Classic Movie Review – The Empire Strikes Back

July 15, 2020

How do the movies in Star Wars stand up to the Bechdel test?

June 2, 2020

Video Essay – How to Film a Good Sword Fight

December 22, 2019

I half wish I hadn’t watched this video before seeing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It made me a little more critical of the lightsaber fight scenes than I otherwise would have been.

Movie Review – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

December 20, 2019

Cards on the table. I went into this film pretty sure I was going to enjoy it. I remember going to see “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” (or just “Star Wars” as it was back then!) as a student back in 1977. Here I am, retired, going to see the final episode […]
