Finally Good Episode

Star Wars: Ahsoka delivered an episode so fantastic, even my inner critic had to take a lightsaber break. The lightsaber action was on point, the story was as solid as a Death Star, and the character development was smoother than hyperspace travel. I'd give it an 8/10, but only because I'm saving the perfect score for the day they finally make a Wookiee stand-up special.

Star Wars: Ahsoka - Episode 6

Thrawn's return has been a topic of constant discussion, and at last, he makes his reappearance in 'Star Wars: Ahsoka.' In this episode, we are introduced to Admiral Thrawn, and my initial impression is that the actor did justice to the character. Additionally, Ezra Bridger makes a comeback, although it doesn't receive as much attention as expected. I continue to wonder why Ahsoka herself doesn't have a more prominent role in the TV show. Whenever I watch Ahsoka, it feels like I'm revisiting 'Star Wars: Rebels,' where Ahsoka was more of a secondary or tertiary character. It's almost like the galaxy is big enough for everyone, except Ahsoka!

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

If you're in the mood for a good laugh, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has you covered - unintentionally, that is. This movie is so bad it's almost funny, but not in a good way. Let's talk about the plot, or lack thereof. It's like they threw a bunch of random ideas into a hat and pulled them out one by one. The Dial of Destiny is supposed to be this super important thing, but honestly, I couldn't care less about it. It's like they forgot to give it any real meaning. Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones? More like Harrison Ford sleepwalking through his lines. He used to be this charming adventurer, but now he's just a tired old guy going through the motions. It's like he's thinking, "Just pay me and let's get this over with." The new characters are forgettable, and their jokes are so cheesy you'll cringe. The chemistry between the characters is about as natural as a cardboard cutout. And don't get me started on the dialogue - i

Apple's New iPhone 15: Where Style Meets Sustainability, But Green Energy? Nah, Not a Biggie!

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the grand unveiling of Apple's latest marvel, the iPhone 15! This time, Apple's mixing high-tech wizardry with a dash of eco-friendliness, though green energy might not be the star of the show. Stylish on the Outside The iPhone 15 sure knows how to dress for success. It's all about sleek recycled aluminum and a matte finish that laughs in the face of fingerprints. It's like the James Bond of smartphones, minus the tux. Green, But Not Too Green Apple's making a nod to sustainability. The iPhone 15's materials are recycled and recyclable, and the packaging is minimalistic. But let's be honest, green energy isn't exactly stealing the spotlight here. Solar-Powered...Kind of Here's the fun part: the iPhone 15 has a sneaky solar panel on its back. It sips sunlight during the day to keep your battery happy. It's not a solar farm, but hey, every little bit helps, right? Saving the World (Kinda) Apple's software is doing i

The Writer's Strike and the Long-Term Threat

Comedy-Drama Unfolding The entertainment industry is like a rollercoaster, complete with its ups and downs, plot twists, and occasional cliffhangers. In the latest episode of this never-ending saga, writers have gone on strike, inadvertently throwing the spotlight on a new, and potentially hilarious, threat to the acting business - artificial intelligence (AI). The Writer's Strike: Writer strikes in Hollywood are as common as movie sequels, but this time, it's a little different. Yes, they're still fighting for fair pay and creative control, but they've also decided to take a stand against the looming AI takeover, giving us a comedy-drama fit for the big screen. AI's Role in Content Creation: The Robots Are Taking Our Jobs! Enter the villains of this story - AI algorithms that can churn out scripts, music, and even digital art with a flair that would put Shakespeare to shame.

Star Wars: Ahsoka Episode 4

Once again great fights, but very slow progression in the story. Also, introduction of the scene from Star Wars: Rebels I think will confuse people that haven't seen it. I give it 6/10 just because of the fights.

Star Wars: Ahsoka

As is customary, I approach any Star Wars-related creation by Disney with a sense of skepticism. Since their acquisition of Lucasfilm, they have yet to produce anything that I would consider truly exceptional. In fact, they've chosen to discard the rich lore and well-established timeline that previously existed, which had a proven track record. However, being a devoted fan of the Star Wars universe, my curiosity and hope for better days persist. Upon viewing the Ahsoka trailer, I found myself puzzled about the show's true nature and direction. The trailer offered no specific details and only featured characters from the animated series Star Wars Rebels. This left me wondering about the show's overarching narrative. Now, having watched the first three episodes, I've gained a clearer understanding of the show's premise, but it still leaves much to be desired. Ahsoka is heavily reliant on the material from Star Wars Rebels, which could potentially alienate viewers who

Avatar: The Way of Water Review

After finally watching Avatar: The Way of Water, I must say it was truly amazing. Overall, my review of the film is extremely positive. Although I encountered a few minor issues, they were not significant enough to diminish my enjoyment. The movie excelled in exploring various themes such as the complex relationship between fathers and sons, the plight of outcasts, the desire for revenge, and the feelings of abandonment. Every theme in the movie felt purposeful, leaving no room for doubt or confusion.  While I accepted the open-ended conclusion, I hope that James Cameron will eventually complete the story. Considering the 13-year gap between this installment and the previous one, it's intriguing to contemplate how Jake Sullivan will confront new challenges. Having already traversed the realms of sky, earth, and water, will space become his next frontier? It's certainly a thought-provoking prospect.

Very Boring

Did anyone else share my lack of enthusiasm while watching the Virgin Galactic launch? It was about as exciting as watching paint dry in zero gravity. Unlike SpaceX launches, which make me bounce around like an overcaffeinated kangaroo, this one left me feeling as energized as a snail on a lazy Sunday. I mean, come on, even the aliens watching from space were yawning! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad everything went well and it's a step forward in innovation, but I was hoping for a little more "blast off" in my excitement meter. Maybe they should have sent a clown to entertain us during the countdown. At least then we'd have some laughter to go along with the lackluster launch.

Virgin Galactic Launch

Virgin Galactic is set to launch its first commercial rocket plane spaceflight on June 29th, 2023. Is anyone else really excited about it? On Thursday, a trio of Italian astronauts will embark on a passenger rocket plane owned by Virgin Galactic, the aerospace enterprise established by British tycoon Richard Branson in 2004. The significant event marks the company's inaugural commercial voyage to the outer limits of Earth's atmosphere. Even though company has done the flight in 2022, this flight will put them on the path to commercial voyages. According to the company, assuming everything goes as planned, Unity will take flight once more in early August, followed by monthly flights in the future.  Virgin Galactic had set a goal of securing bookings from its first 1000 paying passengers, each paying approximately $250K per seat, before the commencement of commercial operations. The company's corporate representatives have expressed their vision of expanding the fleet to a si
