‘Star Wars’ films to come yearly starting in 2015



Disney is turning “Star Wars” films into an annual summer ritual.

Walt Disney Co. chairman Alan Horn announced Wednesday that the studio would release films set in a galaxy far, far away every year starting in 2015.

The parade of films will start with “Star Wars: Episode VII,” directed by J.J. Abrams.

Horn said the studio will then alternate films in the new “Star Wars” trilogies with spin off films drawn from the same universe.

Anderson Silva: Like Water



Anderson Silva fans (and MMA fans in general) will probably want to check out this documentary.  It follows Anderson Silva from the time period when everyone hated him (after his fight with Damian Maia) through his first fight with Chael Sonnen.  It’s interesting seeing behind the scenes training footage, how he deals with the pressure coming at him from various sources and what his daily life is like.  We tend to think of these athletes as machines but they are human beings like everyone else.

This documentary doesn’t just show the good things in Anderson’s life.  It shows when his fans are upset with him.  When UFC boss Dana White is angry at him and even when his own manager is frustrated with him.  We follow Anderson around when he wants to skip out on autograph signings and him watching video of Chael Sonnen talking smack about him.  It’s definitely worth a watch if you are interested in the behind the scenes stuff.  Anderson does come across as kind of cocky and self-centered sometimes, but he also cares about his family and friends.  It’s a realistic look at who he is.  Nothing is sugarcoated.

Justice League: Doom Review



I haven’t really been a fan of too many of the animated movies from Marvel or DC.  Typically they seem rushed and don’t take as much time as needed to really flesh out the plots.  They do tend to be stand alone stories, which is good if you haven’t followed any of the cartoons that have come before hand.  Justice League: Doom is no different.  It jumps right into the action, involving a plot by Vandal Savage to destroy the Justice League.  I won’t give away any major spoilers but there is much more to the movie than what I described.

There is some pretty decent action in the movie.  The Justice League is pitted up against some of their common foes.  Fans of the old Superfriends cartoon will remember the Hall of Doom shown in the movie.  Due to the short running time (slightly over an hour) I wouldn’t recommend buying it, but if you have a chance to watch it on netflix or rent it, it’s worth a watch, especially if you are a fan of the animated movies or the Justice League in general. It does have a small amount of bad language in it and some dark themes, so I wouldn’t recommend it for kids

One thing I do really like about it is that it’s a Justice League movie not involving an alien invasion.  Seems like most of the plots involving the Justice League or the Avengers (even on the big screen) tend to revolve around aliens, so that plot gets a little tiring.  With talk of a big screen version of the Justice League, a plot like this one might be a better way to go, especially to distinguish it from the Avengers film.  So again, it’s nothing special but it isn’t bad.  I’d give it 2.5 out of 4 stars.

The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 10: Home (Part 2)




If you have not read the first part to this review, you may do so here: The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 10: Home (Part 1)

Carol and Axel seem to be hitting it off while they are fortifying the prison against the Governor.  They are flirting a bit and setting up barriers so they will be able to attack from the high ground when the Governor does arrive.  Merle and Daryl overhear some people being attacked.  They argue over what they are actually hearing but end up checking it out.  Daryl comes to the peoples rescue and kills most of the walkers by himself.

After saving the day, Merle wants to steal everything of value from those people as a reward but Daryl stops him, which starts a conflict.  It’s revealed that Merle and Daryl were going to rob the camp in the first season when they got the chance, but Merle losing his hand stopped that.  Daryl leaves Merle out in the woods by himself to head back to the prison.

Hershel talks to Glenn about his anger and how it’s going to get him killed.  Glenn doesn’t completely listen and decides to go out and look for where the walkers are getting in, by himself.  Not a wise decision.  Rick is still wandering outside the fence, in danger.  Hershel gets his attention and attempts to reason with him.  Hershel informs Rick that Glenn is being wreckless.  Rick tells Hershel that he saw Lori.  He knows she isn’t real but is still chasing her.

Axel and Carol are talking and hitting it off again, and out of no where he takes a bullet to the head!  Didn’t see that one coming!  The Governor has started his attack on the prison.  After a long shootout scene, the Governor’s men drive a truck through the main gate of the prison.  The back of the truck lowers and tons of walkers run out!  This guy is ruthless!  Rick gets surrounded by walkers and looks finished when Merle and Daryl show up and save him.  Glenn also comes back and saves everyone inside of the fence, taking them to safety inside the second fence.

