Stargate SG-1: The Other Guys (2002)
A lot of fun!!!
Great subtle comedic acting and over the top shtick...Coombs and Felger are a great team!!!
Stargate SG-1: Avenger 2.0 (2003)
One less Other Guy...
Avenger 2.0 isn't near as funny or good as The Other Guys episode but it does have some good stuff in it. Patrick McKenna is a great actor from his subtle mannerisms to his over the top shtick. This episode is worth a watch but if you haven't seen the Other Guys check it out...I have watched it multiple times :)
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
Same old stuff from original SW movies.....actually a lot of the same
Looking for new material, character development, acting, dialog, special effects....well, not in The Force Awakens or not much at least but you will get rehash feel of the first movie. It feels like the bad lines from most of the last 3 SW movies. I think we can actually have the best of all worlds on this series. Hire some great writers and use the heck out of ILM. Quit redoing a death star type weapon. Making the fighter scenes look like 1960-70's model special effects is not cool. If you want that look check out the original movie which was good then. I want the space stuff to look like the best our technologies can make - now.
Yes there was some good stuff in Awakens but not near enough for me. The female lead has something there and her scene where she "discovers" the force has some good stuff but we get again an angsty young "I'm confused boo hoo" dark side guy - come on, the dark side can't find an evil bad guy that can tap into the Force - there have to be a few out there. The dark side is doomed they can't recruit well at all!!!! And what is up with Luke, all powerful jedi but he couldn't (or didn't want to) tap into the Force and feel "hey my buddies are in trouble" and go and help? Nice to see that Gollum got another gig though...the head dark side guy - actually he sucked too.
Anyway, I wish James Gunn would have done this new try at Star Wars. Guardians of the Galaxy was very much more entertaining to me!!!! Great writing and special effects - go figure that's novel. If I really like a movie I will go back and see them - sometimes many times on the big screen before they are released to DVD..... but not this one.
The Last Survivors (2014)
The Last "Resource" Survivors......
I enjoyed this movie on a few levels. The young lead did a great job in her acting (a lot of it non verbal) and action - that shotgun seemed a part of her at times. One thing I didn't like was (and this happens in a lot of movies) when our lead actor takes out some bad guys she always left their weapons with them - a thing that bugs me especially when resources are short. Anyway, in this age of a ton of lousy first to video movies, this one set itself apart by actually having some decent action, acting, writing and photography - stark but beautiful. A movie that I can tell the actors and producers put a lot of effort into. Hopefully it will make enough money to increase the production funds for these young movie makers to make some more and even better movies - we sure need them. Signed, Thirsty For More!
