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 +

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...

Godzilla vs. Kong Film Review

Godzilla versus Kong is the action movie we have been longing for since all major blockbuster films pushed back their release dates. After three solo films between Kong and Godzilla, we finally see the two titans clash on film for the first time in what is the culmination of the Universal Monsterverse. The story is split nicely in two as team Kong and team Godzilla each have their own mission. Team Kong is on a secret mission to the center of the earth to uncover the mystery of the titans. This team consists of Dr. Nathan, Dr. Ilene, Maia, and the Youngest character in the film, Jia. Team Godzilla consists of Madison, Josh, and Bernie who are also on a secret mission, to infiltrate Apex Cybernetics with the theory that they are up to no good and are the reason why Godzilla has been acting up recently. The dynamics of the teams are well balanced as the Kong story provides us with serious and more action-heavy bits in contrast to the Apex team story that ...

Better Man | Review by: Benjamin Garrett

What at first feels like a CGI gimmick allows Better Man to climb and swing it’s way beyond standard biopic conventions. This larger than life musical is worth a watch even if, like me, you needed to ask “Who the hell is Robbie Williams?”. A pop icon in the UK who didn’t quite make a household name for himself in North America, Robbie Williams bares his life (the good the bad and the drug fueled ugly) in this dazzling account of his rise to fame. Musician biopics often focus too heavily on the creation of the artist’s work, and not enough on the actual artist. Better Man gives audiences a sobering portrait of the man behind the monkey, with his songs placed in pivotal life and career moments to move the narrative forward. This works especially well if you aren’t entirely familiar with Williams’ work, because you won’t find yourself waiting to hear specific needle drops. Instead they flow organically into the story, with gorgeously choreographed musical numbers. And bo...
