Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
Most Disappointing Movie Ever - So Lame!
Truly a JJ Abrams Star Wars. Good God almighty when I saw the final trailer I thought there might be hope. Went into the theatre hoping for the best. I have love for all 6 Star Wars Movies with possibly my favorite being the Phantom Menace; truly a great majestic piece of storytelling.
So the opening scrawl is promising; it's about Luke, etc. Turns out to be a McGuffin. Klyo Ren? Think of the Sith Lords of the past films; Darth Maul, Christopher Lee, Darth Vader. All serious men. Then this atrocity. This man wears a mask, not because he has to, but basically because it's a cool imposing thing to have on.
This is truly the most depressing movie ever. There's no Lucas. No storytelling. No Force. Nothing from the previous films.
"Hey it's cool to have a stormtrooper pick up this weapon." "Hey this is what the fans want. The Big Bang loving group that have been BRAINWASHED to say Episode 1 Sucks, etc. etc.
God how truly truly sad.
A movie that doesn't take any of the previous installments seriously and thinks it has to be self-referential, "meta", and has NO sense of the previous films.
Made by a machine (Disney) and a hack who wouldn't take Star Wars seriously.
I only hope Lucas's original vision someday comes to light; in a written form or something. I'm POSIITIVE he never imagined this ATROCITY.

The Best Schoolgirl turns Prostitute Turns Hitwoman Movie Ever!
It's definitely the best story I've ever seen about a girl who wants better grades and then becomes a prostitute and then becomes an assassin. Part of the excellent "Welcome to the Grindhouse" series complete with trailers for other good trash. This movie also contains the ODDEST music cues ever; one was used on the old SCTV and they also use the song that became "The People's Court" theme. Bad acting, unbelievable plotting make this is a "MUST OWN" for connoisseurs of bad cinema. The DVD is paired with "Trip with the Teacher" another grade Z champion seemingly "inspired" by "Last House on the Left." The entire "Welcome to the Grindhouse" is essential DVD.
