I Watched STAR WARS: RISE OF SKYWALKER Three Times. Here's What Happened

Gambar
Find out what happened when I watched Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker  three times. This started out as a fairly straightforward review of the latest Star Wars movie. But it turned into something else after I watched it again. And something more when I watched it for the third time. So here's my breakdown of all my thoughts after each viewing. SPOILER WARNING First Watch of  Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker Rating: 2 1/2 out of 5 stars I absolutely love Star Wars . I love Star Wars so much I made an exhaustive (now outdated) chart about all the changes to the movies. I've watched them too many times to count. So the movie that would supposedly end the decades-long series captured my imagination. I like  Force Awakens , I'm not a hater of The Last Jedi , but I hate Solo . So you could call me a diehard Star Wars fan and an avid moviegoer. Walking into the theater Rotten Tomatoes score was fresh in my mind. I saw tweets of critics and comments from others trashing the movi...

Review: "STAR TREK: Body by Starfleet" Helps You Exercise Like a Klingon

Gambar
Is " STAR TREK: Body by Starfleet " worth buying? The uniforms of Star Trek: The Next Generation are unforgiving. Made out of spandex the crew had to maintain a strict exercise regimen to stay in shape. The only time we really know what kind of exercises they do was in the 1989 episode "The Price" which showed Counselor Troi (Marina Sirtis) and Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) doing stretches. Not much to go on. So what's a new Starfleet cadet to do? I got a copy of the new fitness book by Robb Pearlman and it's a fun way to get in shape. Watch the book trailer below. Here's the official book description "A fully illustrated guide that bridges the nexus between stasis and health, Star Trek: Body by Starfleet provides real, practical, and fun exercises for Star Trek fans of all ages and physical abilities so that they may boldly live long and prosper. "Drawing from the most celebrated and iconic elements of over 50 years of Star Trek, Body by Starf...

Review: GEMINI MAN (2019) Is Faker Than Will Smith

Gambar
Gemini Man (2019) - Henry Brogan (Will Smith) Read this review to find out if Gemini Man  (2019) is worth watching. Gemini Man has grand ambitions to be a psychological action-thriller but it falls flat. Ang Lee and Will Smith try hard to combine a rip-roaring action film with a psychological thriller. But they miss the mark. Will Smith's latest action movie is the story of Henry Brogan (Will Smith) who's an elite government assassin. He's frequently called the "best" in the world. The opening scene shows him shooting a target from miles away through the window of a moving bullet train. Clearly, the guy is amazing but if you haven't had any experience shooting you have to take the movie's word for it. I know I haven't. Brogan announces he's retiring since he hesitated. He says the decades of killing dozens of people is wearing on him. Suddenly he's targeted by a young hit-man hunting him down. Along with a fellow agent named Dani Zakarweski (...
