Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
2015 | Action, Sci-Fi
The cast and crew of this movie was tasked with the impossible job of living up to a fandom that has thrived (sometimes rabidly and maniacally, sometimes even toxicly) for almost forty years at the time of release.

Adam Driver, Daisy Riddle, John Boyega and company did an admirable job of continuing the saga that was started all those years ago. There was also some heartache to go around for those invested in the saga.

All in all, a good entry for a new generation of fans while also mostly satisfying fans of old without alienation (except for those toxic folks I spoke of earlier.)

I saw this movie around two weeks ago, and haven't been really able to decide on a number rating. I went between a 10, then an 8, but now I've settled on 9.
I haven't read the book, so I'm not sure how much the story was embellished and/or changed, but it was overall, an entertaining 'true story'. I know Spike Lee was drawing heavy parallels to today, which, is fine, but I think everyone would have still gotten the point without the last 5-10 minutes of news footage.
Adam Driver and John David Washington were a good team, and their work together was kind of what made the movie. The last scene on the phone was the best part of the movie.

Idenity- is a very underrated horror film. It has a good cast, a good plot and a good twist at the end. Its psycholoigcal, suspenseful, thrilling, scary and twisted.

The Plot: When a vicious storm breaks out in the Nevada desert, 10 people seek refuge in an isolated motel. At the same time, a serial killer (Pruitt Taylor Vince) under the care of psychiatrist Doctor Mallick (Alfred Molina) -- who has just found the killer's revealing journal -- awaits execution for murdering a group of motel guests. When the storm-stranded travelers realize they are being killed off one by one, limo driver Ed Dakota (John Cusack) bids to stay alive and reveal the murderer's identity.

Its a really good film.
