When I finally watched interstellar completing the trilogy of films that everyone freaks out when I say that I haven't seen them, that is to say Blade Runner, 2049 Ex Machina and Interstellar. There's nothing wrong with these films. There's no reason that I didn't see them immediately. But perhaps that they are all well over two hours. However, well over two hours spent with the fantastic plot of Interstellar is two hours of good time, three hours even. Fantastic story about a world falling apart and Matthew McConaughey attempting to save it, or perhaps escape it. Are they attempting to colonize other worlds? Or are they attempting to come back to Earth and save the people by escaping the disaster environmental disaster that has become our beautiful planet? A wonderfully thoughtful and beautifully directed film with perfect special effects. Interstellar despite its three hour length is pretty much a must see. Again, like Ex Machina one of the few films of recent memory that I would actually rewatch and I believe thoroughly enjoy the details. And the sentiment, as well as the brilliant character played by Matt Damon. I'd heard that he didn't want to do too many space films becoming typecast as the space film guy with the Martian and Interstellar but with fantastic scripts like these, it may as well become the space film guy. He was also in Elysium, another kind of space film, but not nearly as good as Interstellar, a great film along with Ex Machina, that I believe will become a classic rewatched and thought about for years a modern 2001 A Space Odyssey. I hope you'll enjoy Interstellar.

I went out to the theaters to see Spider Man into the spider verse too. And there's one thing I didn't know about it that perhaps if I had known about it in the beginning, I would have been able to judge it less harshly and enjoy it more. Spider verse two is part two of what they now are going to call the spider verse trilogy. That is to say it's a lot more like Empire Strikes Back is the first part of a two part movie. So I really don't know that I can review it that well, or say too much about it and the plot and the story, but when I can say is the into the spider verse to like spider verse one is incredibly beautiful. Each of the world has their own graphic art style, which is lovingly applied by the animators reminding us that there can be movies in more than just generic Disney Animation, or generic Pixar Animation, that there are many options when it comes to animation and they're all about the same price. Although some of these do use expensive computer animation to make it look like paper or our oil painting, or animated pencil animation. The film is full of fun references to other Spider Man films, Spider Man comic strips and even internet Spider Man rumors about Donald Glover becoming Miles Morales. The plot hums along and it's slowly develops who the main villain would be. At first it's hard to tell. It also develops the relationship between Spider Gwen and the main character. Not my littles blouse, the other Spider Man. Anyway, there's a lot of spider man and there's a lot of spider man in this film. I wish there would have been more spider pig and his excellent humor. I'm curious to see where the series goes in the third installment, which I assume will unite perfectly with the second film like Empire with Return of the Jedi. And at that time, perhaps I'll be able to better understand if it was great or not. But yes, it makes a big difference knowing that it's part two of three and that there will be no ending giant cliffhanger. Until next time

And I also took a long time to see Ex Machina. But whenever you can see it, that's the best time to see it. Ex Machina is a brilliant and fascinating picture about artificial intelligence and what it could do to us. It moves slowly and thoughtfully leaving the viewer wondering which direction it will go. Obviously dystopian and Black Mirror ask. The viewer is in constant fear for all of the characters, a fear that turns out perhaps to be real, brilliantly directed, brilliant special effects, a thoughtful clusion and a rare film of recent years. That I would actually consider watching again, and then be completely enraptured. Seeing it in a completely different manner, with all the questions being answered, And then wondering how well it fits together. When you think about it. Backwards. Probably pretty well. An excellent film, a good use of time. Despite its incredible length. I very much enjoyed Ex Machina.
