The Bad Batch (2016)
The Bad Batch (2016)
2016 | Drama
The casting of the film is interesting, neither helping nor hindering it. Waterhouse is lovely to look at but can't bring much life to Arlen beyond her beguiling face (to be fair, there isn't much of a character for her to work with).
Critic- Eric Walkuski
Original Score: 3 out of 10

I really enjoyed the first Cormoran Strike Novel. This one wasn't as good. I am not saying that [Silkworm] was bad but it was a little over written. There were a few too many red herrings that took away from the plot. Also unlike [Cuckoo's Calling] i actually figured out the perpetrator before they were identified. Still a good read especially for mystery fans.
  
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
1977 | Fantasy, Sci-Fi
A New Hope is the first movie I remember watching that wasn't animated. It was the first video tape my parents ever bought. It's my favorite out of all of the Star Wars films, and a great introduction to the world of Star Wars. It's got everything: Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin, young, attractive Harrison Ford, and bad ass Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia.

If you're into death, blood and guts then this is your film.
It's not as bad as I just made it sound.
You MUST READ THE BOOKS then and only then can you watch the films with the correct mindset.
Beautifully thrilling.
I loved the character and I loved the story. These fiction films are persued well giving they're based on the books. ????

I'm really confused as to why this movie was even made. The CGI was bad, the accents were all over the place, and the costumes looked like they were from a middle school play. Every time Jesus was on screen, all I could think about was Xerxes from 300. The 2 is only because Jack Huston and Toby Kebbell are nice to look at.

This album spoke to me in so many different ways. When it came out, I had just gone through a bad break up and so when I heard songs like Ruin and Mercy, it felt like he was singing about my pain. I believe that music is very therapeutic so listening to this album helped me get through this tough time.

No.

no no no no no.

Out of every JP book I've read, this is really pretty bad. Patterson's writing is redundant to the point of saying literally the same sentience multiple times (I counted four). the plot was weak, and I guessed all the "surprises" before I got through the third disk (out of 9).

still exciting, but really not worth your time.

Good moments. But missing greatness.
This movie has a good iconic score. It’s in your face but it’s still good. Some of the acting is bad. Mel’s father is god awful. The scenery is great. Some lines are solid. There were smiles from the dialog. But also I was bored in parts. I loved seeing all these famous faces though.
