Ahsoka (2023)
Devastatingly disappointing
I was excited to finally start the Ashoka series. Ashoka is an important and extremely popular fan favorite of Star Wars . The actor playing Ashoka was good as were every other cast member. I liked all the characters they played. The cgi was decent. But the storyline started at a low bar and maybe climbed slightly in 6 and 7
but ended as flat and dry as it began. It is fair to call the series a dismal failure. It sucks because it had everything it needed to succeed. Someone doesn't understand what Star Wars is because Disney's team keeps failing to capture its essence over. I'm a lifetime fan back when i first saw Star Wars IV in the theater as a kid. The world was hooked as we waited what felt like an eternity to see V and VI. Then to wonder if we'd ever get to see the Star Wars universe prior to Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Once again excited to finally go see Star Wars "I" and it started out with incredible actors and storyline only to have the entire movie held hostage to Jar Jar Binks. What producer failed to realize Jar Jar killed the entire film? Then so much time wasted with the pod racing when fans were expecting more action from the Jedi, Siths and Annakin. The entire underwater humanoid cgi characters were terrible. So you'd think Star Wars would have at least learned a hard lesson. "Star Wars II" was thankfully better but again the producers could have made a good movie into spectacular. "Star Wars III" was good too and once again though it felt like it could have been greater. So we fans accepted the trilogy as good as it got. We heard new producers were coming with new story's to put to life for the Star Wars universe and these were more disappointments. I've watched Star Wars 1 to 5 countless times and will again. But I've only watched the other movies once. They sucked. Thank gawd for the Mandalorian. Boba Fet was decent I think it was underrated although I agree it lacked something which is a common theme. Then I Obi Wan was great and the Darth Vader scenes were on the scale of the original Star Wars movies. This was series grasped the core of what made Star Wars have such tension and had me on the edge of my seat. I never made it thru Andor. Boba Fet, Mandalorian, and Obi Wan all have great villains to bring the dread and tension. Ashoka had villains but lacked the tension and dread.
Level with Me (2023)
Good one
Whether you believe in flat earth or not shouldn't be a reason to be "cancelled". The truth does not fear questioning, the truth is truth whether you believe it or not, truth needs no defense, truth doesn't feel threatened. Only lies fear being questioned. We all know in real life interpersonal interactions that when in a conversation if anyone personally attacks someone or makes fun of them or scoffs in any amount that is a giveaway that something is not kosher, and someone is afraid of something. Confident or truthful people don't stoop to such low heights. Any great scientist, philosopher, great thinker, or wise person knows that listening is better than talking and an open mind is smarter than a closed mind.
The Third Party (2016)
Awesome
This is a great light hearted movie. RomCom. I laughed I cried. Actors are awesome. All good looking actors. I've watched it many times now. It's a keeper. The writer and script did a fabulous job. The 3 main characters are so good together. I found this gem on Netflix. I have been searching elsewhere for it so that I may buy a copy. It a feel good movie. There is not many movies anymore that are like this. I would recommend this movie and I'd recommend it to anyone. Even young people could watch it. Family could watch it. It doest get vulgar or raunchy. It's not dirty or filthy. It is worthwhile.
Heartbreak Ridge (1986)
Loved it
I watched this when it first came out. I then owned it on video which I enjoyed watching many times. The modern culture most likely will not appreciate the lines. It was meant to be a fun movie about a tough, hard as nails Marines Gunnery Sergeant that Clint Eastwood epitomizes. Mario Van Peebles is a great addition to the film. The old war horse maybe tough or seem uncaring, however he has authentic care and concern to training his men to be able to not only survive, but to overcome, adapt, and do whatever task they are ordered to fulfill.
