Back to the Future Part III

***Back to the Future Part III*** is a 1990 American science fiction Western comedy film and the third and final installment of the *Back to the Future* trilogy. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis, and stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Mary Steenburgen, Thomas F. Wilson and Lea Thompson. The film continues immediately after *Back to the Future Part II*.

## Plot

In the final chapter, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) obtains a 70-year-old message from the time-traveling Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd), to 1885, in which he informs Marty that he has retired to a small town in the Old West. Marty then finds out that the Doc was murdered shortly after sending the letter. In order to save his friend, Marty will have to travel back in time, disentangle a lovestruck Doc from a local schoolmarm, and repair the DeLorean -- all while avoiding a posse of gunslingers.

## Why It's The Third Time For Time Travelers

1. The film is a well-written, well-directed, and well-balanced piece of an already successful trilogy.
2. An original, creative plot with that went from the sci-fi futuristic plot of the last film into a spaghetti western a la *A Fistful of Dollars*.
3. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, the masterminds of the first and second films, returned to write and direct.
4. Alan Silvestri's beautiful score, in which it was scored back to back with the second film.
5. Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, and newcomer Mary Steenburgen are excellent as well.
6. Excellent composition and scenery.
7. It was a return to the basics, the friendship between Marty and Doc and how each was thrown through time to change not only the future of Hill Valley, but also their own lives and their future choices.
8. The film brilliantly concludes itself and the trilogy it built as a whole.
9. Although on the surface it's a lighthearted comedy about time travel, it's also about what it means to be a man.

## Bad Qualities

1. Some of the 'natural' set pieces of 1885 Hill Valley aren't that good.
2. Douglas Needles does appear from the second film, and still barely has any character development or screentime.
3. In the ending, Doc Brown's younger son Verne directly points at his... *flux capacitor*. Granted, the actor might have wanted to go to the restroom, but still.
4. While Clara was an alright character, she felt a bit too overused. 5. The plot, while being good isn’t as exciting as the first two, and the tone of the film feels like an abrupt change and doesn’t really match the vibe of the previous films,

## Reception

### Critical response

Much like the first two movies, the film still received positive reviews from critics, audience, and fans alike from the first two movie, it had a 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 44 reviews, with an average rating of 6.72/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "*Back to the Future Part III* draws the trilogy to a satisfying close with a simpler, sweeter round of time-travel antics." Metacritic scores a film a 55/100 based on 19 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews", with a 8.3/10 user score rating on the same site.
A Night to Remember

**A Night to Remember** *is a 1958 British historical drama disaster film directed by Roy Ward Baker that was released on July 3, 1958. The film stars Kenneth More as Second Officer Charles Lightoller.*

## Plot

On its maiden voyage in April 1912, the *Titanic* is presented in a highly realistic fashion in this tense British drama. The disaster is portrayed largely from the perspective of the ocean liner's second officer, Charles Lightoller (Kenneth More). Despite numerous warnings about ice, the ship sails on, with Capt. Edward John Smith (Laurence Naismith) keeping it going at a steady pace. When the doomed vessel finally collides with an iceberg, the crew and passengers discover that they lack enough lifeboats and tragedy ensues.

## Why It Rocks

1. While *A Night to Remember* may not be 100% faithful to the true events of the sinking and Walter Lord's novel, it keeps the spirit of the sinking of the *Titanic* event and pays tribute to everyone who died on the *Titanic* while also staying faithful to the novel from 1955.
2. The movie stays true to the fact that the sinking was a tragic accident, just like James Cameron's movie *Titanic*.
3. The acting is pretty solid, especially for the *Titanic* passengers as well.
4. Amazing pacing in the *Titanic* sinking scenes.
5. The soundtrack by William Alwyn was pretty well-done, and the different version of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" was also pretty good as well.
6. Excellent directing by Roy Ward Baker.
7. The cinematography is well-done.
8. Amazing realistic effects that still look impressive today.
9. Most of the characters in the movie are pretty likable, such as Charles Lightoller and Thomas Andrews.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. The *Titanic* at the end of the movie didn't split up, though it's forgivable since the wreck of the *Titanic* wouldn't be found until 1985.

