Star Wars Visions Season 2

Star Wars Visions season two are some of the best Star Wars stories ever made. The ability to take such liberties with the properties and explore the uncharted galaxy has allowed these animation studios to create beautiful stories that trump most stories that came before it, creatively and emotionally. Each and every one of these stories have the potential to be adapted to a longer format series and I would happily watch.

Each episode is so incredibly unique in terms of storytelling and animation style. Between the nine stories, we get many different aspects of Star Wars that we know and love. Some are more contained stories about family and the love for racing, in the story titled I am Your Mother or much larger stories that tie into jedi vs sith wars, in the episode titled Journey to the Dark Head. All nine stories are so strong that I found it difficult to rank them in a particular order because each one offered something unique.

This volume focuses heavily on the political aspects of Star Wars, specifically genocide of worlds from the grasp of the empire. These stories are told in the stories, In The Stars and the very dark episode, The Pit. With both of these episodes, I was left speechless. Both were tragic and inspirational, a few minutes longer and I would have been left in tears.

For those Star Wars fans looking for action, look no further Episode 1, titled Sith and Journey to the Dark Head not only offer some of the craziest combat but two of the coolest looking sith lords.

If you are a fan of Lord of The Rings or high fantasy, the episode titled, Screecher's Reach is right up your alley. The animation for this episode perfectly complimented the story, and the concept of turning a sith entity into a fairy tale demon is absolutly genious.

This series displays the power of storytelling and the potential in the Star Wars Brand. I truly wish that other canon series took as many risks as Star Wars Visions does.

Star Wars Visions season two is now available on Disney +

Rating all V/H/S/Halloween Segments

Like sorting through your candy after a night of trick-or-treating, V/H/S/ Halloween is a mixed bag. The eighth instalment in this cult-favourite horror anthology series comes up short of previous entries, but there are still a couple of treats in here that should satisfy your twisted cravings. A chilling still from V/H/S/ Halloween . Diet Phantasma This wraparound segment follows an R&D team testing a new low-calorie soda made with “real ghosts.” It’s silly fun, but gets a bit repetitive with each new test subject. The commercial playing during the end credits was a nice touch. Rating: ★★½☆ Coochie Coochie Coo This short feels like walking through a haunted house — but not in a good way. The plot is like something torn from a creepypasta thread. Everything is constantly being spelled out in a painfully obvious way. The practical effects and makeup are decent, and this is probably the only segment that comes close to being scary...

The Mandalorian Season 3 Review

Listen, I love Star Wars. I will always love Star Wars. The original and prequel trilogies were a big part of my childhood, and helped shape my love of cinema. While The Mandalorian isn’t among my favourites in the franchise, I thought it had a promising first season and a significantly stronger season two. Season three had so much potential, but a frustrating lack of focus held it back from greatness. This show’s always had a bit of an identity crisis, but it’s never been as clear as it is here. Does it want to be a procedural-style adventure of the week, or tell an epic, multi-season spanning arc? Season one leaned toward the former, while Season two found a satisfying balance of both. Season three tries to find that balance, but the overarching story it wants to tell is bigger than the few episodes allotted to do so. There are only 8 chapters, some barely over 30 min. That’s a fair...

Boss Level Film Review

Boss Level is a new addition to the time loop genre, with a twist. Ex-special forces officer, Roy Pulver, played by Frank Grillo, relives the same day until he dies. Every day he is hunted by assassins and when killed, he wakes up back in his bed where he started, only to have to try and survive all over again. Roy has no idea why he is stuck in this infinite time loop but he must do what he can to survive, and the longer he survives, the more he uncovers about his particular situation. Unlike most action films that take time to build up, this film gets right into it and offers tons of non-stop combat sequences that would satisfy any lover of action films. Its erratic flow makes for some fun action scenes which come out of nowhere since Roy can expect the assassins to attack at any moment. If you play video games often and have ever been stuck on a level for hours or even days, you know the feeling of having to repeat the same thing over and over again u...
