Film Review: “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”

4 Comments

Starring: Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac

Directed by JJ Abrams

So I finally saw, “The Force Awakens” and here is my review!

Plot/synopsis: Three decades after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, a new threat arises. The First Order attempts to rule the galaxy and only a rag-tag group of heroes can stop them, along with the help of the Resistance.

A lot of people are calling this movie a remake or a homage to “Star Wars IV: A New Hope” (aka the first Star Wars movie) but I didn’t think it was. Sure both movies were kind of similar but most of “The Force Awakens” was pretty original from what I saw.

I always had faith in JJ that he’s gonna make a great Star Wars movie and he did just that. Everything about it was perfect. It felt like a Star Wars movie all the way. It’s something that George Lucas would have wanted for sure. JJ really knew what he was doing ’cause he himself is a Star Wars geek like the rest of us. Finally we have a great Star Wars movie and it was the best one of the whole series so far. All the action scenes were a blast to watch as expected. I was pretty much happy with everything in the movie. The writing was great. The musical score was great. Plus the acting of the cast was great too.

I loved the new cast. John Boyega is a pretty good actor. I loved Oscar Isaac’s role even though he wasn’t in it much. Oh man, I absolutely LOVE Daisy Ridley as I thought she was cute and gorgeous as hell! She’s one of the best female characters in Star Wars, in my opinion. I thought Domnhall Gleeson as General Hux was badass and so was Gwendoline Christie as Cpt. Phasma. I also loved Max Von Sydow’s role even though his appearance was kind of short. I thought Carrie Fisher did a brilliant job playing Leia again even though she hasn’t played that role in many years. She still kills it! It was great to see Carrie back on the big screen in a huge way!

I was happy with all of “The Force Awakens” except the only thing I wasn’t happy about is that we got very little of Luke. His role was like a few second cameo and he didn’t really say any lines but I’m sure we’ll get a LOT MORE Luke in Episode VIII. I think there’s a good chance that Luke will be the leading role in Episode VIII ’cause Luke’s appearance in “The Force Awakens” was just a re-introduction of the character, that’s all it was. We didn’t see Luke in action at all in this movie but definitely the next film we’ll see him swinging the lightsaber again.

What I was most impressed with the movie was the sound effects. The sound was pretty crazy. Especially when Kylo Ren takes out his lightsaber and the lightsaber sound is pretty loud in this movie. I expect “The Force Awakens” to win an Oscar for Best Sounds for sure.

As far as storylines go, I don’t wanna talk about so I don’t post any spoilers but as far Han Solo goes, that one didn’t surprise me ’cause I was predicting it a long while back. See? I toldjaso!

“The Force Awakens” was amazing. It’s definitely the best Star Wars movie so far but not so fast, folks! This is only the beginning of a new trilogy so there’s two more. Maybe VIII or IX will be better than VII. Who knows?

Score for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”: 5 out of 5 as in “Excellent”

Why was Hillary late at debate? Probably backstage taking her meds I bet…

Leave a comment

I didn’t watch the Dem Debate ’cause I’m done with them pretty much but I find this to be interesting though. After the first commercial break, Hillary was a no show at the podium. The moderators of ABC news wasted no time and continued the debate without her.

She showed up late. Of course, this wasn’t the first time she did this.

http://time.com/4156185/democratic-debate-hillary-clinton-late/

I’m sure the libtard media would defend her reasons but I’m almost pretty sure it had something to do with her health. Probably backstage taking her meds so she can calm herself down and stuff, ya know?

Yeah, it’s unprofessional for her to do that but no matter how unprofessional she gets, you know people are gonna love her and she’s gonna win the nomination no matter what happens.

I agree with James Woods. Even if she never showed up at any of the debates, she would win the election anyways.

I really hate how this country has a huge hardon for the Clintons. Why does this country treat the Clintons as if they’re Kate Middleton and Prince William? It’s all fucking bullshit if you ask me.

Video: Great rant about the Obama’s showing disrespect to military!!!