## Reception

### Critical response

The film received widespread critical acclaim. It holds a 100% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 21 reviews with an average score of 8.71/10. It is considered "the best *Titanic* film before *Titanic* (1997)" and "the most accurate of all *Titanic* films" and "the definitive *Titanic* tale", especially for its social realism, reflecting, in the words of one critic, "the overwhelming historical evidence that the class rigidity of 1912, for all its defects, produced a genuine sense of behavioral obligation on the *Titanic* among rich and poor alike; that the greatest number of people aboard faced death or hardship with a stoic and selfless grace that the world has wondered at for most of this century.

## Plot

As winter break begins, a group of sorority sisters, including Jess (Olivia Hussey) and the often inebriated Barb (Margot Kidder), begin to receive anonymous, lascivious phone calls.

A Christmas Story

***A Christmas Story*** is a 1983 American Christmas comedy film directed by Bob Clark, and based on Jean Shepherd's semi-fictional anecdotes in his 1966 book *In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash*, with some elements from his 1971 book *Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories*. A seasonal classic in North America, it is shown numerous times on television, usually on the networks owned by the Turner Broadcasting System. Since 1997, a marathon of the film titled "24 Hours of *A Christmas Story*" has aired annually on TNT and/or TBS, comprising twelve consecutive airings of the film on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day each year.

## Plot

Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), who spends most of his time dodging a bully (Zack Ward) and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a "Red Ryder air rifle." Frequently at odds with his cranky dad (Darren McGavin) but comforted by his doting mother (Melinda Dillon), Ralphie struggles to make it to Christmas Day with his glasses and his hopes intact.

## Why It's A Good Christmas Story

1. It's faithful to the novel the film was based on, *In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash*.
2. Speaking of the novel, Jean Shepherd, the author, not only played the narrator/Adult Ralphie, but he was the co-writer.
3. Peter Billingsley was great as Ralphie Parker.
4. Cool props, such as the leg lamp.
5. Famous lines, such as *Oh, fudge!* and *You'll shoot your eye out!*
6. That hilarious "Triple-dog-dare" scene, where Flick's tongue gets stuck on a frozen flagpole.
7. Another hilarious scene is Ralphie's fantasy on receiving an ***A+++++++++++ (An A undecuple plus)!***

## Bad Qualities

1. The English-speaking Chinese restaurant waiters are racist stereotypes in a PG-rated family movie. In fact, this part could easily offend anyone living in China, or Chinese immigrants in other countries (especially those living in the USA).
2. A lot of mild swearing for a PG movie like, Hell, Goddamn, Ass/Smartass and Bitch notably in the scene where Ralphie beats up the bully.
	* This is likely due to the PG-13 rating not being introduced yet for another year, despite this, the film got to keep its PG rating due to being released before PG-13's introduction.
3. Overuse of crying scenes.
4. The poster really spoils the Christmas Day scene where it shows that Ralphie has the bunny suit and the "Red Ryder air rifle"!

## Trivia

* Because of the film's success, merchandise and items inspired by the movie are sold at Christmas time such as boxes of fudge that reference the "Oh fudge!" quote and a card game based on the film.

12 Years a Slave

***12 Years a Slave*** is a 2013 period drama film and an adaptation of the 1853 slave narrative memoir *Twelve Years a Slave* by Solomon Northup, a New York State-born free African-American man who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C. by two conmen in 1841 and sold into slavery. Northup was put to work on plantations in the state of Louisiana for 12 years before being released.

The film won three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress for Nyong'o, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Ridley.

## Plot

In the years before the Civil War, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man from upstate New York, is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the South. Subjected to the cruelty of one malevolent owner (Michael Fassbender), he also finds unexpected kindness from another, as he struggles continually to survive and maintain some of his dignity. Then in the 12th year of the disheartening ordeal, a chance meeting with an abolitionist from Canada changes Solomon's life forever.

## Why It Escapes From Slavery

1. It gives us a brutally honest depiction of what American slavery was like to point where you start to hate yourself as a human being for the cruel ways that people used to be back in those days.
2. The story is both depressing and up-lifting.
3. Great casting.
4. Great performances done by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong'o, Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and Benedict Cumberbatch.
5. The torture scenes are very well depicted and are really unsettling and tear-jerking scenes.
6. The ending where Solomon reunites with his family and shedding tears of relief and joy.
7. Nice direction by Steve McQueen.

