Same moral, same character arch. It feels lazy to reuse this plot but it's mind bending how well it works.

The closest thing to the original twilight zone we've gotten so far

Simply beautiful, beautifully simple
15 September 2019
There is no grand plot in this movie. There is not amazing twist. It paces itself out with an amazingly heartwarming story arc, where the story is more in character development than anything else. Definitely the most beautiful movie I've seen this year. The location, cinematography, and entire mood of the film was phenomenal. Highly recommended.

A rare artwork from a dying platform
16 August 2019
The last 5 years have experienced an extreme decline in quality when it comes to creator entertainment. Youtube was once a place that was built on the content of creators without the interference of major businesses. The second half of the decade saw a corporate takeover of the platform, bringing in a higher emphasis on quantity rather than quality. And so the incline of empty gameplay videos, vlogs, and corporate filler destroyed the creator backbone of YouTube.
However, the increased popularity of quality video games and content has created a renaissance of sorts on YouTube, similar to Disney's in the 90s. Felix's Minecraft videos have been the peek of this YouTube renaissance. It has brought a return to the early days of YouTube and Minecraft let's plays.
And yet it is still a magnificent series by itself. The core story progresses smoothly and the characters are phenomenal. Each moment in the series is important and Felix does not waste time on filler as in other television or internet series. Overall, the quality of the series is extraordinarily high as is the cultural importance, making this video series a solid 10/10.

Stayed halfway on track

This review is from a Christian point of view. First I understand how this episode and it's plot points would be useful to the progress of the storyline of the show, but I felt like this show was more of a message to Christianity than a progression of the show. The pace was more sluggish, and this episode felt distant from the rest of the show, as if it had a different purpose. Some reviewers are saying this episode is attacking Christianity, which it does from my point of view. However I think it offends more than it makes sense. The Christian leaders shown are not realistic, at least from what I've seen in my life in a Christian family. Leaders in the church groups I've been a part of have been more genuine than the people shown in the show. There was less ignorance and saying "we don't need proof" as Ezekiel said. There is proof that backs Christian beliefs, so saying this is illogical. However, I am aware some churches/Christians are like that. And to me, an ignorant Christian is not a good example of Christ. Also the atheist arguments made in this episode were not logical. It was more bullying than real debate or actual points. The people who made these shows created the "Christians" in them, and I must say, they didn't do a very good job. However, I do understand how some of the other aspects of the episode furthered the plot, but not much did. This was about 10-25% the amount of progression that the other episodes showed. But other than this episode, I've enjoyed the show overall so far.
Better after the sense of anticipation a leaves

Warning: Spoilers
When I first saw the last Jedi, I didn't necessarily like it. I didn't think it was hot garbage like a lot of hurt fanboys think, but I didn't love it.
There were a lot of things that annoyed me on the first viewing, like the character of rose and admiral holdo. (It is not the actors fault that I didn't like rose, I actually think she was really good at portraying the role given to her, but the character that was written was just not written so that I liked her)
Other things in the movie disappointed me, like the "revelation" of Rey's parents, how grumpy and emotionless Luke was, and the anti-climactic final "battle" if you can call it that.
This was all my first impression. I had built it up the previous months so much and had in my head what I was expecting and never received what I wanted. However, I recently watched TFA and TLJ back to back. This has been the first time I've watched it in about 6 months, and I honestly thoroughly enjoyed The Last Jedi This time.
Of course there are glaring mistakes in the movie, holdo being one of them. Honestly this is the only character I've consistently disliked since the beginning. I hate whenever a character in a position such as hers talks like she did to Poe when she first met him. This is not how a military official would speak.
I was able to get over the annoying vibes I got from rose the first couple times I watched the movie. Other than her ending and a few of her lines, she was a pretty likable character and I really enjoyed the chemistry she had with Finn (I don't think she should've kissed him, that didn't make sense)
What I've always liked is the character arc Ben goes through in this movie. I liked him way better here than in TFA. He has potential to be one of my favorite Star Wars characters depending on what happens in TRoS. What I grew to like through watching it again was Luke's character and how he trained Rey.
There are huge problems with this movie, but I'm glad something original has come to the franchise. I think the trailers went in a completely different direction and threw the audience off. But when the anticipation that preceded the movie wears off, this is a very solid entry in the Star Wars franchise. Definitely not hot garbage. Be careful what Star Wars fanboys tell you, this movie is not all SJW stuff. It's not completely free of that, but that doesn't make up the entirety of the movie.

Everyone will love this

I went to this movie opening night with some friends and loved it. Went again a week later with my brother and parents. My parents are not people who really love superhero movies, but both of them loved this movie. Seriously, everyone should go see this movie, at least once. There is a 99% chance you will like it

One of my favorite shows ever

This show is hilarious. It starts off in season 1 good and only gets better as the show progresses. Tony sheloub is amazing as Adrian Monk, and there are some pretty surprising cameos throughout the show. Overall this show is an underrated masterpiece that all should watch. It's on prime so definitely check it out
One of the funniest
7 March 2019
Monk and Harold's relationship is one of the funniest parts of the entire show. I love the contrast of their compulsiveness. Super funny episode. Also Nick Offerman is in this episode and I love him cause of Ron Swanson in Parks and Rec
Great ending to the trilogy

Christopher Nolan is my favorite director. His movies are amazing. This movie is spectacular. The music is amazing, the acting is phenomenal and the story bends your brain in ways I didn't know it could. It can be hrs to understand but it's a really good sci-fi movie
