TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.7

February 20, 2022 Grant Watson

“In the Name of Honor” At the end of its seven-episode run it is now possible to take one step back and consider The Book of Boba Fett as a whole. I do not think it is controversial to note … Continue reading TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.7

TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.6

February 13, 2022February 13, 2022 Grant Watson

“From the Desert Comes a Stranger” So whatever is the point of The Book of Boba Fett? Purported to be a spin-off of The Mandalorian, it has effectively transformed itself over two episodes into simply being more of it. This … Continue reading TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.6

TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.5

February 3, 2022 Grant Watson

Well here is the weirdest episode of The Book of Boba Fett thus far. It sees the Mandalorian Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) collect on a bounty before reuniting with his clan members, and travelling to Tatooine to collect a new … Continue reading TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.5

TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.4

January 27, 2022 Grant Watson

Boba Fett’s journey from bounty hunter to crime lord largely takes a breather in this fourth episode; the midpoint of the series as a whole. It is an odd episode this time around, one which probably works an awful lot … Continue reading TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.4

TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.2

January 13, 2022January 20, 2022 Grant Watson

What an astonishing difference a week makes. The first episode of The Book of Boba Fett felt dull, narratively redundant, and visually underwhelming. The second, written by Jon Favreau and directed by Steph Green, not only picks up the pace … Continue reading TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.2

TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.1

January 6, 2022 Grant Watson

“Stranger in a Strange Land” 29 December 2021, Disney+. Written by Jon Favreau. Directed by Robert Rodriguez. Walt Disney’s second live-action Star Wars series feels, for its first episode at least, to be a rather redundant experience. It is spun … Continue reading TV REVIEW: The Book of Boba Fett 1.1

REVIEW: Street Fighter (1994)

March 1, 2018March 10, 2022 Grant Watson

‘You come here prepared to fight a madman,’ says the evil General M. Bison, ‘and instead you found a god!’ Well, not a god exactly. What Colonel Guile (Jean-Claude Van Damme) does find is one of the most blindingly and … Continue reading REVIEW: Street Fighter (1994)
