from the film’s predecessor. In fact, there character is only alluded to…
