Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)

What have you done George?

[1/10 · 2 April 2018]

Lets get this right straight off the bat, being a massive Star Wars fan right from childhood and still having all my original toys in the loft I was excited by Disney buying Star Wars as it would mean I steady supply of new star wars movies which hopefully built on the solid foundations of what George lucas did.

When they announced JJ Abrams was involved I could of cried as I knew what this talentless hack would do and I was not wrong, I would rather sit through a 2hr movie about Jar Jar binks and watch this trash again.

Now we are 2 films in on the main story run and both are trash, can we hope its 3rd time lucky? To be honest I don't think so the contempt Disney and JJ Abrams along with the Ryan Johnson the puppet have had so far for fans is evident to see in stupid telephone jokes and setting the first order up to look like something from the great dictator by Charlie Chaplin for 2 hours.

Along with 2 stories which are remakes and have no original story that makes wants you to watch more.

Disney and Abrams turns out to be a good combination and better than the Empire in destroying your childhood dreams and an amazing universe.

I hope the billions were worth it George to see your life's work destroyed.

CHIPS (2017)

good light fun

[7/10 · 24 April 2017]

Being one of my favorite TV shows from my child hood I was dreading this remake, but if you let go of the past you will enjoy this movie for what it is and its just light fun with some really funny moments.

Plot wise its pretty predictable but is was not 2 hours of my life wasted and in the end I enjoyed the new CHIPS.

Ignore the critic wannabe's and give it a go, just don't expect anything from the 80's or that will make you think.