## Reception

Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 95% of critics gave the film a positive rating, based on 374 reviews, with an average score of 8.90/10. The site's consensus states, "It's far from comfortable viewing, but *12 Years a Slave'*s unflinchingly brutal look at American slavery is also brilliant – and quite possibly essential – cinema." Metacritic, another review aggregator, assigned the film a weighted average score of 96 out of 100 based on 57 reviews from mainstream critics, indicating "universal acclaim". It is currently one of the site's highest-rated films, as well as the best-reviewed film of 2013. CinemaScore reported that audiences gave the film an "A" grade

## Why It Rocks

1. It helped start the Universal monsters series.

6. There's no music, which only helps aid the creepy atmosphere.

Dinosaur

**Dinosaur** is a 2000 computer animated adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation as their 39th animated feature. It stars the voices of D.B. Sweeney, Julianna Marguilies, Samuel E. Wright, and Hayden Panettiere.

## Good Qualities

1. Incredibly realistic and spectacular CGI animation, especially for 2000 that still holds up to this day.
2. The voice actors do an excellent job voicing their characters, such as D.B. Sweeney as Aladar, Sam Wright (voice of Sebastian from *The Little Mermaid*) as Kron, Hayden Panettiere (who voiced Dot from *A Bug's Life*) as Suri, and Julianna Margulies as Neera.
3. The photorealistic live action backgrounds are beautiful.
4. Incredible soundtrack by James Newton Howard.
5. Much of the characters are likable, especially Aladar, Neera, and Seri.
6. The scenery is wonderful and stunning.
7. Awesome opening sequence.
8. The story it has, while it can be a bit predictable at times, is pretty good.
9. The designs on the dinosaurs are impressive.
10. Baby Aladar is cute.
11. It stood out as Disney's first animated film with animated characters in live action backgrounds, which was so awesome it is definitely something the studio should do more often.

## Bad Qualities

1. Url, while likable, can be pointless and somewhat out-of-place for a serious movie like this. And speaking of Url, why does he act like a dog while the other dinosaurs act more like people?
	* On top of that, Url's personality seems to be a ripoff of Dino from *The Flintstones*.
2. The Carnotaurs can be rather frightening for a kids' movie.
3. The story, while not bad, can be somewhat boring and a bit predictable (in a bad way) sometimes, and contains several elements from *The Land Before Time*.
4. This film marked the start of Disney's post-Renaissance Era, which would lead to Walt Disney Feature Animation's decline, as it largely abandons most of the tropes that defined the Disney Renaissance (which isn't a bad thing, but still). Though it's disputed if Fantasia 2000 or this film started the era.
5. A few jokes are pretty childish.

## Reception

Dinosaur received mixed reviews from critics and audiences where they praise the opening sequence and animation, but criticized the lack of originality in the story with a 64% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 123 reviews and an average score of 6.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads "While *Dinosaur'*s plot is generic and dull, its stunning computer animation and detailed backgrounds are enough to make it work a look." Metacritic scores the film with a weighted average score of 56 out of 100, based on 32 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". The film also received an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale from Audiences polled by CinemaScore, and an 6.4/10 from IMDb.

Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix

***Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix*** is an animated science-fiction television film based on the animated Cartoon Network television series *Ben 10*. It aired on August 10, 2007 in the United States and on October 22, 2007 in the UK during the week-long special "Ben 10 Week"

It was released to DVD on May 20, 2008. The film comprises the three episodes of the fourth season, and is a finale to the series canonically.

## Plot

During a battle with Dr. Animo, Ben Tennyson's destruction of the scientist's "DNA bomb" accidentally sets off a self-destruct protocol in the Omnitrix. Its activation alerts Tetrax Shard, an intergalactic bounty hunter and one of Ben's allies, who travels with his alien slime-like pilot Gluto to Earth in order to retrieve Ben. He explains the situation to Ben, who hasn't figured out the meaning of the countdown. He leaves Gwen and Grandpa Max behind, not wanting the latter to be recognized during their trip, but Gwen sneaks onboard anyway. Using the advanced medical equipment onboard his ship, Tetrax finds the DNA signature of the Omnitrix's creator, Azmuth, and tracks him to a prison facility called Incarcecon. During the journey, Tetrax hopes that Ben will stop being a hero when the Omnitrix stops the countdown and Azmuth shuts it up for good. Ben is upset that he'll never be a hero again. After staging a breakout, they free a female Chimera Sui Generis (Vilgax's species) named Myaxx, who is Azmuth's assistant; she had switched her DNA signature for Azmuth's when he refused to give her credit for helping to create the Omnitrix. Myaxx is also unable to disable the self-destruct, which will not only kill Ben, but destroy the entire universe as well. Myaxx knows where to find Azmuth, and leads them to Xenon, where he is currently hiding. However, Ben's arch-nemesis Vilgax, who has escaped from the Null Void, also picks up on the Omnitrix's self-destruct signal and, along with Tetrax's rival SixSix, hunts down Ben in hopes of stealing the Omnitrix for himself.

