O man.. i been hesitating to watch this flick... now u just made me prolong it even more
This movie was very umderwhelming.
I just finished polar. I can't Get enough revenge/payback movies or Hitman thrillers.Saw A Simple Favor in recent weeks. Some interesting twists and turns in that one.
Halfway through Polar so far.
ship duty wasn't too bad considering what department you were in and how well-staffed they were. If you're on port and starboard (2 divisions, 6 or 8 or 12 hours on and then 6 or 8 or 12 hours off, then life sucks for you on board a Navy ship.I couldn't do Ship duty, let alone be a Submariner.
Fuck dat!

I'm off work until the day after my birthday on Wednesday. If y'all know anything good to watch, let me know
Alita: Battle Angel
Is the Alita: Battle Angel film the Manga adaptation fans of the genre have been waiting for ?
PRAISE: This is such a multi layered story, it should be confusing but it's not.I enjoyed each layer and story path for the most part because they made it so interesting.
Rosa Salazar as Alita, the titular cyborg heroine turns in one of the best motion capture performances i have ever seen !
Sure i thought the characters huge eyes would be a distraction but it actually added to her charm,i ended up being completely taking in by her.The action sequences are thrilling and then some.
Christoph Waltz as Dr. Dyson was also quite charming turning in a good performance as Alita's caretaker.
The CGI and 3D is nearly flawless and incredibly immersive.
I praise the writers for not taking some cliched routes.
The characters are so wonderfully detailed and designed it makes me want to go out and track down every model kit and action figure associated with this film.
Very cool cameos !!
PROBLEMS : The acting powers of the talented
Jennifer Connelly as Chiren and
Mahershala Ali and as Vector are only slightly tapped into.
There are some melodramatic moments that should have moved me but i actually smirked and cringed as they played out.
The story is here and there predictable.
There was a third act pay off that i was highly anticipating but it never reached the level i wanted.
If you venture out this week to see this movie go see it in 3D and on the biggest screen possible
I hope the film does well ,because i would love to see Alita and her world on the big screen again.

ROMA
Is director Alfonso Cuarón's,semi-autobiographical tale really one of the best movies of 2018?...well....
PRAISE: I did feel something for the characters and i was fully invested in them.The film is beautifully shot and very entrancing at times .Yalitza Aparicio as Cleodegaria "Cleo" Gutiérrez does a fine job in her first role.
PROBLEMS:IMO this movie is OVERRATED !! Long lingering shots felt like filler to me.I was put off by the multiple long lingering shots of dog feces and urine.There is a historical occurence that happened that i wish the film would have spent more time on.It took 4 viewings for me to finally get through this movie.
Some people have told me i need to see this on the big screen but i know i would have fallen asleep in the theatre.

CAPTAIN MARVEL
Can Captain Marvel remember her past,ally herself with Nick Fury,and give the audience a great origin story?
PRAISE:
Brie Larson as Vers / Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel is not as dry and distant as she was in the trailers.She actually infuses life into the character here and there in the film.
Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull Talos was quite amusing and turns in a good performance.
Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury was good and had good chemistry with Larson.
There are some good moments between Larson and Lashana Lynch as Maria Rambeau and daughter Monica portrayed by Akira Akbar.
Some good mid 90's nostalgia throughout the film.
Goose the cat steals several scenes.
The SFX and action sequences were done well for the most part.
I liked that we get a further peek into the Marvel Cosmic Universe.
PROBLEMS: I felt like Jude Law and Annette Benning were sidelined for most of the movie.The movie is trying to do a lot of things.An origin story,explanation of the war between the Kree and the Skrulls,and a semi fish out of water story,which made the film drag in some spots.
I knew some SJW moments would be in the film because well look at how the film was marketed.I still felt like i was being hit over the head with it at times.
I was not on board for the changes to Marvel canon,and the twist that lead to some unintentional laughable scenes.
The film misses a few oppurtunities to be epic but it loses it's focus at times and some things are written off as a joke.I actually through my hands up and rolled at my eyes at how some things played out.
Kevin Feige wasnt lying when he said Captain Marvel would be the starting point of everything...GEEZ !!
I would say Captain Marvel is above Iron Man 3 and Thor The Dark World not great but OK.

SIDENOTE: I really dislike that some critics are adding to their reviews:To bad if you dont like to see women as the leads in films.
That's not a fact! People just want to see good to great movies they spend their hard earned money on!
Watching this shit right now. Every time I see shit about the bush era. I instantly get angry.
you thought it could not get any worst huh?