Things are going really badly for our heroes.  Rick is insane, everyone is fighting with each other, the prison courtyard is now filled with walkers and the Governor easily defeated them.  Everyone better pull together soon before it’s too late!

The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 10: Home (Part 1)




If you have not read my last review, you may do so here:  The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 9: The Suicide King (Part 3)

Rick is on guard and surveys the outside of the prison when he sees a strange sight.  It’s the same “ghost” that he had seen in the last episode.  He goes to her but she is gone by the time he arrives at her location (in front of some graves).  Rick turns around and sees her again, this time outside of the fence.  Once again he moves to her location.  This time she doesn’t leave, it’s Lori.  Michonne is watching Rick run around like a madman and out into danger.

The Governor has a talk with Andrea.  He says he liked her speech and she is a good leader.  The Governor asks her to temporarily become the leader at Woodbury while he gets his head back on straight and recovers from the loss of his daughter.  Merle and Daryl are out in the woods searching for food.  Daryl wants to go back to the prison.  Merle says the Governor has probably already gotten a gang together to kill everyone at the prison.  Going there would be suicide.

Back at the prison, Glenn wants to create his own raid party and attack the Governor to take him by surprise.  He doesn’t want to just wait around to die.  Hershel says so many have died at the prison already, it hasn’t been worth it.  He wants to just leave and find another place to stay.  Glenn points out that that plan isn’t really possible anymore because Hershel only has one leg and they have a crying baby to take care of now.

The Governor talks to Milton and questions his loyalty.  He wants to know if Milton would die for him, to which Milton nervously says he would.  The Governor wants Milton to keep an eye on Andrea, he no longer trusts her.  Later, out in the street, Andrea runs into Milton and wants to know where the Governor is.  Milton simply says he is out on a run but won’t give any details about it.  Andrea seems to suspect something is wrong.

After being talked out of attacking the prison, Glenn decides to do the next best thing, check the fence and see how the walkers are getting in.  Maggie and Glenn talk about what happened to Maggie.  She tells Glenn that she wasn’t raped but is angry that Glenn is bringing the whole thing up and treating her like it’s her fault.  Needless to say, their relationship is on the rocks.

The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 9: The Suicide King (Part 3)




If you have not read my last review, you may do so here: The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 9: The Suicide King (Part 2)

Tyreese tells his group to have patience and to let him do the talking with Rick.  Rick holds his baby and starts freaking out.  He may be wondering if she is his or maybe she reminds him of Lori, it’s hard to say.  At Woodbury, the town’s people are about to revolt.  Since the Governor won’t deal with it, Andrea does.  She comforts the citizens and gives them hope.  She makes them believe they can rebuild and live a somewhat normal life.

Carol and Beth talk about when Sophia was a baby and about Daryl leaving.  They make a comparison between how Daryl is with Merle and how Carol was with her husband Ed.  Beth is mad at Daryl for leaving but Carol says she understands he has a code he lives by and the world needs more men like that.  Carol is obviously hurt Daryl left her, but she understands.

Hershel patches up Glenn and notices there seems to be trouble between him and Maggie.  Glenn won’t talk about what the issue is but Hershel still lets him know that he cares about him like a son.  Hershel then goes to check on Maggie and she asks him if Glenn is alright.  Hershel tells her to go see for herself.  Maggie also refuses to tell her Father what is going on.

Hershel checks on Michonne (this guy sure is busy!).  Hershel tells Rick that it will be at least a couple of days until she will be able to leave.  Axel talks about how Oscar used to protect him and stand up for him.  Everyone discusses the Governor’s attack that is most likely coming and how they could use some serious reinforcements.

Rick talks to Tyreese and his group.  Tyreese says they can help with their troubles and will stay out of the way.  Rick doesn’t want them to stay.  He doesn’t trust other people anymore and his decisions are no longer making any sense, especially with the Governor on his way.  Hershel confronts Rick and tells him that he is wrong.  Rick looks up and sees a ghost (possibly of Lori).  He starts going nuts and tells the ghost to go away, everyone thinks he is talking to Tyreese and his group.  Okay!  Rick has really gone insane!
