I downloaded it for the kids. Put it in to make sure the disc burned correctly. Don't tell anyone I watched it. I have a reputation to maintain.

Worse. Rob Schneider didn't reprise his role from the first film. Not sure if it's because he got blackballed for his anti-vaccine comments or if it was a scheduling conflict. It's a kids movie. Plus, I hear that Kevin James is a dick in real life, which makes me not like his work.

This is the order I'm watching them in;

1. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
2. Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
3. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Spoiler for Prequel Trilogy (quick summary):

So, all in all I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, the pacing was a bit off at times in EP 1&2 and the acting was a bit underacted at times but the character development between Anakin and Obi-Wan was great, nice and in depth showing a clear mutual respect and teamwork.

The rest of the primary characters I felt had the appropriate amount of screen time to become a quintessential part of the plot leading up to their ends or continuations and the way they portrayed Anakins decent into the darkside was done well and streamlined well enough for new audiences and in depth enough for existing audiences.

My favourite of the three would be episode III.
The pacing was a lot better, the characters all had their arks tied up adequately (maybe could of had an extra 20 minutes on the run time) and the last two fight scenes were not only badass, well orchestrated and well acted but (partnered with John Williams' score) musically pleasing and grand.

If felt like a solid and complete prequel trilogy I reckon.

5. Star Wars: Rogue One

Spoiler for Rogue One (quick summary):

This one was alot better than I expected.

I liked the way it felt a bit grittier and more serious portrayed with guerrilla warfare, while it took a way from the 'fun' aspect of what seems to make Star Wars Star Wars it was still a nice change of pace.

I felt the plot was written well with justifiable reason throughout. I also went into it thinking there was gonna be a **** load of supporting roles which all had no development, thankfully I was wrong.

The action itself looked great, beautiful even.
The special effects were also great coupled with the music and the climax of the film as an opener to the original trilogy felt complete.

My only real gripe with it is that Myn and Cassian didn't feel very memorable and didn't really have any unique traits or distinguishable features about them.
They seemed a bit Vanilla but were acted great none the less.

Oh, yeah... and Donnie Yen rules.

6. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
7. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
8. Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

Spoiler for Original Trilogy (quick summary):

Really enjoyed these three from start to finish so much so that I watched all three of them in one sitting.

Thought it aged surprisingly well considering the time of release and magnitude of special effects needed to create the universe.

The practical effects were also really well done, there were alot more than I thought there would be which is good.

The pace seemed abit slower in VI but for some reason I was completely fine with it as the time it took was getting to know a new species (which i loved instantly).

The way it humanised Anakin by the end after he'd turned to the dark side was great, redeeming himself at the end attributing to Luke skills and senses.

I thought Vader killing Palpatine and then dying from the shock damage was the best was they could've done it.

The banter between characters like C3P0, Han and Chewie etc was also great.
Added a nice contrast of personality and charm to them all.

Again, a nice and complete trilogy, a lot of fun.

9. Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Spoiler for The Force Awakens (quick summary):

While I would've liked to see more about Rens backstory, how Han and Leia came to conceive him and how Lukes Jedi restoration ended prematurely it was still a very fun and enjoyable time.

Hans death was a right bastard but I already knew it was coming because 4chan spoilt it.

Loved all the new characters, the plot, the visual effects, the acting etc

The pacing was a little off at times but all together wasn't a problem.

Also loved the little cameos here and there eg. Yayan Ruhian, Iko Uwais, Cecep Arif Rahman etc

A nice continuation.

Can't remember if I've seen any Star Wars movies all the way through and this is way overdue tbh, should be interesting.

Well, after watching all of these I can definitely say I've become a fan.

Really like the lore, the characters, the different species, the different planets etc

I enjoyed all of them for the most part, they were all a lot of fun.

I'll be watching the others that come out in the future for sure.

The Shape of Water

Just got back from watching this, thought that it was a really well-made and heartfelt. It wasn't very long, but by the end of it, it was hard not to be more worried about the shape of water in my bladder than The Shape of Water. Recommended 8/10

^I second Frown's take on TSOW. See it and love it.

Today I caved into yet another desire to see a movie that I knew was probably going to kind of objectively suck because I thought it'd still be entertaining - sort of like anything involving Chuck Norris. So yeah, I saw The Commuter, and while yes it did have a pretty thin plot that was totally ridiculous, it was highly entertaining.

Not the biggest Del Tormo fan, but I'm possibly going to see this soon anyway. It just seems like an interesting movie.

You should go see it >:0

I so want to watch it again, but I was barely able to handle it the first time around. (After getting back home from the theater I had to just immediately lie face down on the floor just to compose myself. Del Toro is trying to kill me)

Recommended 8/10 Spoiler for rotten apple: I really loved how this film revealed necessary elements of the plot without directly telling them to you (something that the introduction had me concerned about). When they introduced the pie shop, I thought that they were going to draw some heavy parallels between a homosexual love and Elisa and fishbro's love, but they threw my expectations on that. My sister told me about a theory that the whole scenario was all Giles's imagination based on his paintings which throws another loop onto the movie, at least in terms of things to unravel. In the end I felt like there could have been a lot more in this movie to chew on but I also think that further viewings will be very elucidating. Also that scene where she sings absolutely fucking wrecked me. Fuck. I like how they connected how they found Elisa in a river with how they found the fishbro in a South American river. There might be a dark lining to that where he more or less groomed this girl from birth or maybe this was even an Oldboy situation. Also, did his dick have gills? __________________ Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the unchanging, the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth. d e a f b o x
