#RECAP Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

I actually went to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on Christmas day. And since I finally have access to a (new) computer and the good ol' internet, let's try having a brief review of this film.

Spoiler alert, obviously.

Rogue One tells the story how the Rebel Alliance got their hands on the plans to the Death Star, which showed a huge backdoor vulnerability on the weapon.

Nothing to spoil so far, since this was all alluded to in the original 1977 film's opening crawl right from the start.

So how was the film?

CBR Terminator: The Burning Earth

There was a nuclear war. A few years from now, all this, this whole place, everything, it's gone. Just gone. There were survivors. Here, there. Nobody even knew who started it.

It was the machines.

#Movie NEWS! Frankenstein's Army

Here's a random new movie that caught my eye!

Frankenstein's Army is an upcoming film by director Richard Raaphorst that comes right from the Netherlands (where it's known as Army of Frankenstein).

It takes place in an alternate reality that can only be described as: Wolfenstein in real life.



Looks BAD. ASS. Right up my alley :P

It looks so much like Wolf3D, it even seems to take place in Return to Castle Wolfenstein's castle! And even that lab glimpsed at the end looks like the one from the game, where you first start to see those monster/mutants/experiments gone wrong!

It's pretty safe to say that Hollywood wouldn't be able to make "the real thing" that good. (just look at the movie Doom...)

MR Grave of the Fireflies

It's been a long time since I last reviewed a Studio Ghibli movie!

Here's Louis CK!
Don't criticize the quality. This was filmed "abroad".
