Sand Castle (2017)
6/10
Good Movie
14 January 2018
The movie is slow to develop, with the first 60-65 minutes strung out with few to little action and not much developing other than some small character relationships and developments.

The movie I feel does a great job from a soldiers perspective in what some deal with and how they cope. In addition to how the botherhood bonding is and takes place as well as how one's feelings change over time.

The movie picks up with fury for the last 45 minutes with some great battle scenes and some sadness. Again the characters take on massive character changes and the relationships come into play.

The main character is very easy to relate with and like-able. The main character also has a very good character arc.

Good story line and plot as well.

I recommend this movie.

Great Show
13 January 2018
Great show with some great dialogue and characters. The show is entertaining from start to finish. Character relationships and dialogue are hilarious at times while still maintaining the seriousness with one another.

The continually growing plot and development of all the characters keeps you invested and wanting to watch more. Cameos from big stars and athletes is a bonus for the show.

I recommend this show to anyone.

Backcountry (I) (2014)

Warning: Spoilers
I very much enjoy outdoor, adventurous movies. I was excited when I stumbled on this movie and the premise of it, even more so that is was based on true events.

There is not much of a character build up for either, just boyfriend and girlfriend, nothing more about that, which is okay but for the movie length and very little happening more of that could have been portrayed.

It is literally just them walking in the woods for the first 45-50 minutes if not a little more. You begin to get glimpses of the bear at this time, but nothing more than a bloody toe and/or why the bear is chasing them.

The confrontation is short, abrupt and essentially just in your face with out much of a draw out.

The early on confrontation with the 2nd male character is strange as well, has no part or meaning to the story, somewhat silly. Then at the end it turns out that that person is actually a guide? Yet somehow early on in the confrontation with the couple he is a creepy prick, which doesn't really fit for a guide.

The movie with the little plot, character arc could easily have been 30-40 minutes without many drawn out filler time.

I would not recommend the film for anyone.

The Last Kingdom (2015–2023)
9/10
Great TV Show
12 January 2018
Just happened to find this show scrolling through Netflix one day. So happy I found this series.

The first episode was good, but it took 2-3 to draw me in. I think the plot and story are just great. It is a twist on the Viking world that is currently taking TV by storm. The actors do a phenomenal job with their characters and interaction with one another.

I love how the relationships have developed between all of the characters in this world, between Uhtred/Alfred/Ragnar and just the many many other characters how have strained and strengthened relationship. I have turned several friends onto this who are GoT fans. I think this series is right there with GoT.

I can't wait for another year of it and I am interested in where they take the story and the characters!

Bad Movie
12 January 2018
I was so looking forward to this movie. To see the return of Luke, to see them build on some of the things JJ started in TFA (a movie which I thought was a 5 of 10). TLJ killed absolutely everything in the SW universe. Let me start by just saying the humor is absolute garbage. "Yo Mama" jokes in the opening 2 minutes, Luke milking a sea cow, wtf man. Then there is the whole bomb dropping scene in...yea space.

Leia who apparently is a Jedi now and can live in space and use the force to fly back to the ship. Apparently now first order can track hyper space, which essentially would have killed the rebellion from the start, because there is no way they could get away, and oh btw Snoke the leader doesn't even know they have that ability.

Ah Snoke, was so excited to see who he was, tossing Rey around like nothing and he dies from a stupid parlor trick. Kylo killed his dad, so he completed his journey (well snoke said that would do it) then he can't kill his mom, hmmm.

Admiral Hodo or whatever, what a garbage character, won't tell anyone her plan which essentially leads to mutiny and gets countless people killed, Po Dameron looks like an idiot in this film.

Finn, I was pumped to see what Finn would become and he is a joke, side show joke they made him! Rose?!?!!?! What a stupid damn chracter, she is worthless, along with Benicio's character, with a trip to a casino planet where they accomplish nothing!!!

Luke Skywalker is absolutely ruined, the guy who found hope in Darth Vader the most evil sith ever, he brings him to the light, but wants to kill his nephew because he senses some possible darkness...wtf!!!

It's official as well Rey is a Mary Sue and cannot be beaten, she defeats Luke in combat, lifts an avalanche with no training. So Rey has beat Kylo and Luke already in combat and can use the force anyway she wants...needless to say we know it will be an easy win, with Force Goddess Rey!

This movie has a super garbage plot, story, character arcs and garbage dialogue and jokes.

In addition I was shocked this has a 7.5 of 10. I scrolled through the first 250 reviews, 1-9 star, 1-8 star and 2-6 star; the rest are 5 and under with majority being 2 and 1! Apparently the rest of the ratings are 7+

Disney has killed SW for me 100%, didn't care for TFA and absolutely hated TLJ! I am only one person but they will no longer get my money.
