STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE
ACTION/FANTASY
PLOT: The prequel to the most popular franchise in
the world Star Wars: A New Hope.
“We can be heroes”
sings the late David Bowie and this is the film that proves it. It tells how Princess Leia got the plans for
the Death Star. The movie has different
nationalities and robots trying to save people from the evil Darth Vader and
Grand Tarkin. There are many Star Wars
references. The film is made for Star
Wars fans. It has action, humor and
heart. It is directed by Gareth Edwards,
the same director who did Godzilla 2014.
He did an excellent job on this film.
Godzilla was good but it wasn’t this!
It is an amazing addition to the Star Wars movies.
HACKSAW RIDGE
HISTORICAL DRAMA
PLOT: The incredible true story of WWII Army Medic
Desmond T. Doss who refused to kill people won The Medal of Honor.
Desmond T. Doss
(Andrew Garfield, Amazing Spiderman) who believes in God and loved his country
he went to war in WWII but never killed the enemy but saved his fellow soldiers. I have never seen a movie about war and faith
in God in the same film in a long time.
The acting which including Garfiled, Hugo Weaving, Rachel Griffiths,
Teresa Palmer and Vince Vaughn are nothing short of brilliant. The battle scenes are violent to show how bad
war truly is. It is an Oscar contender
for sure. Mel Gibson directed it and
Hollywood doesn’t like Gibson right now but the actor is many things but he can
sure direct!
BASTILLE DAY aka THE TAKE
ACTION/THRILLER
PLOT: An unpredictable CIA agent and a pick pocket
to stop a terrorist group.
Sean (Idris Elba),
a CIA agent and Michael (Richard Madden), a thief unwillingly join forces to
stop terrorists on Bastille Day which is like our Independence Day in Paris. The movie has plenty of action and a buddy
flick. Idris Elba is great as a loose cannon operative who is usually right.
The film was cancelled in France because of the real attacks. It is a pity for it is very good if you like
action-packed movies.
