Great look at a grittier side of Star Wars
on April 6, 2017
Posted by: marcojrus
Rogue One gives us a great "boots on the ground" look at the Star Wars Universe. The story steers clear of Jedi characters in favor of regular soldier-type characters and gives us a grittier look at what the war looks like from the view of the grunts.
The film gets off to a bit of a slow start, jumping from location to location and making it difficult to truly get to know the characters 100%, and a small section in the middle seems like a piece of another side plot which was abandonded. However, the film quickly finds its footing and the main characters get their due. Unfortunately some of the other characters never quite get the screen time they deserve, but all is made better by the amazing third act, which makes for an amazing payoff for the film. The third act is one of the greatest sequences in Star Wars, and includes what may be my favorite scene in the saga. Is it perfect? No, but it is a great film, and a worthy addition to the franchise.

Entertaining, yet flawed Sci-Fi
on March 29, 2017
Posted by: marcojrus
The film is overall entertaining, and I had little problem enjoying it for what it is. What held it back in my opinion was its' reluctance to explore some of the darker sides of the plot which are barely hinted at, and which the film would have done well to delve into as a character study. Instead the film fell back on more familiar tropes regarding character love stories. However, it was still worth a watch.

An interesting mystery thriller film, flawed perhaps, but entertaining to watch on a rainy afternoon.

![The Hateful Eight - BLU-RAY [Standard]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/df2f5069-0d43-4e18-843f-330a6c28542c.jpg)
During a post-Civil War Wyoming winter, a stagecoach bearing a bounty hunter (Kurt Russell), his foul-mouthed prize (Jennifer Jason Leigh), an ex-Union officer (Samuel L. Jackson) and a lawman (Walton Goggins) makes it's way towards Red Rock. The worsening snows force them to shelter at a general store occupied by a caretaker (Demian Bichir), a cowboy (Michael Madsen), Red Rock's hangman (Tim Roth), and an aged Confederate general (Bruce Dern). As the blizzard traps them within-possibly with no escape-resentments, greed, and hidden agendas emerge that might destroy them before the elements do, in Quentin Tarantino's moody and stylish sagebrusher.

This film is a very interesting period whodunnit, it runs a bit too long perhaps but otherwise very good.

A visually amazing film which runs just a bit too long in my opinion, but otherwise very much worth a watch.
