Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
left me saying What?
In some ways I loved the film. But in other ways it did not answer the questions. I was hoping to have answered for the Force awakens be answered. But the other thing is I was left saying is what? You can't go into this film thinking about the old school. The torch gets past. But not in the way I was expecting. It left me mixed for it was not using the info from what made Luke a powerful Jedi in the history we know. But it also did it in a rushed way. With a level I can see why some have the feeling it disrrespects that past. I think they could of done something else that Could have shown more respect for the old school. But it doesn't and in that way it failed. But it does provide some exciting action. Does have some good moments. But for those of us who loved the old. I think you will be disappointed for it like a total.departure from this and gives hints from some of the old but. It's a huge drop off and it will leave enough wondering where it goes from here?
Atomic Blonde (2017)
I liked it over all. Good soy film possible spoiler here.
Enjoyed the action sequences and the plot of the movie. Didn't care for the sex scenes but didn't make a major impact of the movie. Could of d9ne with out it and made it a much better film. The idea of being a spy playing sides to get the job done Was a nice touch. But if people van get past the.lesbian angle. It's a very good action flick. Not a James Bond style of film but in fighting and espionage. It gives spy films a run for its money. Well worth seeing in that sense. Over all the 80s theme was cool and the plot was fast moving. Not boring at all. The main character kicks back side and it is entertaining.
Beast of Whitehall (2016)
this is a good documentary
If you have seen the Monster of Minerva (Ohio). Then here is a similar story but its in NY State. I Enjoy these accounts for its done with good taste. No sensationalism or hype. It's as is accounts and done from people who have seen something and a little history on the area. The person who directs this and also did the other film mentioned does a very good job.
Minerva Monster (2015)
Enjoyed this documentary
I've been skeptical but as a child even a teen let my imagination soar with this legend. But there has been something that has kept my interest coming back. It's stories like this and the people who are certain of what they saw. From law enforcement to locals who are average people. But the sightings and the reports are the same. Where as the people who are more respectful of nature and there surroundings.
The difference between the stories where in other areas like California where its met in brutal violence and fear is in control of actions. The stories are scary and violent.
Bigfoot (2006)
It's a rainy day movie and if you appreciate low, low budget movies.
Not the best but not the worst. I've seen movies that are far worse than this and it's good in the beginning. However, the ending is lame. It loses all of its efforts at the very end. The special effects are not bad and there are some funny moments. But its not one where you can get into the characters or feel for them.
The bully in the.film reminds me of NJ governor Chris Christie and they could of done more to show how a small town and limited law enforcement can run into problems with something beyond the normal. That something dangerous and fast besides deadly. You don't fight on your own.
Besides getting knocked around you should dead by this beast! Even your neck snapped. So don't expect anything but a far fetch attempt. But of you're board and have nothing better to do. It has a entertainment value.
Also, a 101 on how not to blow an ending and how to depict towns folk who hunt as morons. If anything the way this was done. They should of killed themselves before they got this far in life.
Last thing, this also shows the ignorance of how a military vet is depicted. No research and thought put into the character or the folks. enough. Just kept it simple and in that way it was a fast pace film.
But if you want something better see the prophecy where mercury is in the water and mutates a bear. That was better than this. Also, gives it a scary and more eerie take on how this could of gone, if followed In that kind of format.
Just saying, just my 2 cents worth that's all & I wish you all the best.
