Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Better than expected
The expectations of this movie could not have been much larger and the critics were out in full force. I expected to see a boring, flat and Phantom Menace type performance but I was pleasantly surprised.
JJ had a major task at hand by pulling together over 40 years of storied history into 2 1/2 hours of overhyped cinema. I think he did it justice.
Hardcore fans might be upset about the little plot twists but I felt the movie did justice to the storied history and culture that is the Luke Skywalker saga. Sure, maybe there should have been more Luke or maybe JJ tried to bring too much history back but overall Rae and Ren stole the show.
It is always good to leave knowing the Jedis and the force are in control and this film did just that. It was funny (and cheesy as always) and it stuck to the traditional values that Lucas would expect . The story was good...not great. The graphics and sound were great...not amazing. But let's face it....this is the 9th episode of amazing story that we have come to expect too much from and in this case I believe that Mr Abrams didn't disappoint.
Rip Up the Road (2019)
Music fan or Foals fan....it's worth ot
It is fun, interesting, depressing, exciting and overall just a great peak into the life of a wonderful modern day rock band. The film does an amazing job of fulfilling your Foals "fix" with live shows and a realism of the touring endured by the band. By the end you feel an understanding of the band, the world, and what it is like to be a part of one of the best bands in the world.

Don't waste your time
This was the most predictable, dumb, overrated movie in a decade. Don't waste your time.
