Cleopatra in Space - Do-Over

Cleopatra (Lilimar) gets stuck in a shortening time loop in “Do-Over” as she attempts to get events of a stressful day right (and fail miserably each time). There are episodes of the series where Cleopatra embraces her new future home and those where the homesick girl attempts to run from it, “Do-Over” is the latter as her attempts to return home using a time machine still being built lead her to reliving the same day over and over (and struggling to make any meaningful changes). The final time through, Cleo does break the loop and seems to learn some lessons about the trouble she causes her friends (although we’ll see if those stick around longer than a single episode).

Green Lantern #5

/ / Comics

Green Lantern #5 comic reviewTeased in the last issue, we get Teen Lantern heading off halfcocked to New Korugar to take on Sinestro and all of the Sinestro Corps. She does pretty well for herself, at least initially. The young Lantern is stopped and saved by a Yellow Lantern who allows Simon Baz to return with her to Oa. Is this what has become of Jessica Cruz?

Despite her appearance on both the cover and variant cover, Sojourner Mullein does not appear in the issue. And, despite being teased months ago, we still have yet to get an appearance from Hal Jordan. Instead half of the comic’s pages are focused on getting John Stewart and the locals he met in dark space off the planet he’s been trapped on (for a year?!) and back to the Green Lantern Corps.

Star Wars Adventures #7

/ / Comics

Star Wars Adventures #7 comic reviewPart One of “The Princess and the Bog, A Twin Tale” kicks off a new story in Star Wars Adventures #7 featuring Luke and Leia and set between the events of the original Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. While scouting the Outer Rim world of Bogano, Leia is a bit miffed to discover Luke there as well (who has felt drawn to the planet by the Force) rather than following the orders she gave him.

There isn’t much in the way of conflict between Luke and Leia in the original trilogy, but the story offers a glimpse of how Luke’s attempts to follow the Force could lead to conflict within the rigid structure of the Rebellion. Luke helps discover an impressive structure, although he’s less sure than Leia it might make a base for the Rebellion. Turns out it’s a good thing Luke showed up, as the pair encounter some unsavory characters.

Jungle Cruise movie reviewGiven Disney’s adaptation of Pirates of the Caribbean it’s hard not to see similarities with Jungle Cruise as the studio attempts to turn another theme park ride into a motion picture. Jungle Cruise feels like a mix of Pirates with a bit of The Mummy (and several other films) thrown in for a wacky adventure in the Amazon.

We’re first introduced to Dr. Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) and her brother McGregor (Jack Whitehall) who steal an artifact from the London Historical Society to search for a legend deep in the Amazon. Lily hopes to find the Tree of Life whose blossoms are rumored to be capable of curing any disease. Enlisting the help of an untrustworthy steamboat captain (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) the trio race to find the tree before a German aristocrat (Jesse Plemons) or centuries-old cursed jungle explorers (led by Édgar Ramírez).
