—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—
November 3, 2017, Marvel Entertainment released the third installment of the Thor series, Thor: Ragnarok. This film in the Thor saga follows our hero as he attempts to prevent the all-powerful Goddess of Death, Hela, (Cate Blanchett), from destroying his kingdom of Asgard.
THE GOOD:
Gerry Conway Sees GUARDIANS
by Gerry Conway
Finally had a chance to watch the Russian superhero film “Guardians,” and, wow.
It isn’t very good, but it isn’t very bad either.
It’s like a superhero movie made by people who kinda know what a superhero movie is “supposed” to look like but aren’t quite clear about why.
John Ostrander: The Bourne Formula
by John Ostrander
NOTE FROM LB: Some of you may read this as a film review. But if you look upon John’s words here as a writing lesson, well, you and your readers and viewers will be mighty glad:
Spoiler note: Various plot elements of the Bourne movies may be revealed below. The movies have been out for a while so I’m assuming those who want to see them have seen them. Nevertheless, the spoiler flag is flying just in case.
Doug Snauffer’s Short Takes: WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES
by Douglas Snauffer
Saw WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES last weekend — and loved it.
Although, as I sat there watching the movie for 2 hours and 20 minutes, I had to doubt its appeal to today’s younger crowd (ages 18-25).
WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES is a writer’s delight in that it’s totally character-driven. Dialog matters in this film – a lot – while the action scenes this time around are extremely limited right up to and including the end.
