The Acolyte [Review]: A Misstep in the Force in the Pursuit of Wokeness

Disney's latest foray into the "Star Wars" universe, "The Acolyte," lands on Disney+ with more of a whimper than a bang. Touted as a fresh perspective on the galaxy far, far away, approximately 100 years before "The Phantom Menace," the series instead trudges through a quagmire of pedestrian storytelling, underwhelming twists, and an overemphasis on modern cultural themes that feel misplaced in the Star Wars lore. Wobbly Storytelling and Woke Overtones "The Acolyte" quickly establishes itself as a series steeped more in woke culture than in the rich history and excitement of "Star Wars." The show seems to prioritize modern political correctness over narrative depth, evident from its overtly feminist themes and diversity casting that feels forced rather than organic. While diversity in casting is generally welcome, its execution here is jarringly conspicuous, undermining the timeless appeal of the Star Wars saga. The series introduce...

Prince of Persia

“ Releasing the Sand turns back time. Only the holder of the Dagger is aware of what’s happened ,” Prince Dastan says in “ Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time .” A collaboration between Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Productions, the film comes across as a “Pirates of the Caribbean” where all the water has been replaced by sand. Jake Gyllenhaal, known before this film more for his puppy eyes and his swoon-worthy quality, is Dastan, an orphan and honest boy. The setting is ancient Persia, an almost magical place constantly basked in the most wonderful golden light that gives things a near-precious feel. One day, Dastan comes to the rescue of another boy who was being unjustly punished, and thus gets the chance (unawares) to display his Parkour skills for the king kindly ruling over the land, King Sharaman (Ronald Pickup). The King already has two boys, Garsiv (Toby Kebbell) and Tus (Richard Coyle), but he decides to adopt Dastan nonetheless, and thus make of him a prince. Th...

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3

Troy (Zac Efron) leads East High School's basketball team to a championship victory, as he and his teammates sing, dance and shoot hoops. But it's a bittersweet time. High school days are coming to a close and college is looming. But first, of course, the kids have to put on a show! The drama teacher (Alyson Reed) has invited recruiters from Juilliard , who will attend the senior musical and award one scholarship. The ever-scheming Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) is hoping for the starring role, as well as a place at Juilliard. Also vying for the single spot is her more talented and likable twin brother, Ryan (Lucas Grabeel) . A forced conflict is cooked up involving Troy and his brainy beloved, Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) . Lest it seem the franchise might come to an end, rest assured that younger students are being groomed to take over for their senior counterparts. English transfer student Tiara (Jemma McKenzie-Brown) will probably assume the attention-seeking Sharpay man...
