Saw the remake of Murder On The Orient Express.

 

You have to be on drugs to appreciate the ending. Because I was confused, and this whole movie is confusing. It's literally a mystery. 

Whaaaat no you don't! It was a fantastic movie!

"Who killed the person?"

"I dunno but I suspect it was that person?"

"Why?"

"Well they had a motive."

"Don't you have a motive too?"

"But he's all shady and could be lying."

"But you are looking shady even more and could be lying too."

"Am I?"

 

 "I found evidence that links to you to the murder!"

"I dunno it looks like it was planted though I think I found something...."

"Another clue..."

*Goes to another person*

"I have evidence that you were trying to frame this person."

"But I was framed for framing!"

I enjoyed The Last Jedi, but get some of the gripes that were had with it. Kinda mixed on it but can give it a pass. It just seemed the hype for it wasn’t really there like with the last few or couple films.

I'm kind of mixed on it myself. But I think the more I watch it the more I'll enjoy it. Second time is better. I'm not sure it lived up to the hype, it did get a lot of hype. Doesn't mean the movie is bad by any means.

Watched The Greatest Showman. 

 

Although the singing was a little bit jarring at times, and some of the songs were corny... And the story was "fictionalized" and "based on true events"... Still, I do like the themes it presented; the acting, and especially the choreography and movement, were top notch; the set design was extraordinary; the lighting was wonderful; the cinematography was meaningful; the costumes were superb; and though I didn't like some of the music, I really cannot deny that the rest the rest had purpose, life, and power. Not to mention, everyone brought life and charisma to their roles, even if they were a little off with the signing. The music might have been anachronistic, but I felt like it fit the upbeat nature and one of the themes of the movie. I can say it's more in place than a certain other recent musical, but this is a movie discussion thread, not a musical thread, so... eh. 

 

Sure, it's not perfect, but in the context of the movie,

If it's making people laugh and making people have a good time, then it's doing something right.

There's a lot of passion and heart that went into this movie, so I'm satisfied and happy I went to see this... even though I was a little bit reluctant at first because of Jackman, Efron, and Zendeya, all of whom I think struggled with acting and/or singing at one point in their career. They've improved

 to an extent

Saw Star Wars. 

 

It was okay... though, it does have its fair share of problems. Still, when stuff hits the fan, it hits the fan. It's no Empire, but it was okay. 

 

By thoughts: 

 

1. Empire Strikes Back 

2. A New Hope

3. Force Awakens

4. The Last Jedi

5. Return of The Jedi

6. Revenge of The Sith

7. Phantom Menace 

8. Clone Wars 

 

Not taking into account Rogue One, because of my thoughts on the expanded universe thing.

*spoilers for The Last Jedi*

 

I liked The Last Jedi, but Finn's plotline could have been entirely dropped with basically no ill effect on the movie. I get that it sets up the idea of the downtrodden rising up to fight against their oppressors but the entire time they were on the casino planet I kept thinking "aren't they under a pretty strict time limit here?" It would've brought the running time of the movie down to a better level as well. Otherwise though I quite liked that the movie plays against the audience's expectations: Luke doesn't just train Rey; Poe, Finn, and Rose's scrappy plan doesn't work; Snoke gets killed off pretty suddenly and won't be the looming threat for the next movie, etc. I would've liked to see it go even further and have Rey join Kylo Ren; maybe not as a full-fledged villain but as someone who is also wrestling with her emotions and trying to figure out what she should be doing with her Force powers, but that's probably too much to expect from a mainstream Star Wars movie, especially one under Disney's umbrella.

*Also vague spoilers*

 

Finn's storyline is really thematically important though. Both the overall story and Finn's ongoing character arc would be incomplete without it.

 

I get the feeling people keep singling out Finn and Rose's excursion as a main flaw with the movie because it feels tonally different from the rest of what's going on, and features a somewhat un-Star Warsy chase scene. The actual story beats here are no more disposable than Poe's storyline (which people also seem to have problems with, but nobody suggests excising from the movie)
