    Journey to Star Wars The Force Awakens Lost Stars

    51LjaHPiwPL Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Lost Stars

    This thrilling Young Adult novel gives readers a macro view of some of the most important events in the Star Wars universe, from the rise of the Rebellion to the fall of the Empire. Readers will experience these major moments through the eyes of two childhood friends–Ciena Ree and Thane Kyrell–who have grown up to become an Imperial officer and a Rebel pilot. Now on opposite sides of the war, will these two star-crossed lovers reunite, or will duty tear them–and the galaxy–apart? Star Wars: Lost Stars also includes all-new post- Star Wars: Return of the Jedi content, as well as hints and clues about the upcoming film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, making this a must-read for all Star Wars fans.

    What if the Star Wars books didn’t have to slavishly follow the Skywalkers? There’s now been two movies with this in mind, but this book came out well before either of them were being marketed. There’s a solid storyline here if you look past the fact that all these people were joining up with the Imperial Navy despite the horrors and evil that were apparent, which was something that completely rubbed me the wrong way. It wasn’t until the last third of the book that I felt comfortable with how the Imperial characters were acting or reacting to events around them and it sets up a nice battle that’s hinted at in The Force Awakens movie.

    This was a good book that I had issues with and it took me nearly two months to get through, I just didn’t feel like there was much there to keep me hooked.

    Memory and math and visual tracking games. I enjoyed playing this in ye olden days of the xbox 360, so I figured i’d give it a go on the xbox one.

    It did not age well at all.

    Wes Cravens New Nightmare

    MV5BZjMzNzQwNmQtMTdhOC00MzVlLThlZmEtNTIwYmQyMjJkMjExXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTQxNzMzNDI@. V1 Wes Cravens New Nightmare

    This time staying awake won’t save you… The horrifying child killer returns, stepping out of his celluloid world to haunt the life of the actress who first defeated him on film.

    Movie opens with them saying “it’s only make believe”, which is the most incorrect thing that can be made in a Freddy film. Heather Langenkamp returns as the same girl from the first and third Nightmare films and her eyes are still uncannily blue. There’s a major shift in tone from the previous films, as this isn’t an action horror comedy, this is more of a psychological horror film. With this change of tone is a different type of soundtrack, much more orchestral and emotional and less campy fun.

    There’s a few cool moments (the transition towards the end from reality to the movie was absolutely amazing) and some great acting. Of the original Nightmare films, I think this is the second best one, only behind the original.

    Peppermint

    718MDX91hEL. SL1500 796x1024 Peppermint

    Young mother Riley North (Garner) awakens from a coma after her husband and daughter are killed in a brutal attack on the family. When the system frustratingly shields the murderers from justice, Riley sets out to transform herself from citizen to urban guerilla. Channeling her frustration into personal motivation, she spends years in hiding honing her mind, body and spirit to become an unstoppable force – eluding the underworld, the LAPD and the FBI – as she methodically delivers her personal brand of justice. From the director of Taken, this film is being hailed by critics as “a total adrenaline rush from start to finish!” (Dave Morales, Fox TV Houston).

    I could not figure out why they named this film “Peppermint”. Did I miss someone’s name or maybe their favorite candy? This was a normal revenge violence flick, ala The Punisher, Payback, Taken, Death Wish, etc.  It was ok. Not really all that interesting and I have a few complaints about people shoving guns into their pants right after shooting them, but my biggest complaint is that the main bad guy looked like one of the actors from super troopers:

    Hard to take him seriously when I was expecting him to chuck a whole thing of maple syrup at any moment.

    A Star Is Born 1937

    81W fERNKNL. RI SX300 A Star Is Born (1937)

    A young actress arrives in Hollywood to become a star. After many disappointments, she meets an older, alcoholic actor who takes her under his wing and they fall in love. She will have to choose between pursuing her dream and looking after him. From British Pathé TV’s Classic Movie Collection.

    The movie that started a craze! The first of now four versions of the same plot! Of the two versions I’ve seen so far, this is the better of the two. There’s still the same story beats, but it really follows her more than it does him (as in the 80’s version), and it’s about a movie star and not a musician.

    Enjoyable!
