Ron Howard's original film Willow, which came from a story cooked up by George Lucas himself… is one of those eighties fantasy flicks that I have a soft spot in my heart for. Alongside Legend and The Neverending Story… Willow is the sort of cheesy, light-hearted genre fare that only that
Amphibia season 3 is the final season of this froggy adventure on Disney+, and boy, does it deliver. It's easily one of the best conclusions to any isekai stories in existence, with an ending that is a bit on the bittersweet side, but is ultimately very satisfying to watch. When worlds (and frogs)
Amphibia season 2 is when the story finally kicks into high gear, and I mean that both literally and figuratively. Literally because of the fun road trip Anne and the Plantars go on. Figuratively because this is when the story starts getting really good. Man, even the key art for this season looks
Zen - Grogu And Dust Bunnies is the first time Studio Ghibli has ever collaborated with Lucasfilm for any Star Wars media. The result is a very short, but adorably sweet Star Wars anime short. Hopefully, it will keep us entertained until they get around to making the next volume of Star Wars:
Amphibia season 1 is at its heart the start of an isekai story. All you have to do is look up the anime term to see that. And yet, despite the fact that it's not an anime, its slice of life fantasy premise already makes it better than 50% to 75% of all isekai anime. Mostly due to the lack of a
One of my favorite Disney Animation films is Zootopia (2016). The film's characters, the story, and a not-so-covert discussion of racism & bigotry find a way to tell an entertaining yet poignant story through Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and others. So when Disney announced they would be doing a
It's rather depressing that you can tell The Owl House season 2 is a rushed affair. It's no wonder since Disney axed the show during production of season 2. With multiple storylines often packed like sardines into individual episodes, the whole series feels hyper-compressed and overly accelerated
When it comes to Star Wars it seems we have a lot to choose from these days. From The Mandalorian to Andor there are enough stories out to satisfy any Star Wars fan. Well today Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi was added to that list and it might be one of the best storytelling series out there. Created
The Sheep Detectives is a towering testament of how powerful animated stories can be when done right. A genuine crowdpleaser, the film is sure to warm and break your heart, wrestling with richly textured explorations of death and grief, lost and found families, and the necessity of memory.
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