## Why It Stopped The Omnitrix's Self-Destruct Protocol

1. Awesome plot that's unique from all the episodes of the series.
2. Amazing voice acting.
3. The animation is still great as always.
4. Ben, Gwen, Grandpa Max, Tetrax and Vilgax are great characters as usual.
5. Awesome finale to the original *Ben 10*.
6. This movie sees the debut of the Omnitrix's creator, Azmuth.
7. Great inclusion of many aliens, including the debut of Way Big and Eye Guy.

## Trivia

* Neither of the alternate versions are on the disc, merely the original with Heatblast, but the fourth season DVD contains all three versions, plus the pop-up trivia version.
* In April 2008, it was revealed that this movie serves as the official finale to the series, even though it was aired months before the last eight episodes of the fourth season.

2010: The Year We Made Contact

***2010: The Year We Make Contact*** is a 1984 science fiction film written, produced, shot and directed by Peter Hyams. It is a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film *2001: A Space Odyssey* and is based on Arthur C. Clarke's 1982 sequel novel, *2010: Odyssey Two*. The film stars Roy Scheider (replacing William Sylvester), Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban and John Lithgow, along with Keir Dullea and Douglas Rain of the cast of the previous film.

## Plot

Brave explorers are headed for the far reaches of the galaxy in the continuation of the story that began with "2001: A Space Odyssey." Their destination is Jupiter, where the Russian and American astronauts will conduct their investigation. Drs. Heywood Floyd (Roy Scheider), Walter Curnow (John Lithgow) and R. Chandra (Bob Balaban), along with shipmates Tanya (Helen Mirren) and Dave (Keir Dullea), aim to uncover what led to disaster for the deceased astronauts who preceded them.

## Why It Rocks

1. It is a great follow-up of the first film.
2. The idea of a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition is sent to Jupiter to learn what happened to the Discovery, and H.A.L. is very original, like the first film.
3. Many of the actors' performance are great, including Roy Scheider, Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban and John Lithgow, Keir Dullea and Douglas Rain.
4. Like the first film, the cinematography is breathtaking and the camera angles are still stunning, even for 1980s standards.
5. Lots of heartwarming moment like how Bowman commands Hal to repeatedly broadcast a final message to Earth: "ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE USE THEM TOGETHER USE THEM IN PEACE".
6. HAL-9000 is still a awesome antagonist who is restarted by his creator, Dr. Chandra, who arrives on the Soviet spaceship Leonov.
7. It has amazing grasp of the source material to the novel.
8. The ending is great where the new star's miraculous appearance inspires the American and Soviet leaders to seek peace. Europa gradually transforms from an icy wasteland to a humid jungle covered with plant life. A Monolith stands in a swamp, waiting for intelligent life forms to evolve.
9. Amazing soundtrack that is performed by David Shire.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. Despite being great follow-up of the first film, releasing the film 16 years after the first film is almost too late for a sequel. As a result, the idea for a sequel was basically stale (through it is very original).

## Reception

*2010: The Year We Make Contact* was generally positive. It holds a 66% "Fresh" rating with an average score of 5.78/10 on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 35 reviews. The critical consensus reads, "*2010* struggles to escape from the shadow of its monolithic predecessor, but offers brainy adventure in a more straightforward voyage through the cosmos.". Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 53 out of 100, based on 15 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)

***Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!*** is a 1966 American Christmas animated television special directed by Chuck Jones. It is based on the eponymous 1957 children's book by Dr. Seuss, the story of the Grinch trying to take away Christmas from the townsfolk of Whoville below his mountain hideaway. Originally telecast in the United States on CBS on December 18, 1966, it went on to become a perennial holiday special. Directed by Chuck Jones, it features the voice of Boris Karloff.

