![]() Aliens 10/10. Flawless, a masterpiece of sci-fi action. Takes what worked about the first one and ramps everything up to 11. They keep the aliens scary, while still showing much more than the first film, especially the end battle where you really get to see the queen in all her terrifying glory. Amazing costumes and puppetry too, really sells the aliens. BTW, we watched the extended special edition, which is significantly better than the theatrical version, so that might explain why some people may disagree whether this one is better than the original Alien. Also, I recall seeing a tv version once, and I think that one was much shorter, and felt like they skipped major chunks of the movie. Like being surprised that they basically skipped straight from the middle of the film straight to the final battle. |

![]() Midway. 7.5/10. Good film, I really enjoyed it. I think you'll enjoy it especially if you already know alot about the events of Pearl Harbor -> Midway. If you're not up to speed with your history, there's alot that may be less meaningful, lots of characters and events that aren't fully fleshed-out. Movie feels a bit like random smatterings of scenes, sortof a 2 hour Midway-montage. Great performances by tons of great actors. Reasonably well-done special effects, many scenes really give you a sense of the kind of space and tactics that air & sea battles take place. This could have worked better as a streaming mini-series though. Lots of parts of the story could have been fleshed out better. For example, they make a big deal about the Yorktown being repaired in record time from Pearl Harbor, but they don't really circle back and emphasize it's major role in the battle(s) at Midway, or the fact that it gets destroyed like 5 times and keeps on going. This kind of setup and payoff could have been really great in a longer format. There's lots of story beats that feel like missed-opportunities like that.

![]() My biggest gripe was that their explanation of not participating in previous conflicts was that they were not allowed to and then routinely you see them interfering with humans in multiple times during the 7000 year history. ![]() Anyways I will finish it for sure today maybe but didn’t get off to a good start lol. |

![]() Karate Kid 3. 6.7/10. First time viewing, had to watch since Cobra Kai ties into it. Very interesting to see how crazy Terry Silver's character was. Actually I think this movie is well worth watching AFTER Cobra Kai. By itself it's not a good movie. Danny Larusso is insufferable and obnoxious, Mr. Miagi's behavior doesn't make any sense, and the way the film handles the final battle at the tournament was terrible. |

![]() They Shall Not Grow Old Peter Jackson's WWI documentary. Really was amazing. Trench warfare was absolutely brutal, and I could not believe we had so much video footage of it. I would say this film is a must watch for any human. |
