Yo, these movies are fucking weird. Each individual one is like a very bizarre time capsule of the time it came out in regards to the fears and discourse of the time. All of them are incredibly messy in just about every way. They’re wild and mostly pretty fascinating even if “good” is not quite the word to describe ’em.
4. Lethal Weapon 2 [1989]
The Matrix fucking rules, and the sequels mostly rule and are certainly much cooler than 99% of shit that comes out today. These are the best non-Keanu performances in the series (SO FAR).

Okay, so these movies are mostly ass. In fact, calling them “movies” is pretty much a stretch. For the most part, it just feels like the books were plugged into Google Translate to go from “book” to “movie” and they were just spit out. There was no real vision and the differing early styles, and the whole thing was clearly just a quick cash-in. Whatever! These books were not designed well for adaptation for the screen (big or small). As such, there’s really no great acting in there, but some characters were better served than others in the script with actors actually doing what was needed!

At The Reel World, we believe instead of paying us money to listen to and read our mundane thoughts on popular culture, you should give back what you can to people who need it.

Star Wars was never really known for its standout performances, but some of the work involved was still quite good! Here were the best of the bunch!
10. Ewan McGregor
1. Why do the sets look so cheap?
It looks like a student film that somehow held the real actors hostage. Continue reading 14 Questions about The Star Wars Holiday Special
The original Thrawn trilogy of books has been something I have been meaning to read for years. As someone who has what can most charitably be described as a misguided interest* in the Star Wars book extended universe, I had heard about the books a while ago and never got to them. Having only read the Disney Thrawn books, I decided that was simply unacceptable and finally had to read the originals. Here were my thoughts!
*It’s a crippling addiction.
1. Thrawn is genuinely interesting!