Leave a comment

Yet another great video by the Doctor of Common Sense and I agree with pretty much everything he said. Both Barack and Michelle have showed disrespect to the military over the years and it seems they don’t feel ashamed for it.

I also agree with the Doctor that everything Barack has done over the years was all for political gain and “communism” is Barack’s religion. If you think Barack cares for the country and the American people then you’re delusional for sure.

If you wanna know the real Obama, you should listen to the Doctor. The Doctor is one of my favorite youtube channels ’cause he has similar views of Obama as I do. The Doctor tells it like it is

Spoilers… a huge problem for big TV shows & movies? I’d say yes, absolutely!

Leave a comment

It seems that in this day and age of internet technology, spoilers of big TV shows & movies getting leaked all over the place have become quite a problem. It’s hard to avoid spoilers no matter what you do. Even if you don’t read reviews and comments sections before you see the movie, it’s still hard to avoid spoilers ’cause of social networking & blogs.

The reason it’s hard to avoid spoilers and people are posting them everywhere is ’cause people are always discussing the story of the TV show or movie without spoiler warnings. Another reason it’s hard to avoid spoilers ’cause there are loser trolls out there that would post spoilers just to piss you off for fun. It’s mostly the trolls is the problem ’cause they are always posting spoilers just to piss people off.

While there is no way we can avoid spoilers since the internet is so big & wide, it is really sad though and we shouldn’t have to deal with this at all. There’s really nothing you can do about it.

Stuff like this usually happens when the big TV shows and huge movies comes out. TV shows like “The Walking Dead” and “Game of Thrones”. When it comes to movies, it usually happens with the big superhero movies like “The Avengers” and things like that. It happens with “Star Wars” too.

Spoilers are very hard to avoid these days. I hear people though ’cause no one likes knowing what happens before they haven’t even seen it.

People who enjoy posting spoilers just to piss people off for fun should feel ashamed of themselves though. People like that are pretty much losers with no lives anyway.

I’ve just seen “The Force Awakens” today and about to post a “non-spoiler” review later.

Here’s to all those who are not afraid to post controversial shit!

As you can tell by now, I’m not afraid to post controversial stuff. I’m not afraid to speak my mind and not afraid to tell the truth no matter the consequences. That’s how I’ve always been.

As a matter of fact, I can never tell if the stuff I post is controversial. I just try to keep my stuff as realistic as possible. I try not to be political correct on things at all. I just post common sense and post the truth.  I view my stuff that I post as positive and informative. I never look at it as “controversial”. If people wanna call me a “controversial” and “outspoken” person then I must be doing something right.

In this day and age, if you post controversial stuff… you are immediately labeled as a bad person. It’s quite pathetic, ya know? People who are brave enough to post things that no one else would should be given all the credit and kudos but instead they get treated as if they’re bad guys or “trolls”.

I’ve been dealing with this shit for years.

Maybe this is part of why I have so many wonderful supporters of mine ’cause they admire the fact that I’m not afraid to speak my mind no matter what happens.

I know there are others who are not afraid to post “controversial” stuff and get their truth out there so kudos to them.

When they say that the “truth is the new hate speech” is really true if you think about it. It really is crazy how people get offended at everything. I’m not afraid to put myself in hot water and get the truth out. I’m not afraid to tell the truth even if it will get me in trouble.

I’m just one of those guys that if I have something on my mind, it’s gonna get said ’cause I don’t hide my honest feelings on things like a lot of people do.

I have grown an audience of both supporters & haters. To the haters that just follow me will never admit that they enjoy what I write online. That’s why they continue to read and follow me ’cause they’re addicted to what I do.

Honest people are always looked at as “controversial” and “outspoken”. It shouldn’t be this way but it is what it is ’cause people are weird and crazy, ya know?

I just keep things real and that’s all I’m about, yo.

Media being politically correct on Scott Weiland death, why are they calling it “accidental overdose”???

