Rebel Moon Review: More Like Dune (Than Star Wars)
The Star Wars connection hyped everybody. But Rebel Moon is not the next Star Wars. And it was never supposed to be. It’s rough, not dreamy. Bloody and brutal instead of otherworldly and spiritual. More similar to the weird and solemn Dune.
Why Planet of the Apes (1968) Is More Than a Movie About Talking Monkeys

It’s an ancient tale retold, from when we were living in caves – the fear of apes taking over. Planet of the Apes challenges our familiarity to what we know as true, as all great movies do.
Breaking in M. Night Shyamalan | A cultural phenomenon
The highly successful director, writer and producer first entered the cultural zeitgeist in 1999 with the Oscar-nominated `The Sixth Sense` starring Bruce Willis.

Blue Beetle: A Great Origin Story
Blue Beetle is a fun and action packed movie with a similar tone to the new DC live-action projects like Peacemaker and The Flash. It embraces humor and gritty action.
It’s a straight forward adventure that frees the audience from the challenge of answering: “Where does this fit in the multiverse?”. Besides a few mentions of Batman, it’s not directly connected to any other DC movies.
And the only Justice League you will see is Blue Beetle’s family.

Episode 5 Review 14/09/2023 Hayden Christensen is back with a pitch-perfect performance as Anakin Skywalker, showing full control of both sides of the force. He teaches Ahshoka one final lesson: survival. A lesson that contradicts the Jedi who embrace death and detachment. The episode is a fitting conclusion to George Lucas’ Star Wars, before Dave Filoni fully takes over with his original ideas. In the fifth episode Anakin teaches Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) a valuable lesson called: Live or die Anakin tries to kill her and she must not die. It sounds like a crude lesson, and it is. The Jedi Code teaches detachment and acceptance of death, as practiced by Luke, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon. But Anakin, who defies the Code, teaches Ahsoka a dark side skill. Palpatine was on a quest for immortality. Darth Maul and even Vader himself are examples of Sith who held on to life by any means. It’s not a lesson with the philosophical depth that Yoda would teach. “How can you joke at a time like this?” Ahsoka asks Anakin. “What would you prefer? Tell me, what do you want?” Anakin replies. This short dialogue between Ahsoka and Anakin may be the key to the episode, suggesting that the means don’t really matter. They are just a way to achieve a goal. It does not matter if Anakin is more serious or more happy. More light or more dark. He can be anything as long as that serves the final goal. Anakin tells Ahsoka: “I’m teaching you how to lead, how to survive.” Anakin teaches Ahsoka a lesson for Grey and Dark Jedis. Force users that don’t follow the Jedi Code and use both sides of the force when needed. A perfectly unbalanced Anakin Skywalker: With a deeper voice and a bigger body, the chosen one’s back. Hayden Christensen seamlessly slipped back into the role of Anakin Skywalker. It’s Hayden’s big comeback that fans were hoping for in the Obi-Wan show. The de-aging special effects were less obvious compared to his reveal from the past episode. “If we see Anakin, because he does flow back and forth between Darth Vader and Anakin, let’s see him as a character with a dark and light side.” – Ian McCraig, Artist Anakin is in full control of both the light side and the dark side, so maybe this is what the balance he was supposed to bring means: using the dark side as a tool. It was originally intended for Anakin, in The Force Awakens, to come back as a force ghost that shifts between the light and the dark. And this is sort of what we got in Ahsoka episode 5. Concept art by Ian McCaig shows the Force ghost of Anakin Skywalker, who could flow back and forth between his light and dark sides Anakin was shifting between being a heavy hitting Sith and a tactical Jedi. And it was really cool to see him command the dark side to his will, to be able to calm down. Still, after the joy and nostalgia fade and rationality kicks back in, one question remains: Was he a force-ghost or a drowning-Ahsoka-dream? The vibe and look of the show: Dave Filoni treats Star Wars with a lot of respect. The show looks really good. Sometimes it’s more similar to illustration than to movies in the classical sense of the word. Movies and TV Shows embrace a rough and seasoned look. But Ahsoka doesn’t aim to look like a movie or TV show. It wants to look like art. Hair, make-up, costumes, always perfect. Even the choreography and positioning of actors and objects within a scene always look perfectly polished. Final thoughts As an original trilogy and prequel trilogy fan, it’s great to see Anakin Skywalker again and I really-really hope to see him again in the future. Anakin has gained a balance between the light side and the dark side. But not in the cliché way of becoming wise and balanced, but from him willingly controlling both the light and the dark. And if we won’t ever see Anakin again, Ahsoka episode 5 is a respectful ending to George Lucas’ Star Wars, as Disney focuses on the next Rey-centered trilogy. George Autor Thank you for reading!

Thoughs on: Wolf (1994) with Jack Nicholson
Ever wanted to see Jack Nicholson turn into a werewolf? Then “Wolf” is worth a watch. It combines romance, horror, and a furry Jack Nicholson. But despite the promising premise, it’s a mellow and constrained movie. The selling point (the werewolf aspect) comes across more as a leitmotif than a feature, but the movie had a decent level of nose curling and teeth showing.
