Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983)
1983 | Fantasy, Sci-Fi

"Star Wars, the first trilogy. Obviously Star Wars is one of the landmark films of all time, being ahead of its time with special effects — the overall scope and perspective of that film being what it was at that time; not to mention the ingenuity of the story line and the character development of all of those films. I really like the fact that not only are we dealing with great characters, great storylines, great special effects, and all of those things, there’s the extra added element of spirituality, which a lot of people seem to either not recognize or ignore. But the fact is you’re talking about the dark side of the Force and the light side and what’s good and evil, and the Emperor, and the politics; there’s a lot of politics involved. I think it’s a great reflection on life as a whole."

Gal gadot shines. So does Pedro pascal as Maxwell lord (0 more)
Kristen with seems to fall in the same recipe character (0 more)
Wonder woman 84 has sequeitis basically the first one was great we have to pump the other one fast. Patti Jenkins (hopefully I spelled it right) just was like I know what I'm doing also getting limited production with covid didn't help. I felt like steve would just come back not in someone else body would work because they did dangerous stuff and they didn't think twice or acknowledge that he really shouldn't do that. Also not rally acknowledge it I didn't think he was inhabiting another body till the end also kristen wiig's character was such a change to evil. It didn't feel like a villain for Diana, also it seems she does that character slot overall great character growth on Diana. Cheetah look could be better. It's ok

Haunted Forever
My Soul To Take- is a good slasher killer movie directed by Craven.

The Plot: In the small town of Riverton, a local legend tells of a serial killer's oath to come back and kill the seven children who were born on the night he supposedly died. Now 16 years later, Riverton residents are disappearing again, making some wonder if the legend is true. Bug (Max Thieriot), plagued by nightmares all his life, is one of the so-called Riverton Seven, and it's up to him to save his friends from an evil that will not rest.

The film's title comes from a line in the prayer "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep", which reads "If I shall die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." The prayer features in the film.

Like i said its a good slasher killer movie.

Celaena was just what I liked in a character; bad arse, beautiful and someone who gives as good as she gets.

The cover is great and grabs your attention but at the same time slightly deceiving (it was what put me off buying it for so long) as it makes the book look so fantasy-esque when in fact, it's about a young (blonde) girl who rediscovers her femininity while kicking other guys arses in Tests she has to go through to become the King's Assassin, while at the same time trying to unearth an evil force.

This was an adventure, with high and lows and awww's and ewww's and I was hooked from the very first page.

The romance aspect caught me up in it too, though I think I'm 100% in Chaol's court.

Looking forward to reading Crown of Midnight now to see what happens next!

You Better Watch Out
Christmas Evil- is a psychlogical horror film that tells the story of a tramaic Harry who was tramaist as a child. He witness santa claus, so he believes is santa claus making out. Now as Harry as grown man goes around dressing up as santa claus and starts killing people.

This reminds me so much of Joker. Think about it. A trama man who is insane, crazy and dress up and starts killing people. What really ticks off a human being. It takes a deep drive into the psychological espect of what makes a man go mad. He's trying to live a normal life but society/the world that he is living in is saying no.

During production, the film had the working title Santa. Originally titled You Better Watch Out, also known as Terror in Toyland.

Its a excellent film.

I think I actually enjoyed the first half of the book more than the second. Kira learning what she was and what she could do, how she grew into her abilities. The second half, the sort of government side of it, I wasn't so bothered about. Good overtaking evil is always nice but I wasn't interested in that aspect of this story.

It was an interesting concept, something I'd not read before and something that kept me reading. Everyone talks and interact using their minds and touching is something rather sacred as the emotions that are exchanged can be very overwhelming and intimate.

It intrigued me into wondering where the author would take it and I was a little disappointed by the government wanting a piece of them. It seemed kinda cliché but at the same time it was quite good.

I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

The latest (I think, and at the time of writing) in Disney's reimagining of their classic films (see also: Dumbo, Aladdin, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, etc …) , with this one being a mix of live action and CGI and also - to the best of my knowledge - not actually even released in cinemas, but instead being a Disney+ exclusive even before the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic.

Sticking pretty faithfully to the same beats as the animated original - spoiled Cocker Spaniel, Street Dog, the famous Spaghettis scene (which I can't watch now without thinking of the version with Santa's Little Helper in The Simpsons) - this nonetheless does slightly change parts of the story, with the most noticeable (to me) being the Siamese Cats, who here have a completely new song but are still responsible for Lady ending up on the streets (see, I told you: all Cats are evil!).
