Thoughts on Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker

Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker is the ninth film in the Skywalker saga. It is a pretty fun adventure with a few flaws. A lot of questions remain unanswered. I did not leave disappointed this time like The Last Jedi. It was satisfactory for what it gave us. I recommend it to any folks who enjoy Star Wars.

Thoughts on Dolemite

Dolemite is a blaxploitation movie starring Rudy Ray Moore. Having recently seen Dolemite Is My Name, it adds a new dimension to the movie that I did not appreciate before. The movie is entertaining in a way that will delight anyone into the cult or exploitation genres. It has a certain charm to the bizarre script and insane edits. It is certainly worth seeing if you enjoyed Dolemite Is My Name.

Thoughts on Overlord

Overlord is an action horror movie set in WWII, featuring Wyatt Russell, son and apparent clone of Kurt Russell. The action and tension are really woven in nicely to the taut narrative. It seems like a straight forward action movie at first, then takes a turn at the halfway point and becomes a Nazi zombie movie. The movie is really well-paced and is edited in such a way that it is reminiscent of wandering through a theme park haunted house. Other scenes are rife with tension and make the movie a very effective thriller. Check it out if you enjoy the strange, violent, and the lovecraftian.
