The Acolyte: Lost/Found (2024)
LucasFilm lost the plot
I've read 300+ novels, own all the movies 1-6, took my children to all the prequels as they were released, saw Episode 4 at the drive-in in 1977.
This is not Star Wars.
This is Harvey Weinsteins Assistant writing fan fiction in the Star Wars Universe from the point of view of a sexual predator.
I certainly wonder how many women this "human being" fed to the predator who was apparently well known for taking advantage of women in a sexual way? Leslye is a woman herself and I cannot possibly image knowing a woman who would feed other women to a known r@pist, but hey that's who Kathleen Kennedy believes who should be in creative control of LucasFilm. I haven't watched any Star Wars movies since Solo because of what they did to the legend Billie D Williams.
Fear the Walking Dead: All I See Is Red (2023)
I cannot wait for this to end.
The writing has been forced into lightning fast pace because it failed so bad last season. Twelve episodes instead of sixteen, so now there is no time to develop the story and connect with the characters or tension to build, everything is so forced I have not been emotionally vested in any of the deaths or plots. I didn't shed a tear for Morgan and Dwayne, Grace's death, Finch's death, Sherry and Dwight's break-up, none of it. The writing has been so bad, AND the Directors have been so bad they ruined my favorite TWD character Morgan Jones, and thank GOD this was his last appearance in FTWD, at least they can't ruin him any more. Just don't air the last six episodes weekly, dump all six at the same time so we can binge the rest, be done with it, and put it out of our memories forever like World Beyond.
The Walking Dead: A New Deal (2022)
Almost perfect
Literally edge of my seat. The tension hasn't been this intense since season 7. The end of this episode was quite satisfying, and the gore in this episode is quite nasty and had me and the wife flinching several times. Judith is looking so old at this point and getting tall, I really hope they continue with the character in the spin offs though I doubt the actress would carry over, maybe a time jump and re-cast? I am deeply concerned that Eugene is going to get the Rick death from the comic books. Unfortunately it is clear as a bell that he will be shot in retaliation from Pamela Milton directed at Stephanie.
Fear the Walking Dead: Amina (2022)
Just what every superfan wants
48 minutes of dream sequences and hallucinations. Awesome. From bottle episodes to half of the episode wasn't real! I will watch the last episode, but it is highly unlikely I will be back for season 8. Oh yeah, the best thing they ever did was kill Madison, now she is back in the last episode.... What kind of tax break did they get for hiring these writers/showrunner?
Fear the Walking Dead: Sonny Boy (2022)
Three episode arc crammed into one
John, he went from trying to reason with Strand using a talk, to which June says something to the effect of Strand will turn you to his thinking. By the end of the episode he has flip flopped on his mind set three or four times, has a heroic death and dies. I felt nothing, no tears, and by the time I watched episode 13 today I had already forgotten he died. John was my favorite character, he had a heroic death and I didn't get choked up. They forced all of this arc into one episode instead of developing it across three or four episodes, creating tension ..is he really betraying June...did he get bit....will he make it....nope none of that. Four episodes worth of story forced into one. Bad writing. I still cry when Abraham dies. Still horrified over Glenn. John SR I felt nothing.
The Four Horsemen (2008)
Military men back from Iraq after death of friend.
This is an awful movie. I had high hopes going in and was completely let down when I watched this.
The acting was horrible and unconvincing. Every bit of dialog was forced and overly dramatic without a talent to deliver a convincing line.
I guess I was expecting a movie like Day Zero but it was a lot closer to Plan Nine From Outer Space. Just terrible.
Its a shame really because I have been hoping to see some movies about the soldiers and the things they are going through over in Iraq and Afganistan that will show the truth behind the bravery of our troops and the mission they are on.
This however is not the film. Good story. Very poorly executed.
