    Review: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    by W. Andrew Powell December 19, 2019
    by W. Andrew Powell December 19, 2019

    Since George Lucas decided Star Wars needed to be updated for modern times, Lucasfilm has set a certain tone. That was never more evident than when Star Wars: A New Hope arrived on Disney+ with “maclunkey” plopped in for absolutely no apparent reason.

    Review: Overlord

    by Andrew Parker November 7, 2018
    by Andrew Parker November 7, 2018

    80% war movie, 20% horror flick, and 100% fun, director Julius Avery’s gory throwback adventure and exploitation picture Overlord is one of the best thrillers of the year.

    Review: ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega

    by W. Andrew Powell December 16, 2015
    by W. Andrew Powell December 16, 2015

    My childhood came back to me in a wave as I watched the opening crawl of Star Wars: The Force Awakens yesterday morning. It’s like I’m a kid again, and someone has planted me back in this universe a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

    DVD Tuesday: Top ten time travel movies

    by W. Andrew Powell July 19, 2011
    by W. Andrew Powell July 19, 2011

    In honour of next week’s release of Source Code on DVD and Blu-ray, and because it’s one of my favorite topics, this week for DVD Tuesday I’m counting down the ten best time travel movies. From science fiction, action, adventure, and horror, to comedy, and even a romantic comedy or two, these movies cover almost every genre, and I’m ranking them not just on how great the movie is, but also, how well they approach a time travel story.

    by W. Andrew Powell April 3, 2009

    “Best. Ever.” is a weekly conglomeration of things that made my week. And there was much rejoicing.

    The dark webslinger returns, Khaaaaaaan!, Jacob lives!, ER flatlines, Twouble with Twitters, Star Wars/Dallas intro, Red Dwarf rises again, Dallas Green, CuteOverload, and Terry Pratchett.

    DVD Tuesday: ‘Cloverfield’, ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’

    by W. Andrew Powell April 22, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell April 22, 2008

    Reality and fiction have a twisted sort of relationship that is often hard to untangle, especially in any movie that attempts to say it is “based on a true story.” Arriving this week on DVD are three films aspiring to reality, in one form or another, but with varied results. New arrivals include the monster movie Cloverfield, the political drama Charlie Wilson’s War, and the sports tale, Resurrecting the Champ.
