Bump.

As a self-reward for finishing my exams, I went ahead and watched the OT and TFA, which I haven’t done in ages. I must say it was a satisfying experience.

Star Wars (1977) - 9/10

Classic. It doesn’t have the best story or script in the world, but it does a great job at being a fun, sci-fi epic.

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - 9/10

Excellent follow up which manages to be even better than the original. Very innovative and has great characters, all of which play off each other brilliantly.

Return of the Jedi (1983) - 7/10

While sadly not nearly as good as the first two, this film still manages to be a very fun film. I don’t like the fact that Harrison and Carrie utterly phoned it in, nor the clashing tone throughout.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) - 7/10

A return to form for the franchise, full of fun characters and great action. I have no idea how anyone could possibly find any of the prequels superior to this.

Oh your the guy who loved the Batman serials more than any other Batman thing. I’m out.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) - 8/10

Really enjoyed it. Had fun characters and a great soundtrack.

I can’t even hum for you anything that wasn’t

Really? I find myself humming numerous tracks from the ROTS soundtrack.

HansiG (2016) - 3/10

. . . and I believe he should be banned.

Why?

Why not?

HansiG (2016) - 3/10

Has some good moments, though they are few and far between. Mostly just comes off as annoying and I believe he should be banned. Also makes numerous errors in grammar and form.

I blame science on making me realise how unrealistic the idea of God is. I wish I could go back. That wasn’t a bash on religion, please don’t take it the wrong way. I wasn’t trying to insult anyone. I’m just not sold on the concept.

I don’t really want that to happen, it was just a fun idea.

Finn lays unconscious on a bed in a small Resistance cruiser, overlooked by some officers. His heartrate is steady, and his breathing clear. Suddenly a blast rings out, and the ship shudders. Sirens ring out. A large ship looms over the top of the cruiser, causing a large shadow. Several Stormtroopers jump out of the ship, attached to cables, and cut open the door to the cruiser. Those who are in the hanger bay are sucked out violently, into the depths of space. Stormtroopers spill apoard the cruiser, shooting down anything in their path. Last to arrive is Captain Phasma, who asks the troopers if they have found Finn yet. One says where he is, and Phasma walks to the medical bay, where Finn is resting unaware of the commotion. Phasma unhooks his drip, and turns of his life support. Finn starts violently shaking, his breathing becoming unsteady. His eyes flash open, though he is unable to talk. Phasma loads her weapon, when she is sucked out of the ship by an unknown force, back into the First Order ship. The other troopers are also sucked out, but are simply left in the vacuum of space.

Onboard the ship, Phasma is abruptly brought on. It turns out the ship has been taken over by Kylo, there are dead Stormtroopers littering the ship, accompanied by the corpse of General Hux, face clouded with fear. Kylo questions what Phasma was doing, to which she responds she was assasinating the “traitor” Kylo says he has special plans for him, and brings him onboard the ship as well, at this point he is unconscious once more. He dumps him uncaringly against a wall. Phasma asks what they will do now. Kylo replies “There is no we” and Phasma’s armour starts dinting all around, compacting as she is still in it. She tries to hold it back, but she screams. Then her helmet is crushed and she stop. Her corpse falls to the floor and blood begins leaking out.

Did I just here the real-life voice of TV’s Frink?

To be quite honest, it sounds pretty much like I expected it to.

I always imagined he’d sound like Jack Skellington.

I’ve been watching far too many films considering that my exams are in two days and I really should be studying.

Linas Ren walks up the steps and to Ben.

Also, while your script has some good parts, the villains are protrayed as squabling idiots, not at all threatening, and the dialogue is kind of lame, it also seems rushed, and a lot of it is filler.

Predators (2010) - 6.5/10

I enjoyed it quite a bit. The direction was pretty good, I liked all the action scenes, I especially like that the tone was closer to the original Predator rather than the disastrous AvP flicks. I thought the actors all did a good job with what they were given, and I liked the characters (though some felt very disposable). I really liked Danny Trejo and Walton Goggins in the film, and their characters were fun. I think if the script had been tightened up and the effects done better this could easily stand next to the first film.

Will add Ant-Man and Civil War once I watch them

Ugh I am so stupid excited for Civil War. Just. Ughhhh.

#TeamIronMan

Already seen it 😛

I don’t know if I could rank them. None of them are great films, even Winter Soldier, which is probably my favourite of the bunch, would get a seven or an eight out of ten.

Dumb Jurassic Park reference.

*hilarious

unnecessary sequel.

Kind of but who cares?

Dumb plot.

Nope.

Al is a stupid villain (both in the sense that I don’t like him as a villain, and that the character is an idiot).

Not in a million years.

Secondary Woody characters that I don’t care one iota about.

Certainly not.

Toy Story 2 (1999) - 9/10

My goodness, I haven’t seen this in years! It certainly brought back nostalgia, as I used to watch this all the time when I was younger. It’s got some flaws, but they’re all minuscule and hardly detract from the film, which has glorious animation and terrific voice acting, plus some extremely humorous and emotional moments. It stands up just as well as it did when I was six.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) - 9/10

What a film. I loved the characters and the story, and the direction was fantastic. The cinematography I adored. It was just amazing, and I absolutely loved it.

Attack the Block (2011) - 7/10

A few characters are quite annoying, and some aren’t well acted, but I love the concept, and it’s executed wonderfully. I think I like John Boyega more in this than I do in The Force Awakens. The ending is perfect, and I love the soundtrack.

Evil Dead II (1987) - 9/10

The acting and writing aren’t exactly top of the line, but it has a great tone, amazing comedy, and fantastic direction, with a very good performance from Bruce Campbell. Highly entertaining. I especially love the POV shots of the Evil, which are utilized to great effect.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) - 7/10

Some characters get little to do and the plot is stupid, like most spy films, but it’s fun and pretty well acted. I don’t know whether I prefer this or Ghost Protocol.

Avengers - Age of Ultron - 5/5

Not as good as The Avengers, but a still very great. Excellent finale to Phase Two.

Nope!

Apparently Lego was sued in the early years of Bionicle for using native Maori words to name their toys. They then changed some of the names spelling.

Just found this in the back of my closet when I was cleaning it out. My, how it brings back nostalgia.

Experience the awesome action-packed adventure in BIONICLE 2: LEGENDS OF METRU NUI, the all-new, full length CGI-animated movie that goes deeper into the world of BIONICLE!

When mysterious dark forces threaten the glorious city of Metru Nui, Toa Lhikan gives six Matoran the tools and responsibilities of new Toa. These guardians must quickly master their new powers, demonstrate their worth to their honourable leader Turaga Dume, retrieve the hidden great Kanoka Disks and rescure the inhabitants of their island city! Will they succeed before time runs out, or will darkness prevail?

BIONICLE 2: LEGENDS OF METRU NUI features all new allies and adversaries - including ruthless Vahki Enforcers and mysterious Dark Hunters! Experience the nonstop action and adventure as Vakama and his five courageous companions set out to prove they are worthy of their own legends!

I’m afraid to watch it again, as judging by the cover of the DVD, the animation is garbage, and the blurb sounds really cheesy, but I need a kick of nostalgia, so maybe I’ll go for it.

Plus it’s got two of the best villains ever (Grant and Klebb).

Really? I thought both were some of the worst parts of the film.
