First & foremost #thankyouTAIKAWAITITI, for creating the single greatest episode of television I've watched this year.
Almost every single frame of this episode is expertly shot, and masterfully executed by Waititi & company. The most interesting element of this episode IMO would be the opening prologue. I never thought I'd be able to see this type of scene executed in the Star Wars universe. Bravo Taika, I do hope you come back for Season Two.
Almost every major television series keeps the audience on the edge of their seat anticipating the next week's episode with high curiosity. The Mandalorian took us on an incredible journey over the past 7 weeks, and helped remind long time fans why we love Star Wars in the first place. We are eagerly anticipating new and exciting stories, told with originality, new direction, and embracing the heart of what makes this franchise so amazing.
Bring on Season Two!

After just coming back from a late night showing of Fruitvale Station, I have to say I was thoroughly impressed by the dynamic level of acting and filmmaking that I've just witnessed. Not a very avid fan of Michael B. Jordan, although after seeing him in Chronicle, I had a feeling this would be a movie where he's truly be allowed to shake things up and play a more risky character than what he's used to portraying. The movie is an intense, in your face, edge of your seat ride that keeps you emotionally connected to the characters and as the story progresses at a natural, authentic pace, you can't help feel that the story plays closer to the heart than it does to the screen.
Ryan Coogler is given an exceptional nod for his crafting of the story based on actual events and his unique breakdown of all the individual characters portrayed in the movie. I feel as if he's created his own little slice of "Highland" and placed it inside the 85 minutes that Fruitvale Station steals you away from reality and places you in the life of an ordinary person on an ordinary day.
The story is really what makes the movie so interesting, not knowing exactly what to expect going in, Fruitvale Station introduces viewers to Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan) and his life encompassing the last day of 2008, and the events that follow the next morning. While the film doesn't drag and the action is contained if not for a slight moment, this film is one that will be remembered for generations as the "independent film that stays with you, even after you know what to expect".
Michael B. Jordan is exceptional in his role as Oscar, and I wouldn't be surprised if this movie gets some "Oscar" buzz this upcoming year (pun intended). His portrayal of his character is near flawless and Ryan Coogler's directing/writing skills are also worth an honourable mention. The chemistry and dynamic between these two artists is evident and the film shines brighter than any film I've yet to see this year.
An engrossing story, a message that keeps you in discussions for hours, a fast paced action, a love story, a coming of age tale. Fruitvale Station is all of these things and more, for those still doubting as to whether or not its worth the ticket. Don't let it pass you by, you just might miss something amazing . . .

But you might as well go out with a bang! Saw 3D is without a doubt the perfect conclusion to the long drawn out horror/torture franchise. After Saw 3, fan base has slowly started to decline over the years, but fortunately with the help of Saw VI, and Saw 3D's brilliant director, Kevin Greutert, the saga has come to a brilliant, yet well-deserved ending.
The acting has taken a tremendous leap from the previous films, and the traps . . . Ooh, don't get me started, you have to see it to learn more. FYI, not for the little ones; this movie will make you cringe, wrestle, and writhe with terror for Greutert's display of violence and gore.
Without a doubt, this is Saw's biggest and most daring achievement, but it is one to be admired. Its brought the series up from its metaphorical rut, which would be Saw 3, Saw 4, and Saw 5, but in the end, you will be satisfied. Worth every single penny, and in brain-twisting 3D. Saw 3D, is this year's, Halloween treat to the movies.
