The massive “Invasion!” crossover has come to an end, and what have we learned? On the positive side, the interactions among cast members of the four shows —Supergirl,The Flash,Arrow, andLegends of Tomorrow— were as delightful as ever. ThoughArrowis often the anchor,The Flashusually sets the tone for the crossovers, and so the other shows incorporate its light-hearted, witty banter and a fast-paced action and editing. (Sometimes the editing is a littletoofast-paced and I end up feeling as disoriented as Diggle when Barry has transported him somewhere)....

Last week, I bemoaned the feeling thatLegionhad lost grip on its narrative, leading to some turbulent pacing issues in the last two episodes. The visuals remain utterly spellbinding and consistently imaginative, but the story radiated the feeling of traipsing across the same material to push off a major revelation of plot. Well, my skepticism was largely assuaged by the action that occurs in “Chapter Five,” in which David seemed to shake much of his hesitation upon arriving back from the gloomy Astroplane....

WhenThe Irishmanarrives later this year, it will be the most expensive movieMartin Scorsesehas ever made. The reason for its high price tag is the digital de-aging. The movie follows the life of Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro), a teamster who claimed to be a mob hitman responsible for the mysterious disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino). Whether you believe Sheeran’s claims or not (based on the bookI Heard You Paint Houses, which recounts Sheeran’s “confessions” from near the end of his life), it’s an ambitious task to take the 76-year-old De Niro and age him down to his 20s....

We typically refer toStar Warseras in terms of the prequel era, the original trilogy era, and the sequel era, orienting the canon movies and series around the three major volumes. When Disney purchased LucasFilm, they declared the Legends material no longer canon. With those stories no longer needing to be adhered to, the new Disney LucasFilm was able to create new movies, novels, comics, and more to fill in the gaps between the major motion pictures....

Beware: Spoilers forStar Wars: The Force Awakensabound in this post. As development onStar Wars: The Force Awakenstook a few rather interesting turns over the course of the screenwriting and pre-production phases, many people (myself included) began anticipating something other than the release of the film—the release of the tell-all book that dives into the behind-the-scenes stories. We only know vaguely that producerKathleen Kennedy’s director search touched on a few names we’re familiar with afterJ....

WhenStar Wars: The Force Awakenswas released on home video, folks flocked to the Blu-ray to find a fair amount of bonus features, including a somewhat interesting (if limited) documentary on how the film was made. One major aspect missing was an audio commentary by co-writer/directorJ.J. Abrams. To watch one of the biggest films of the 21st century with filmmaker insight was something many fans were looking forward to, and unfortunately it was absent from that initial home video release....

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for the 2025 reboot ofI Know What You Did Last Summer.The legacy sequelI Know What You Did Last Summertakes an interesting approach to its source material, essentially remaking the original while keeping its events' canon. It plays as a repeat of the original’s events 30 years later, with a killer seeking revenge after the road death of a loved one, caused by our main group of characters....
