Star Wars Rebels - Season 1 Episode 1 | TV Review

Star Wars Rebels is the first movie or show that is now officially canon that has come out since Disney bought, among many things, Star Wars. This show takes place between the events of Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars. This show follows a young boy names Ezra, who ends up working with a group of the rebels, which I assume will later build to be the rebellion we see in the original trilogy. The members of the rebellion apart from Ezra are Kanan, Sabine, Hera, Zeb and their droid, Chopper.

So the episode starts of with Aladdin-- I mean Ezra, living how he lives. Street rat, riff raff, I don't buuuyyyyy that! Okay fine that is from Aladdin but they do call him a street rat in this show. In ways that I won't spoil, he is eventually picked up by the group of rebels and they attempt to rescue a group of wookies from the empire.

Now lets not kid ourselves here, this is a kids animated series. It is not as dark as The Clone Wars (although that had some childish stuff) or the movies, but you definitely get the feel of Star Wars. Now the trailer ruins everything in this episode so some of the Star Wars, epic moments are ruined if you have seen the trailer. The characters in the show are a mixed bag. Ezra is a really annoying and unrelatable character who I am sure will grow over time. Kanan totally reminds me of Qui Gon but a little more badass. Sabine and Hera haven't really been fleshed out yet so I can't say much there. Zeb annoys me, because his character is constantly changing.

The animation, I thought, looked really good... and then we saw the wookies. HOLY CRAP! They looked absolutely awful. They took me out of the episode when they were in it. Other than that, it was really cool seeing the other species in the show.

From now on each episode review will be probably not be as long, full of spoilers and in depth.

Gone Girl | Movie Review

Gone Girl is directed by David Fincher and stars Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Carrie Coon, Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry. It is based on the novel by Gillian Flynn and is about Ben Affleck, who comes home one day and his wife Rosamund Pike is missing. Through flashbacks and different perspectives the story unfolds and not is all as it seems.

Ben Affleck is great in the film, I never had too many problems with him playing Batman and I was always certain he would be the best Bruce Wayne yet, however I also think that he will be a pretty good Batman. But, he does not steal the show. Rosamund Pike, pulls off one of the greatest performances I personally, have ever seen. David Fincher knew exactly which order to show the events that happen in this movie. I haven't read the book, but the book will have to be really good to be on the same level of David Fincher, obviously most of the story telling came from author, Gillian Flynn, but the way Fincher executed everything was near perfect.


The film also adds a little bit of subtle comedy. It plays on the fact of how we, as a society, percieve the media and judge people, despite not knowing all the facts, most of the time knowing very little of the facts. I think it blends well due to it being subtle and very brief. It is one of the few times I have seen this aspect been pulled off in a film.

Yeah so overall I loved Gone Girl

I'm going to give Gone Girl

A+
