Movie Log 🍿 - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, 2016 - ★★★
The first half is mostly forgettable but the last hour is pretty awesome!

Sunday family movie. Still firmly in my top Disney animated films!
The sweeping score and cheesy lines are pretty heavy-handed and cringy. I think this shows that Michael Bay isn’t quite cut out to deliver on a sappy love story.
As a period piece and one that showcases one of the United States darkest times in history, I think it delivers pretty successfully!
The action really kicks in in a big way about an hour and 40 minutes in and doesn’t really let up until the close of the film.
Despite what most people say about it, I’ve got a soft spot for this film.
There are SO many things about this movie that are utterly ridiculous. But I’ll be darned if it isn’t a riveting and heartwarming story!
at 2 ½ hours, it seems like it shouldn’t work as well as it does. I think it’s extremely well cut together, and everything about the story and character development moves along at a pretty brisk pace.
This might be one of my favorite Michael Bay movies.
It’s been years since I saw this and was hoping my feelings on it would change.
They haven’t. 😒
I just got The Platform for my Moonlander mechanical keyboard. ⌨️😊
I think this is Kevin Smith‘s strongest writing to date in his career. He really seemed to have a strong story to tell that showed genuine heart.
Jason Lee really steps up his game from MALLRATS in this one too.
It’s hard for me to imagine a more worthwhile cause and your support would mean SO much to me but more importantly, to the children patients at St. Jude who are battling cancer.
Please consider a donation of any amount! Your donations will help support the life-saving work at St. Jude to treat children with cancer.
My goal is to raise $300 by the end of September.
Check if your employer does charity donation matching — at no additional cost to you!

This may be the most 90’s movie I can think of but it accomplishes what it sets out to be flawlessly.
Jason Lee is terrific in his role.
One of the appeals to me about a Kevin Smith movie is the numerous pop-culture references.
This movie also has one of the most incredible Stan Lee cameos, of which he has many in the MCU.
Yep, still love it!
This is pretty good but I was a little disappointed. I’ve heard so many good things about this movie and even without seeing the trailer, I had higher expectations going into it.
It’s been about eight years since I’ve seen this last and I’ve gotta say, it’s better than I remembered! This scratched is a lot of my itches and is one of those stunningly beautiful and exciting sci-fi stories on par with OBLIVION for me.
With 9 years having past, Matt Damon has aged quite a bit since the last Bourne movie. So has the technology, but that’s for the better.
The car chase scene through Las Vegas is bananas and the final showdown between Bourne and his adversary is brutal!
This has a few great casting additions in Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel, and Riz Ahmed.
The first 30 minutes are super exciting!
The story was way easier to follow than the previous two movies and still worked in plenty of intrigue.
This was filmed just prior to the release of the iPhone in 2007 and it’s hilarious to see how terrible the technology is in a spy movie like this.
It’s pretty impressive to see the global reach this movie has with their set locations. Maybe even more so than a James Bond movie.
The car chase and destruction in the streets of New York are unlike anything we’ve seen in the franchise so far.
That score really sticks with ya, too — love it!
I think this one is better than ‘THE BOURNE IDENTITY’ but not by much. There’s a pretty great car chase leading into the finale of the movie.
