Sym-Bionic Titan (2010) (TV)

From IMDb: “Three young alien beings with the ability to form a giant robotic warrior attempt to blend into suburbia, all while battling the tyrannical forces that ravaged their home world.” What I liked: A forgotten gem from master animator Genndy Tartakovsky, who I’ve mentioned before when reviewing his latest show, Primal. Paul Rudish andContinue reading “Sym-Bionic Titan (2010) (TV)”

The Mandalorian (2019) – Season Finale

From IMDb: “The Mandalorian comes face-to-face with an unexpected enemy. ” What I liked: Gratuitous Gina Carano entry. I really wish she’d get her own spin-off show, because I think she is the character with the most depth. She’s my favorite character on the show, celebrity-crush aside. Ialsoloveher. The full Biker Scouts scene at theContinue reading “The Mandalorian (2019) – Season Finale”

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

From IMDB: “The surviving Resistance faces the First Order once more in the final chapter of the Skywalker saga.” What I liked: INCREDIBLE cinematography by Dan Mindel. I marveled at so many impressive compositions that I lost count. Some shots even looked like paintings because they were framed and colored so well. LANDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Brings newContinue reading “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)”

The Mandalorian (2019) – Episode 7

From IMDB: “An old rival extends an invitation for The Mandalorian to make peace.” What I liked: Hey it’s Gina Carano again! Can we just have a spin-off series based on her character? Call it “The Shock Trooper”. How does Mandy’s armor stay so shiny each episode? Does he spray it with a repellent orContinue reading “The Mandalorian (2019) – Episode 7”

The Mandalorian (2019) – Episode 6

From IMDB: “The travails of a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic. ” What I liked: Reservoir Dogs? Really? I think the show works best when we’re shown the “badass Mandalorian warrior” they keep telling us about. It’s essential to show some depth,Continue reading “The Mandalorian (2019) – Episode 6”

The Mandalorian (2019) – Episode 5

Editor’s note: HOLY MOLY I’m tired of writing about this show. From IMDB: “The Mandalorian helps a rookie bounty hunter who is in over his head” What I liked: Hey, speeder bikes.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Seasons 1-4)

From IMDb: “She-Ra, Princess of Power, leads a rebellion to free her land of Etheria from the monstrous invaders the Horde.” What I liked: Completely dissects the original She-Ra concept and revamps it to be a deeper, prolonged experience. Features a progressive set of multi-dimensional characters voiced by a progressive cast. The show never getsContinue reading “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Seasons 1-4)”

The Mandalorian (2019) – Episode 4

From IMDB: “The Mandalorian teams up with an ex-soldier to protect a village from raiders.” What I liked: Oh hey, it’s the Seven Samurai episode. For those who don’t know what Seven Samurai is, it’s an almost 4 hour Japanese action drama from the 50’s about a village hiring some Samurai to help them defeatContinue reading “The Mandalorian (2019) – Episode 4”
