    I recently got around to watching the fourth and final season of Star Wars Rebels. I can’t say I was super crazy about the series in general, but enjoyed certain sections of it — basically, anything that involved the return of Ahsoka Tano, my favorite Star Wars character. Since finishing it, I went back to…

    After re-watching the entire Mission: Impossible series last week, I was primed to watch Fallout, especially because of the incredible critical acclaim it was getting. I was not disappointed, and I’m so glad I went to see it in IMAX, because the jaw-dropping stunts and action sequences were an absolute joy to see on a…

    Just ahead of seeing the new Mission: Impossible film at the theater, the week prior I decided to re-watch the entire series, and had a damn good time doing so. If I were to put them in order of preference, starting from my favorite, it would be: Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible III, Mission: Impossible –…

    Last night’s entry in my Sunday night Hitchcock marathon was this one, which I had absolutely no memory of, in terms of the story (even though I know I watched it at some point in my life). It could have been an OK spy thriller, but uncharacteristically, it doesn’t feel well put together, and there…

    After putting aside my 1968 movie marathon for what feels like months (because I had a hard time getting through Wonderwall), I immediately followed it by this film, which is still so incredibly good. I had even watched it a few years ago, but was again engaged fully. It has such incredible mood and progression…

    I was a bit stuck on my 1968 movie marathon because of this film. In a way, I’m glad I watched it, as some of the psychedelic visuals are pretty fun, along with the trippy soundtrack by George Harrison, but man, it was also a chore to watch, and took me a few viewing sessions…

  • Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Season 4)

    I thought I was pretty much done watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. After absolutely loving the first season, and then finding the second season to be OK, I barely watched more than 2-3 episodes of the 3rd season — I suddenly wasn’t into it at all. With the release of the 4th, I didn’t think I’d…

    When this second season started, I wasn’t really enjoying the show like I did during the first season. It was fine, but I wasn’t really excited to watch a new episode, it felt like things were just taking a bit too much time to happen — although the episode where we started seeing the truth…

  • The Strangers: Prey at Night

    This was a completely serviceable sequel. I liked it fine, and it was creepy in all the right places. They found an interesting way to do the “home invasion” thing again, without just repeating what was done in the first one. Nothing terribly special, but enjoyable to watch if you’re in the mood for a…

    I can’t say I really liked this. I liked the first one a lot, and the idea of giant mechs fighting monsters is one I quite like, but this sequel just fell flat for me. Sure, the big action set piece in Tokyo at the end was pretty fun, but getting there felt like a…
