But back to Rogue One, I did find myself attached to the main characters and their story. So much that I forgot the story of the original Star Wars and the ending was a surprise. |

Blair Witch
Recently saw the newest Blair Witch. Could help but think it was basically the story of what the producers of the original 1999 film would have done if they'd had a seven-figure budget.

I dug these coupla flixs I recently seen....
The Last Horror Movie (2003)..Psychopathic murderer, lotta dialogue, interesting plot and gratuitous violence. Afflicted (2013)...Vampire flick, good action and suffering. |
“Bright” 5/10
Cops, gangstaz, orcs, elves.. what a ridiculous concept. I might sound very, very old saying this, but the movie felt 3 hours long and I was quite bored right from the beginning despite all the action going on. The story was just so damn dumb. |

Anyway My buddy and I watched the first 15-20 mins, and it was mildly entertaining, but we were both like "when is the thick of the plot going to take shape?" They were just going into the rich-bitch Elf town, and the human cops were trying to get fellow department cop Will Smith to bad mouth his partner Orc so he'd get transferred out of the department... LOL it's just so, so, symbolic of racism and the class divide in America... well, anyway we had to get on to other things, and I doubt I'll be revisiting the film. |

The Last Jedi (2017) 8/10 Highly enjoyed it. Liked it much better than the previous "Force Awakens". This film felt more authentic, and characters seemed totally committed. And although there were scenes much too close to former Star Wars films, they still felt authentic and plausible rather than an homage, or the Force forbid, parody. Cube Zero (2004) 6/10 The third "Cube" film is a prequel to the first 1997 offering. Adds an effective new wrinkle to the story of the Cube, where we are introduced to two characters who help maintain and process the Cube and it's victims, in a Nineteen-Eighty-Four-esque setting. We learn more about who and why people are in the Cube. But although we know about the why of the Cube the film drops the ball on the immensely fun puzzles of the Cube, and we barely get to know anything meaningful about the characters in the Cube, which was the meat of the first film. |
The Last Jedi
10/10 - Absolutely loved it! Can't wait for the next one! |

No J/k, it didn’t suck. It just wasn’t as funny as I had expected. James Franco might have the accent right, but he was just way too good looking to be Wiseau, which was very distracting to me. Didn’t get a lot of insight to who this alien person really is, but all in all it was decent. 7/10 |
Murder on the Orient Express
Let's see: On the plus side - The story was well told. - I liked the way they caught the general atmosphere of the Christie universe, with a few modern tweeks. - The cast delivered, though Depp was perhaps a bit too much for the Christie universe. No shame he was bumped off quite quickly. I particularly liked Dafoe and Ridley. On the down side - The chase scene (with Tubby McGoo of all people) was not necessary. Poirot relies on his wits, as shown with the bit with the cane. It's a detective, not a cop show. - I personally did not think too much of the "emo Poirot". The strength of the character were the cool, the mistery and the inscrutable. Starting from there, the (former) girlfriend ex machina and what not felt a bit forced. - The ending felt a bit rushed/forced/stupid. Sequel bait? So all in all a good way to spend two hours, but I think there are better Poirot-films. Branagh did a good job, but David Suchet remains the Poirot par excellence. |
Really good movie...documentary style horror.

3000 MILES FROM GRACELAND (2000). Really like Kurt Russell, but he can't save this sprawling mess of a film. Pass on it. *

GIRL IN WOODS 2016
A young woman gets lost in the woods and struggles greatly with having no access to her medications for mental health. I thought it was dreadful and didn't understand a thing. |

Michael Clayton (2007) Netflix 9/10 George Cloney, a "fixer" with a lawfirm gets drawn into a harrowing situation while trying to help a lawyer friend who has gone off his meds while representing a giant corporation facing a classaction lawsuit. Well-made thriller. The Big Short (2015) Netflix 8/10 "Four denizens in the world of high-finance predict the credit and housing bubble collapse of the mid-2000s, and decide to take on the big banks for their greed and lack of foresight." Pretty entertaining for research-drama piece on the 2008 housing bubble collapse. Excellent performances, especially Christian Bale and Steve Corell. |

Pusher, 2012. 7/10
 I went into this film not thinking its a remake of the first film of one of the greatest trilogies ever made. And I liked this. I loved the thick English accent and the guy that played 'Frank' was great. The film was a bit polished, not as gritty as the original. |
MORTAL REMAINS 2012
Filmmakers loosely associated with the writer of the Blair Witch go on a search for Karl Atticus and his video nasty " Mortal Remains". It was okay, a little overacted. |

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
https://s26.postimg.org/wrisjw815/ki..._deer_ver2.jpg Yorgos Lanthimos' take on psychological horror with a weirdly twisted tale of revenge & sacrifice! The chilling background scores set the tone from the very beginning and take you into the little odd family of a surgeon who befriends a teenage boy that ends up placing a curse on his family with unnerving & harrowing consequences. >>: B+ Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) https://s26.postimg.org/inmxbyiyh/3_BB.jpg No parent in this world deserve to loss a child by an unspeakable tragedy or a brutal crime but when they does, not every tragedy teaches us tolerance and not everyone can get to channel their grief & anger through an unorthodox way like Frances McDormand's Mildred did in this emotionally moving dramedy. And as we know the world is far more complex & unpleasant place than most celluloid projections but it takes a remarkable storyteller & filmmaker to convey that in a convincing manner and Martin McDonagh did this wonder in his latest and this year's one of the best films here. When the little town almost starts to forget about the vicious rape & murder of her young daughter, the aggrieved mother Mildred Hayes rents the three abandoned billboards near her home to protest over the lack of progress in the investigation. This leads to pressure on the townsfolk's favorite chief (beautifully played by our favorite Woody Harrelson), resulting anger from his loyal officers, and so on down the line. This is a darkly funny, yet a very profound film where most of the major characters were flawed by their decisions or actions, torn apart inside by grief or frustrations and that made it so grounded & compelling. Almost every actor in their assigned role did justice to the solid & neatly written scripts where the character developments turned out one of the most strongest elements of this movie. McDormand on the lead delivered clearly an Oscar worthy performance, she was so great with her character's internal language...time to time slowly revealing the pain underneath the rage was something so stunning & compelling to watch that I haven't seen in most of the acclaimed & major films of recent years. Sam Rockwell just nailed his supporting role of Dixon, a small town racist police officer, the development & along the way the changes in his character were another striking part of the film. Not just being a fan of McDonagh's IN BRUGES (2008), I think this is the best film of the year that really deserve some major recognition in coming award season. >>: A |
