EB: Star Wars: The Force Awakens is finally here, and it is a masterpiece. There, I said it, right off the bat, but J.J.’s accomplishment deserves the praise, and I’m not just being an overly excited lifetime fanboy either. This film is easily one of 2015’s best, and quite possibly one of the Star Wars franchise’s top emotional thrill rides. It is the exact cure us jaded Star Wars fans needed after suffering through the epic failures of the prequel films, which served as playgrounds for Lucas to show off his new tech, rather than focusing on building a world and characters fans could care about. The bad taste those films left in my mouth nearly destroyed my lifelong love affair with Star Wars, but thanks to a $4 billion purchase by Disney, and the talents of one Mr. Abrams with help from Larry Kasdan, my passion for the franchise that made me who I am has been ratcheted up to astronomical heights. Star Wars is back, and quite frankly, it may be even better than ever before.
Supacell, the new Netflix UK six part series by Andrew Onwubolu aka Rapman, is about to redefine the superhero genre.

With an all-star cast featuring Tosin Cole from House Party 2023, Eric Kofi-Abrefa from BMF, and Adelayo Adedayo from “The Responder,” this show will be your radar this June 2024. Here’s everything you need to know about Supacell.
Possession films are a dime a dozen with tons of motion pictures about people spewing pea soup when those pesky demons occupy and live rent free in their bodies.
Inside Out 2 has got to be the animation movie of the year for me so far. It had everything I wanted from the original and so much more I never could have anticipated. From the very first opening scene with that nostalgic, wholesome piano keys of the theme sound from the first movie, it was like my soul was transported back into the feelings the first movie brought about while bringing me wholly into the world of the sequel.
Loved the film, glad its getting rave reviews.