## Why It's Anything But A Mean One

1. It's 100% faithful to the original book of the same name.
2. It has the glorious traditional cel animation that fits the Dr. Seuss tone very well.
3. It has some decent vocal performances; Boris Karloff was great as the Grinch.
4. Memorable and catchy songs such as "Welcome Christmas" and "You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch".
5. The Message is important. *"Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps, means a little bit more."* Although the principles *are* Christian, at least the themes here are broader and could be applied to material culture and religion in general.
6. Uplifting and emotional moments such as the Grinch learning the true meaning of Christmas and gives all the presents back to the Whos.
7. Dr. Seuss was involved in making the film.
8. Chuck Jones's astounding direction of the film.
9. The added rhymes written exclusively for the special are perfect ad-libs.

## Bad Qualities

1. Like the other four specials that come later in the 70’s; Horton Hears a Who, The Cat and the Hat, The Lorax, and Dr. Seuss on the Loose, the narrator (including the Grinch) doesn't follow what was written in the original book word-for-word.
2. Even though it’s explained why the Grinch hates Christmas, it makes no sense for him to see or hear what is happening when he lives far away from them.
3. Occasional animation errors. For example, when the Grinch sneaks down the chimney, his hat turns green for a few frames.

## Trivia

* First Dr. Seuss special
* Thurl Ravenscroft being uncredited in this Dr. Seuss’ special is one of the infamous errors. Dr. Seuss attempted to rectify by sending letters to every major columnist in America identifying Ravenscroft as the singer on "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch!". He is also part of the chorus on the other two songs.
* First Dr. Seuss special to be directed by Chuck Jones.
* Boris Karloff, who voiced the Grinch in this special, did not return to reprise his role as the Grinch in a prequel called *Halloween is Grinch Night*, due to his death, so he was posthumously replaced by Hans Conried, who voiced Captain Hook in *Peter Pan*.

Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan

Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, known in Japan as Dragon Ball Z: Burn!! Hot Battle - Fierce Battle - Super Fierce Battle (Japanese: ドラゴンボールZ 燃えつきろ!!熱戦・烈戦・超激戦, Hepburn: Doragon Bōru Zeddo Moetsukiro!! Nessen Ressen Chō-Gekisen) or by Toei's own English title Dragon Ball Z: The Burning Battles, is a 1993 Japanese anime science fiction martial arts film and the eighth Dragon Ball Z feature film. The original release date in Japan was on March 6, 1993 at the Toei Anime Fair alongside Dr. Slump and Arale-chan: N-cha! Clear Skies Over Penguin Village. It was dubbed into English and released by Funimation in 2003.

The antagonist Broly was created by Takao Koyama and was designed by series creator Akira Toriyama. This film is the first of three titular films featuring the character, followed by Broly – Second Coming and Bio-Broly in 1994. The character also appeared in Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D at Super Tenkaichi Budokai, a cinematic attraction at Universal Studios Japan in 2017.

In 2018, a reboot film titled Dragon Ball Super: Broly was released and served as a retelling of Broly's origins and character arc, taking place after the conclusion of the Dragon Ball Super television series

## Good Qualities

* It is often considered to be the best Dragon Ball movie in 90s due it's atmosphere, characterization, art and battles.
* Broly is a frightening and intimidating antagonist due to his presence, impact, and personality (unlike Android 13 and Bojack). Despite his backstory coming off as weak (due to Toei's poor explanation telling) he motives are sorta understandable as he doesn't resent Goku directly but the memories of his spirit subduing him as an infant made him remind him of his assassination and nearly being killed during Planet Vegeta's destruction as well as setting out to become the strongest saiyan making him the perfect parralel to Goku (unlike Turles and Goku Black). He also resents King Vegeta and his son much like his father Paragus.
* All the characters are still well-written such as Goku, Roshi, Krillin, Piccolo, Trunks and Vegeta.
* The plot is more original due to the fact that Goku and the Dragon Team are fighting on another world rather than on Earth.
* The ending music is awesome.

## Bad Qualities

* Broly's backstory can be mixed due to Toei's poor explanation on why Broly gets tense around Goku.
* It can get dark at times especially when Broly is stabbed as a baby and Broly killing Paragus.
* The English music for the Funimation Dub while good can be too much as it takes away the tension from the Japanese Sub.
