Star Wars

Star Wars is back! And who would not go see it? We did, of course.

 

We took Eve's father. He had not seen any of the Star Wars movies, which I find incomprehensible. I think he is the only person I ever met who has not. Of all movies of all time, Star War and the Godfather are must sees by my calculation, just because they are really good and have to appeal to everybody. Eve's father did not really know what was going on, he said, which is understandable if you have not seen any of the previous six episodes, and was not sure who were the good guys and who were the bad guys (the bad guys have helmets and masks and usually wear black), but he enjoyed it.

 

When the movie started and the words "STAR WARS" flashed on the big screen, the theatre burst out in applause. It rekindled something good about our past. It reminded us that we have heros, and that they are good and worth cheering for.

 

I look forward to the next one. Until then, may the force be with you.

I like The Godfather far better. Don't forget the canoles

I also prefer Godfather, but like the new Star Wars, which I got to see at the Ziegfeld! In these types of movies screen size is everything. I always want more character, less battles, but I don't think that demographic agrees. I can highly recommend: Danish Girl, Brooklyn and Hateful Eight.

I liked the characters early on but not sure I agreed with the evolution of the story and its characters relations over time. I want the characters and the story to take precedent over special effects. Not sure if I see it before it hits the tube.

I saw Star Trek New Year's Day (really that night at 10:30PM) in 3D! Awesome!! At one point you can reach out and touch the pointy end of the spaceship. As to story line, Disney basically repeated the first two movies in terms of plot. I won't give anything else away other than to say it was a great movie. Now on to Hateful Eight in 70mm!

Having seen all the previous star wars movies, looking forward to seeing the newest one.
