Star Wars Rebels: Rebel Resolve Review

As always, the story flows from one episode to the next very well. The anonymous, androgynous Fulcrum tells Hera not to prioritize rescuing Kanan, but Ezra hatches a plan anyway. It must have been a challenge for her, her loyalty to her team warring with her natural secrecy. Fulcrum thinks that maintaining hope for the Rebellion as a whole is more important than rescuing a single person. Maybe Bail would think like that, but his characterization is more uncertain....

The 2015 Oscars: predictions and thoughts

Take them as an arbiter of whats actually the best of anything, and youre on far shakier ground. But I think most people have long accepted that. Ask 5-10,000 people to choose the best thing, and many times, theyre not going to choose yours. But lets just say that would be an unwise choice. Neither strikes us as best film of the year material. That said, we suspectBoyhoodmay still sneak this, and we cant grumble with that....

Did the 2005 Oscars get it right?

About ten years, he said. I get his point. Each awards season, its about, at best, what feels like the best film right then. But the one that you watched once, and affected you once. Its the only way, anyway, I can think of whyA Beautiful Mindwon a Best Picture Oscar. This weekend, then, is the Academy Awards once more.

Hot Tub Time Machine 2 review

Is the Hot Tub Time Machine sequel a wash? Jacob has no particular ambition of his own but enjoys the fortune that his daddy Lou has made. Ad content continues below From there the plot, such as it is, becomes more nonsensical. Same with Gillian Jacobs as his fiancee, who is largely wasted in a thankless, mostly insulting role. Fortunately the movies running time is relatively brief unlike, say, thoseHangoversequels that nearly hit the two-hour mark....

Which Season of 24 is the Best?

In all the even numbered days, Islamic terrorists have gotten hold of nuclear weapons. In other days, it turns out to be someone I pissed off years ago....