Leave a comment

Some media outlets, mostly the ones with the liberal bias are calling Scott Weiland’s death “accidental overdose”. Um, really? The way I’m looking at it, there is really no such thing as “accidental overdose”. You give yourself drugs and damage your body, you are doing that to yourself so it definitely was no accident at all. I think the media calls it “accidental” as a way to be friendly and try not to be “offensive” by calling it just an “overdose”.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/18/entertainment/scott-weiland-cause-of-death-feat/index.html

This is just one of the million reasons why I hate the mainstream media ’cause they get politically correct on everything.

Liberals finally waking up on the Democrat party now that this happened???

Leave a comment

Maybe liberals aren’t one-sided people after all ’cause it seems they have turned their back on the Democrat party after this happened.

I’m not a Bernie Sanders fan at all but I do agree that this is unfair for him and I always knew that the DNC are all about Hillary Clinton. The DNC didn’t have to suspend his campaign at all.  They did it to protect Hillary obviously. Hillary is trying to find a way to take Bernie out of the election. She’s obviously scared of him ’cause he’s doing well in the polls and he’s getting all of this popularity.

It’s nice to see that a lot of liberals hate Hillary ’cause I’m seeing a lot of them trash talking her like crazy which is cool to see, really.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/18/politics/bernie-sanders-campaign-dnc-suspension/

Still though, there are still some dumb liberals that support Hillary and thinks she would be a great president but most liberals hating on Hillary is a good start, though.

If we can unite, stop all the political correctness bullshit… us and the liberals can defeat Hillary together. Think about it, right?

Steve Vai’s “Bo” guitar found and returned…

Leave a comment

Earlier this week, the iconic shred guitarist Steve Vai had one of his famous guitars stolen at a benefit concert in Los Angeles. The guitar’s name is “Bo” which is a mirrored guitar and the fretboard has blue lights on it.

Well, the guitar disappeared from outside the venue and Steve tries to get it back by using the power of social networking.

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/steve-vai-guitar-stolen/

Well look like the power of social networking worked ’cause Steve got the “Bo” guitar back.

The guitar was found inside the bushes at the gates of Steve’s home. Nobody has any idea of how it got there but my guess is that the thief or thieves who took it, felt bad for taking it and returned it to him. They felt guilty about it probably and realized it was a bad idea to take one of Steve’s special guitars.

I believe the “Bo” guitar is one of Steve’s customs guitars, a guitar that he probably designed himself. It’s a special guitar so it is probably pretty important for him.

Glad he got it back. Bands getting their gear stolen whether local or famous has been happening more and more. Well, that’s what they get when they have loads and loads of expensive musical gear and they probably leave that stuff unattended… that’ll do nothing but attract thieves. This is why bands shouldn’t show off what gear they use for their live shows.

Video: First teaser for “Twin Peaks” revival is released…

Leave a comment

I’m thinking they’re gonna keep releasing a bunch of short teasers until the full trailer is out. The full trailer will be out soon and can’t wait. I love this show.

Like usual David Lynch is full of weird mysteries ’cause that guy’s mind is a little messed up but he’s a genius, no doubt.

There’s still a lot of unexplained things about Laura’s death and I’m sure all will be revealed in the new season.

Video: Watch Michael C. Hall perform a cover of David Bowie’s new song, “Lazarus” on Stephen Colbert…

Leave a comment

So Dexter sings too, huh? Well, I didn’t know that. I knew Michael C. Hall is just an actor but I guess he’s more than just that. He’s got musical talent too, I see.

I thought Michael did a killer job and he sings really good too.

So why did Michael sing this song instead of Bowie the man himself?

The reason Michael sang this song is ’cause he is about to perform in an off-Broadway musical that will be directed by David Bowie in NYC.

http://variety.com/2015/legit/news/michael-c-hall-lazarus-david-bowie-1201526292/

They also did this as a way to help promote the new David Bowie album, “Blackstar”.

Michael is not just a TV actor, he is also a theater actor too so I’m sure he played in some musicals in the past before, though.

Michael’s a great singer too and I think he should make an album of his own sometime.
