Classic Movie Review #1 – Taxi Driver

This week I had the chance to watch one of the greatest movies of all time and a classic movie in pop culture. Taxi Driver. The movie was really chilling with the story focusing on a ex-marine who becomes a taxi driver because of his insomnia. His loneliness and mental illness sends him down a dark path towards destruction which makes for a terrific character arc. Robert DeNiro played the part perfectly exemplifying one of the greatest acting performances I’ve ever seen. I was blown away watching DeNiro on screen and I still  have the line “You talking to me?” stuck in my head. The movie is very confusing, but if you understand the dark concepts in the movie, it’s an incredible movie experience.

Star Wars Movie Review–spoiler warning

Over Winter break I had the great pleasure in seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. To sum it up the movie was quite spectacular. Cinematography was amazing, storyline was amazing. The only problem people had with the movie was the portrayal of Luke Skywalker in the movie. Many didn’t like how he grew cynical of the Jedi and was pessimistic about the Rebellion. Even the actor disagreed with the directors vision. (Spoilers!!) Fans also didn’t enjoy the death of the original protagonist Luke Skywalker. I personally felt it wasn’t the best, but I still enjoyed the movie. The character development of Ben Solo a.k.a Kylo Ren is incredible. He has ties to the light side, but the dark side in him is blocking the good which intrigues me. Throughout the movie the good in him lets him do the right thing in crucial parts (not killing Leia and killing supreme leader snoke). Overall the movie was a terrific time in theaters that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
