Ok so it's not another Empire Strikes Back but it makes up for the prequels. A good part fanservice homage to the original – if overly reliant on rehashing elements from Star Wars – this also does many things right and feels a welcome return to the sort of adventure we kept wanting George Lucas to resdiscover

The finale of the saga comes with a tough, gritty edge during the middle scenes that make it the best directed of the series. On the other hand, it builds up well only to arrive at ending that goes oddly sideways and throws sympathies to the wind

I'm not one of the haters on this. It's the first Star Wars sequel since the 1980s to invigorate the series with fresh and original action sequences, place more focus on the characters instead of the action, and be unconcerned about slavishy repeating what has gone before

Apr 12, 2019Man Builds a Fantasy Doll Village/True Story
Robert Zemeckis of Back to the Future and Forrest Gump fame makes a film of the true-life story of Mark Hogancamp who recovered from a brutal assault by building a fantasy village of dolls. The results are bizarre where Zemeckis seems more interested in making a Sucker Punch-like fantasy where the dolls come to life
