Great Action scenes (2 more)
Awesome Sfx
Ties in well with the other films
A new lease of life for the Star Wars saga
Another great Star Wars film that links nicely with A new hope. Probably the best film I saw last year and I watched a lot of films. To me it even betters Force Awakens and feels like a new film. Whereas Force Awakens felt more like a retread of ideas from the original trilogy.

Plot holes
This book follows the story of survivors of what appears to be a major terrorist attack. It's suspenseful but sometimes feels forced. It's not something I think i will ever pick up again but it's an enjoyable enough read for someone who is a fan of Stephen King. There are many elements to the story that make it clear that this book fits well within the standard "King" writing style.

Following Lee and Clementine is one of the hardest, saddest, and painfullest journey's I've had to make since Last of Us. Ok not that bad but dammit the feels are real. The controls are stupid and looking for batteries is a pain in the ass, but the cast has someone for everyone.... to hate. I'M LOOKING AT YOU DUCK!

The magic doesn't quite ring true in this one
This film just doesn't seem to have the magic we've all come to know and love from the Harry Potter Verse. While the cast is great in their roles, the story just falls flat. It's attempts to have too many twists without delivering on any of them
Dean (6927 KP) rated Tropa de Elite (The Elite Squad) (2007) in Movies
Apr 30, 2019
A very good film, although I had hoped for something a little bit more after the trailer. It's more of an action/drama dealing with the drug trade in the slums of Rio in Brazil. It has a good story and is well made and shot with a fair share of brutal, violent action scenes. Almost feels like a documentary at times it has that raw feel about it. From the same director as City of God.

Class comedy drama
What could be a boring story regarding a womans life after her husbands death gets spun on its head. Christina Applegate and the rest of the cast put their acting capabilities to the full with this biting story about grieving, loss and redemption.
The twists come thick and fast without being contrived. Give it ago it feels fresh for such a well treaded subject.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Saw: The Final Chapter (2010) in Movies

A poor, hopefully final, film in the Saw series. The story wasn't as interesting as the previous ones, the effects actually don't look as good in this film and even the traps are not as well thought out as the other films. I saw it on DVD in 2D but fail to see how many scenes would have been better in 3D? I prefer the 6th one as the final film, this feels like a rushed cash in!
Charles Burbridge (13 KP) rated Midnight Sun (2018) in Movies

Moviepass strikes again, taking me to a film I'd never, ever pay to see in a theater.
Surprisingly, Midnight Sun was competent. It is a reasonable movie aimed square at teen girls, and guess what? Since my daughters were once teen girls, I think that I can say that this would have hit them square in the feels.
Was the movie for me? No. Did I actively hate it? No. Will the target audience rave about it? Likely.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2572 KP) rated The Reformed (Burn Notice, #4) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Michael tries to help a reformed gang leader turned priest escape his past when his former gang tries to use him to launder money and hide other activities. The characters are pitch perfect and the plot feels like something from the show itself. A great read whether you are a fan of the show or not.
