Destroyer. Not a fan of the whole 'it's so brave for someone pretty to not be pretty' trope, but there was a trick to the story that if you talk about it, then it kind of gets spoiled. Only marginally worth watching a movie about shitty people to see the trick.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Jack Ryan: Shadow something or other, dull cliche ridden action film. Kenneth Brannagh made a better baddie than I expected, but a worse director.

Oasis: Supersonic, a really rather good rockumentary, Liam Gallagher is an arse.

A very old, very campy live movie version of Snow White, Schneewittchen (1970)

Ultimate camp production; they actually showed the gruesome ending.

The acting is hilariously over-the-top. (Snow White is Alive????? The Queen stands in front of the mirror: NO... (shakes her head angrily) OH NO)

The Queen walks into a room where Snow White and the Prince are dancing and glares at Snow White. Snow White backs off in terror.

The Prince walks behind the Queen as a servant drops a pair of red shoes that had been heated up in the fireplace with a pair of tongues (the Queen notices none of this because she just stands there and glares at Snow White doing nothing).

The Prince grabs the Queen firmly and forcefully bends her slightly towards the burning shoes on the floor.

"PUT ON THE SHOES!" he says coldly to her.

And then the Queen steps out of her shoes and just puts on the red shoes for some reason (mind control?). As soon as one of her feet gets into the shoes she starts screaming out in complete agony but she nevertheless puts on the other shoe as well, continues screaming*

The Queen screams and screams as she's thrown around by the guests at the party, then she falls over and dies/passes out.

Cue to out of place 1970s jazz music...

The Prince walks up to Snow White and says:

"The Queen will no longer be a threat to you. You are under my protection now."

Snow White: "That sounds wonderful." (smiles)

THE END

Han Solo

Honestly I expected it to be worse. Not the greatest movie to be sure, but I've never been heavily invested in the Star Wars Universe so I didn't have high expectations going into it.
Worst part was easily the fan service, and the action sequences were, typically, pretty decent.

Solid 7/10 purely for entertainment factor.

Gangster No. 1, great cast, and I like it much more than Guy Ritchie British gangster films, but it does wobble a bit in the third act.

Latest movie watched was also Solo, Though I liked the movie. A lot.

We watched Black Robe in class last week. It was good. The last movie I watched by choice was Watchmen. It was also pretty good, and certainly very unique.
