« Previous EntriesForce Awakens: Spoiler review of an average film
Sunday, December 27th, 2015At the end of the day, A Force Awakens is a decent film. Standing by itself, it’s flawed fan service that only gets half of what it is doing right. Given time, I think most will come to agree this is just a 5.5 film, but if you add in hype and anticipation it’s an 8.
Darth Jar Jar rules Star Wars – Episode 8 reveal
Friday, December 11th, 2015Darth Jar Jar (DJJ) is the top Sith, and Emperor Palpatine worked for him. That’s why Palpatine needed a Death Star, DJJ is too strong in person (or planetside).

2015 Movie Trailer – Wild Card – starring Jason Statham
Saturday, December 13th, 2014The latest remake, Wild Card, appears to be an unflinching copy of Burt Reynolds’s film Heat (not to be confused with the DeNiro/Pacino heist film of the same name but vastly different plot).

Mad Max Fury Road trailer – impressions
Sunday, July 27th, 2014With the anticipation of this film, the first trailer was supposed to be the knock-out punch that sells the film. It doesn’t. But it does make me predict that this film will live up to none of the things that fans love about the original series.
